Same process here, started with yunojost and now using docker directly. Still Yunohost got me into self-hosting when I didn’t know anything about it, definitely recommended for starting out.

I still remember years ago one time windows fucked itself and god knows why I couldn’t fix it even with USB recovery or stuff like that (long time ago, I don’t remember).

Since I couldn’t boot into recovery mode the easiest way to backup my stuff to a connected external drive was “open notepad from the command line -> use the GUI send to… command to send the files to the external drive -> wait and profit” lol.

Yep this is what I meant, thanks for saying it in a proper way :)

I am currently using Mealie with docker, which being a containers noob seemed easier to setup compared to Tandoor. I have it behind tailscale as well.

Mealie works well for what I need to do, I don’t plan in advance yet, but I just import recipes and it works 9 out 10. I will need to try the shopping list features sooner or later.

There is no mobile app that I am aware of but the webpage works perfectly on mobile with a bookmark.

Off-topic, but for someone who recently switch to hhkb layout, I find it way more comfortable to activate shortcuts with caps-lock (Ctrl in hhkb) pinky rather than with regular command.

Thanks! Definitely helps and I am happy to see how people are approaching the problem. It seems indeed an automated/selfhosted solution is not always the best in this case. I will also check out Kotatsu, didn’t know about that :)
