How do you keep recipes? Is there an app?
Mealie can be found at https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie and Mealie Client at https://github.com/kirmanak/Mealient

Selfhosting services to make life easier for my parents?
If one of them cooks, spin up a mealie instance for them. I made my mom her own after she saw some recipes on mine. And she uses it all the time. Mealie Github

Help installing Mealie?
When you get stuck like this, always look at the docker-compose.yml file if provided. You can find this one here: https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml

Mealie Docker Issues - Any Examples of it working?
I tried the official docker compose from the Github page (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml), I git cloned the whole mealie folder (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie.git) and got a whole host of issues or what seems like lots of issues. The only changes I made were to change the username and password under the postgres config. When I docker compose up the file I get the error message below (all the way at the end of this post). With the git clone I should have all of the dependencies and I am just not sure what these errors are telling me.

Internet Service in Gardena?
So far I am hosting my own photo backup and sharing (think Google Photos replacement, except the data just goes straight from my phone to a server that I have in my closet), a media server for streaming my own videos, and an awesome cloud recipe book to share with family (https://nightly.mealie.io/).

What’s your Favorite Outlandish IT task?
Personally I run mealie as a digital recipe book - https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

I have to know if anyone does something similar: my wife and I have a list of recipes (we call it “The Book”) in which we put our favorite recipes in. The only rules are that we have to make it ourselves (one of or both of us) and BOTH OF US have to 100% agree that it is good enough to be included.
For some time I've been making use of an open source recipe management tool called Mealie. You can find the code at https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

Any open source community projects ?
The in my opinion best way is to contribute to software you already use. In my case that's self-hosted stuff like Mealie or Owncast.

I tried and failed to automate my life
https://grocy.info/ should be able to do this for maintenance jobs.
It never quite worked for me either though.

Changing the Android captive portal page
I've been using the homeassistant shopping list integration but I'm planing to switch to "Specifically Clementines" [1] it's not as complete as grocy [2] but that's a feature. My partner will add to a list, not use an inventory managment system.

Asset Management for family?
I've ran Snip-IT and PartKeepr before and they are both good. I've also ran a highly customized version of grocy where I stripped out all the unnecessary food-specific features and just repurposed the inventory, lists, and barcode scanning features to be run on the built-in API server. Worked great too, but definitely not a viable option for general users.

Questions: group products in the basket, quantity conversion, userentities
Guess that's related to automatically adding missing recipe ingredients - not yet possible, tracked in #1890.
