Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Quick update for anyone following the project. NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition tracker I've been building. Single Docker container, your data stays on your hardware, no external accounts.

This release ships the first native Android app alongside the existing PWA. Signed APK is attached to the GitHub release.

What you get on Android:

  • Standalone, or connect it to a NutriTrace server for sync
  • Health Connect for steps, sleep, heart rate, body weight
  • Native barcode scanning
  • Native notifications for water reminders, meal prompts, weigh-ins, and goal celebrations
  • OIDC SSO via deep link if you run Authentik, Keycloak, Pocket ID, etc.

Release: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.14 Repo: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace

Still on the v1.0 release-candidate cadence so there will be be bugs. Please feel free to post issues here or on Github.

Thanks to everyone who's tried it, provided suggestions and filed bugs along the way. If you find it useful, a star on the repo or a mention to someone looking for a self-hosted nutrition/fitness alternative helps a lot.

Thank you! Enjoy the app!

Food often contains water. Can I configure how much water a food has per 100g or 100ml? I didn't find it in the nutrition list.

Would this amount of water be included into the daily water budget?

[–] TraceApps@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Currently no, there's no per-food water field in NutriTrace, and food water doesn't count toward your daily water goal. The water tab tracks drinking water only.

What's the actual use case for you, comprehensive nutrition accounting, or trying to reduce the explicit drinking water target based on what you ate? They're different problems and the answer would shape what (if anything) makes sense to add in the future.
