I use nextcloud cookbook but I would really love another or a federated alternative. It does its job but I don’t think other people I know would use it.
Another vote for RecipeSage here, I like that it can scrape recipes from a URL, and I really like how it can scale ingredients by how many servings you want to make.
I guess this doesn’t qualify as self-hosted but I’m gonna comment anyway. I really like Pestle for iOS. I love the way it cuts the shit out of those 5,000,000 paragraph long introductions before the actual recipe and just grand the important parts. It’s very handy.
Yep, this is how we’ve kept ours for over 20 years. Even if you don’t use the command line, most graphical file browsers will search through text files without issue.
I’ve tried several, but I’ve had a major incident and lost all of the recipes I had because of a database corruption.
So I decided against keeping recipes in databases. I migrated to Notion, but I kept looking for a replacement since that’s not self-hosted. Eventually I ran across Silverbullet, and I’ve been using it for everything, so far it’s been great. Not exactly specifically what you asked but it can be used for it and works great.
Hahah, enjoy my upvote for speaking what all of us have thought at one time or another.
I think I’ve finally hit an ok point with backups: 3 copies of everything at home (on spinning disks), with one backup in the cloud. And I’m working on building a backup system between my brother’s house and mine.
I ended up creating my own because I couldn’t find something that did what I want a few years ago when I started looking. My main requirement was easy scaling of ingredients. It has a handful of features around that such as scaling by specifying servings, scaling by setting the amount of a particular ingredient (example making pancakes with leftover buttermilk, pour the buttermilk into the bowl then scale the recipe based on how much was left) and ingredient conversion. In most other ways it is pretty basic and free-form but it does the job. It stores data in a user-provided provider so other people never send me their recipes.
