recipe-scrapers VS paperless-ngx

Mealie uses https://github.com/hhursev/recipe-scrapers for parsing recipes from websites. There is a list of supported websites there (as well as websites that have an actual recipe schema), but it can't read just any random free form text (like the result of OCR on a scanned book) into a structured recipe. Maybe some fuzzy LLM/GPT thing would work there, but unless you're planning on serious production of archiving dozens of books I'd think it's not worth it. Just find a recipe online you like, import it, and edit it like /u/Upballoon suggested.

It makes use of a library of scrapers from https://github.com/hhursev/recipe-scrapers to parse recipes

Just found this too: https://github.com/hhursev/recipe-scrapers

Just like the title says. I am looking to be able to utilize this package Recipe Scraper I know a little about Python. But not a whole lot. Also, is there any way to scrape the recipes into a Markdown Format?

Importing recipes, be it from other recipe managers or external websites, has long been one of the most useful things that Tandoor can do for you. It has also long been very powerful by combining the awesome recipe-scrapers library with well designed algorithms, good structured data and lots of experience and community feedback. But one thing was never really finished: the Frontend.

I steered a friend towards Paperless (and away from an LLM solution) as a way of searching/accessing GBs of architectural PDFs recently - so far, it’s apparently working well for them.

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can find your physical documents easier. With features such as tags, full text search, multi-user permissions system, this is a dream for those who like to keep an organized folder of files and documents.

Since last year I’ve been configuring and maintaining my homelab setup and it is just amazing.

I’ve learned so much about containers, virtual machines and networking. Some of the self hosted applications like paperless-ngx [1] and immich [2] are much superior in terms of features than the proprietary cloud solutions.

With the addition of VPN services like tailscale [3] now I can access my homelab from anywhere in the world.

The only thing missing is to setup a low powered machine like NUC or any mini PC so I can offload the services I need 24/7 and save electricity costs.

If you can maintain it and have enough energy on weekends to perform routine maintenance and upgrades. I would 100% recommend setting up your own homelab.

This has been posted a few times already, but I cannot tell you how life changing Paperless NGX is for organizing PDFs. As someone who wrangles all of the insurance and bills for my house, this open source software is so damn good.

I maintain Bash script to quickly set it up locally on Linux with Podman. Give it a spin if you want to kick the tires.

Personally, I use https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup to archive all my emails and then only keep them on the remote server for as long as I need to (basically until I read them and respond or download an attachment into https://docs.paperless-ngx.com )
