Podify

Does anyone know of any good Podify setup guides? (The Podify that uses yt-dl and formats podcast feeds - here) Seems like there are a few projects with the same name and if there are any guides they're getting buried in search results under all the "other" podifies.

My question: next, I would like to set up Podify (https://github.com/podify-org/podify). The instructions say I need Docker. Is there a way I can run Podify on my OpenBSD server? Or would I need to set up an entirely new server?
Any apps for self hosting podcast feeds to use in podcast apps?

At least for the last point i can recommend jellyfin. It has a web interface, a android tv app and an iphone app. I use it on my phone, tv and in the browser.

It's a pain to get set up initially, but the Automatic Ripping Machine[1] plus Jellyfin/Plex/etc[2] makes for a great combination.
