Does anyone self-host any recipe/meal planner/shopping list software? I’ve been looking at Tandoor or Mealie but I am not too sure which one will best serve my needs. I would really like to be able to go through my saved recipes, easily plan out a weeks worth of meals and have that exported to a shopping list of some kind.

Most of the discussion I could find online appears to be somewhat dated (2-3 years) and I know that can be a long time for some projects. Does anyone host either if these two programs and if so, which one did you choose and why? I’m open to any other projects that may be better for my use case. It would only be used on my located network and maybe accessed via tailscale occasionally. I’m fairly new to self-hosting but this is one thing that my partner was excited about. Thanks in advance!

    I was happy with tandoor for a while. Didn’t try any others.

    However one problem remains for me; my household is bilingual. Any real recipe manager like this (for me) needs to easily convert ingredients/recipes between two languages.

    Anyone know of any solution for this (aside from manually running every recipe output through a translator)?

      It looks like it’s an open request on Mealie. I don’t see one for Tandoor. Shame, because Mealie already has aliases for ingredients, it shouldn’t be too hard to extend that to respect the language setting.
