# Getting Started
To deploy docker on your local network it is highly recommended to use docker to deploy the image straight from dockerhub. Using the docker-compose below you should be able to get a stack up and running easily by changing a few default values and deploying.
To deploy docker on your local network it is highly recommended to use docker to deploy the image straight from dockerhub. Using the docker-compose below you should be able to get a stack up and running easily by changing a few default values and deploying. Currently the only supported database is mongo.
Alternatively, this project is run in python. If you are deadset on deploying on a linux machine you can run this in an python enviromnet with a dedicated MongoDatabase. Provided that you know thats how you want to host the application, I'll assume you know how to do that.

### Installation - Docker

## Env Variables
| Variables | default | description |
| ----------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| db_username | root | The Mongodb username you specified in your mongo container |
| db_password | example | The Mongodb password you specified in your mongo container |
| db_host | mongo | The host address of MongoDB if you're in docker and using the same network you can use mongo as the host name |
| db_port | 27017 | the port to access MongoDB 27017 is the default for mongo |
| TZ | | You should set your time zone accordingly so the date/time features work correctly |

## Deployed as a Python Application
Alternatively, this project is built on Python and Mongodb. If you are dead set on deploying on a linux machine you can run this in an python environment with a dedicated MongoDatabase. Provided that you know thats how you want to host the application, I'll assume you know how to do that. I may or may not get around to writing this guide. I'm open to pull requests if anyone has a good guide on it.

# Recipes
## URL Import
Adding a recipe can be as easy as copying the recipe URL into mealie and letting the web scrapper try to pull down the information. Currently this scraper is implemented with [scrape-schema-recipe package](https://pypi.org/project/scrape-schema-recipe/). You may have mixed results on some websites, especially with blogs or non specific recipe websites. See the bulk import Option below for another a convient way to add blog style recipes into Mealie.

## Theme Settings
Color themes can be created and set from the UI in the settings page. You can select an existing color theme or create a new one. On creation of a new color theme random colors will first be generated, then you can select and save as you'd like. By default the "default" theme will be loaded for all new users visiting the site. All created color themes are avaiable to all users of the site. Seperate color themes can be set for both Light and Dark modes.

## Meal Planner Webhooks
Meal planner webhooks are post requests sent from Mealie to an external endpoint. The body of the message is the Recipe JSON of the scheduled meal. If no meal is schedule, no request is sent. The webhook functionality can be enabled or disabled as well as scheduled. Note that you must "Save Webhooks" prior to any changes taking affect serverside.

## Migration
### Chowdown
In the Admin page on the in the Migration section you can provide a URL for a repo hosting a Chowdown site and Mealie will pull the images and recipes from the instance and automatically import them into the database. Due to the nature of the yaml format you may have mixed results but you should get an error report of the recipes that had errors and will need to be manually added.

Melaie also provides a secure API for interactions from 3rd party applications. **Why does my recipe manager need an API?** An API allows integration into applications like [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) that can act as notification engines to provide custom notifications based of Meal Plan data to remind you to defrost the chicken, marinade the steak, or start the CrockPot. Additionally, you can access any avaiable API from the backend server. To explore the API spin up your server and navigate to http://yourserver.com/docs for interactive API documentation.
