A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I found tandoor, mealie, etc too bloated and complex for a simple catalogue of recipes. my solutions was mkdocs.

i do have to write out each recipe in markdown but this gives me a chance to read each recipe in detail and understand it before it goes into my catalogue.

I love mealie. I can steal online recipes, catalogue them, adjust them to my liking, plan all the shopping. Definitely a core self hosted service in my house.

e: I was so excited I didn't realise I just parroted everything you said.

No worries I completely get it!

I can't have gluten, so a big advantage for me is importing and modifying, and yes sometimes taking pictures with notes so I can make easier adjustments next time. Definitely the right fit for us, but I can understand OP wanting something leaner if their needs are lighter for sure.
