Mealie

Mealie is an intuitive and easy to use recipe management app. It's designed to make your life easier by being the best recipes management experience on the web and providing you with an easy to use interface to manage your growing collection of recipes.

Mealie deployment is consisting of two containers, one for frontend and one for backend. It's database (sqlite) is stored on disk so we will be deploying this app as StatefulSet.

Deploying with Kubedeploy

We will use Helmfile to define our release and configuration.
