Mealie

Your recipe box & meal planner

About

A recipe book and meal planner for the household. Paste a link and the recipe is imported, plan the week, get a shopping list.

Notes

Cookbook and meal-planner with shopping lists and recipe import from URLs. Single container backed by SQLite — perfect for a household-scale install.

Built from the official ghcr.io/mealie-recipes/mealie image. Mealie seeds a built-in admin on first boot (its email/password are fixed by upstream and cannot be pre-set); you log in with it and change both immediately — see the getting-started note after install.

All recipes, images, backups and the SQLite DB live under the mounted data directory.
