We thought about looking into a Sky calendar, but naturally for what they were offering we thought there had to be a self hosted solution.

Grocy seems to fit the bill and then some. The next challenge would be getting a touch display and mini computer to act as a kiosk to display it in the house somewhere.

Anyone else using grocy?

    It’s really cool, but yeah definitely overkill. Didn’t try the calendar stuff much. I do like being able to make meal plans based on actual inventory levels, but obviously it’s a lot of maintenance to get to that point (probably easier to manage if you set up the barcode scanning and everything). I probably would have gone harder into it if the recipe builder was a little easier to use or if it integrated with something like Mealie.

      Yeah, we have a recipe app that’s pretty bare bones right now (recipya), but the best part about it is you can feed it a URL or PDF. It will turn that shit into a functional recipe entry, which is a godsend. I think there is a plugin that can add the URL -> Recipe entry into Grocy, but I’d have to play with it. Worst case, there is probably an API in both systems I can exploit that would sync one to the other.

        Mealie does this, and is pretty good at it. It’s got an API too, so should be possible to hook up together somehow, but I’ve never gone that far with it.
