Thanks, your two year old video helped me get mealie running on my home server without any problems!

[Farizno]

This is fantastic! Thanks again for another great video. I think my wife will love this, which is fantastic because it gives me some additional basis for needing a homelab!!

[StatisticZ]

This looks awesome! Have set quite a few things up the last 24 hours thanks to your video guides. Can’t wait to add this!

[Destide]

I love these docker reviews there's so much out there

[selfhosted]

This looks great! Love how easy it looks to add recipes from links like that. Very cool!

[andrec]

Just set this up today and it's working great, I can't believe how well the website scraping works; to cool!

[kopparsulfat]

Love this idea. Going to try this one. 👍👌

[JoshuaYoungsma]

Looks like some good software! I really like your tutorial videos!

[aaronjohnson]

Trying this now and hoping it's compatible with a magic mirror I want to build and put in my kitchen in a few months (wife won't cook without recipes and me prepping, and I'm tired of being the chef so I'm hoping to make us both happy!). Mainly commenting to say it's interesting how much the docker compose file has changed since you posted this 7 monthsish ago. Getting a lot of deprecated warnings omitted notifications though, so I wonder if there are a lot of upcoming changes that might break things.

Thanks DB Tech for this video. The big disadvantage of this application is that there is no login option. When you open this application to the internet, anyone can add recipes to it. The application itself looks promising.

[chrisumali]

thanks for the demo and info, now I am hungry lol

[sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

This is incredible!

What I need to know is if there is ANY way to add ingredient databases (for those of us who are vegetarian, Keto, Carnivore, or anything else)? A lot of times we have to replace ingredients (and being able to add conversion tables, weights/measures for our ingredients would be SUPER helpful. :-D

[RocknRolfHamburg]

Thx for sharing, that is a program I don't now that I want to have right now. It is that kind of program what a lazy person like me need.

[RDMB]

Nice. I wanted some more info on this.

[jepolch]

Looks really good. Thanks! I need something like this for my recipes. Unfortunately, my hundreds of recipes are save as PDFs. I'd have to figure out how to import them. One question: your volume location ./mealie/data/:/app/data will store the data on the boot disk?

[danmiller]

Thank you for the video, I find so many of them informational. Any chance you'll do an updated version and show how to install this with sql?

[TheAramis]

Could you review the latest version of Mealie which is using Postgress DB ?
I'm getting error trying to login to GUI - "POST /api/auth/token HTTP/1.1" 401

[jeffmachamer]

Maybe a stupid question, but what server are you SSHing into to install the docker image? I'm using OMV with Docker/Portainer and am unfamiliar with installing a docker image manually in this situation. Should I just ssh into my OMV server and follow your instructions from there? Thanks!

[KAlavi]

Hey, thanks for your videos I learned a lot through them. I have a raspberry 4 and installed openmediavault and portainer on it. Now I try to make a webserver with the container on portainer with the webserver nginx or apache [the idea was to use MySQL and php and Wordpress on those webservers] but I couldn't get it working. I could ony download the templates httpd and nginx and I was able to access those website with another computer but i wasn't able to put websites on those webservers. So I really need your help. I also used the macVlan as you described, because I wanted to have own Ip-addresses for the webservers. that was easy to implement due to your good videos.
It would be really awesome if you could make a video, with the title for example : how to put php and MysSQL and wordpress on an self hostet webserver (nginx/ apache2) that I host on my container on portainer with an own Ip address, that I made with MacVlan)

I would like to request a video about Aria2 and Podsync on Raspberry pi playlist.
