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

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.

Ask HN: Is there a visual data mapper for JSON transformation?
I believe you can achieve that with n8n. Used in past (and still running) for some data transformation and little more. Possibly similar case what are you describing.

To whoever uses Supabase as their backend: what's your full no-code / low-code stack?
I'm using Weweb as my front end and Supabase as my back end. I'm also looking into n8n.io to run some of the backend logic that I'm either unsure how to code myself within Supabase or unsure if Supabase can perform those back-end tasks and workflows. Curious what stack or tools other Supabase users are using?
