Cookbook and meal-planner with shopping lists and recipe import from URLs. Single container backed by SQLite — perfect for a household-scale install.
Notes
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.
Open-source contribution
A fixed amount per install goes to Mealie, forwarded via GitHub Sponsors.
