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 am currently using Mealie with docker, which being a containers noob seemed easier to setup compared to Tandoor. I have it behind tailscale as well.

Mealie works well for what I need to do, I don't plan in advance yet, but I just import recipes and it works 9 out 10. I will need to try the shopping list features sooner or later.

There is no mobile app that I am aware of but the webpage works perfectly on mobile with a bookmark.

There's no mobile app, but the web app front end is a PWA, so you can select "install" from the page in a WebKit browser and get what is effectively a mobile app.

in a WebKit browser

Yeah, but ewww.

Yep this is what I meant, thanks for saying it in a proper way :)

Also mealie supports SSO with OIDC so authelia/authentik can cover it and there is no need for separate accounts.

Also being a PWA on mobile instead of another electron app means that authentication in front of it doesn't break anything.

I was about to suggest mealient as a mobile option, but apparently it was discontinued in November.
