Mealie | Support by cloudimg

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview Mealie is the popular open source, self-hosted recipe manager, meal planner and shopping list for the whole family. It imports recipes from any URL and automatically extracts the ingredients and instructions, lets you organise recipes into cookbooks and categories, plan meals on a calendar, and generate consolidated shopping lists. A clean reactive web interface backed by a REST API makes it pleasant to use on desktop and mobile alike. This image delivers Mealie fully installed and configured as a system service, so a production ready recipe manager is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Mealie 3.19.

Application Stack Mealie is delivered as the official upstream container image, run by a systemd service as an unprivileged account. It listens on the loopback address and an nginx reverse proxy fronts the application on port 80, with the upgrade headers Mealie needs and a raised upload limit for recipe images. A systemd service starts Mealie on boot and restarts it on failure.

Secure By Default Mealie ships with a well known default administrator account out of the box. This image instead generates a fresh administrator password uniquely for your instance on its first boot and writes it to a root only file, and requires login. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

Ready To Use Browse to the instance on port 80, sign in as the administrator, and start adding recipes. Paste a recipe URL and Mealie imports it automatically, or add a family recipe with the editor. Plan meals on the calendar and build shopping lists. Your recipes, the database, uploaded images and the token signing key live on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume kept separate from the operating system disk. SQLite is the default datastore; teams needing more concurrency can switch to PostgreSQL.
