Export

Export downloads all your kitchen data as a ZIP file.

How to export

On the homepage, click Export All Data. Your browser downloads a .zip file immediately.

What’s included

• All recipes — one .md file per recipe, in the recipe format
• QuickBites — all quick bite definitions
• Ingredient catalog — nutrition data, aisle assignments, unit aliases
• Aisle and category ordering — your custom sort orders

What’s not included

• Meal plan state — menu selections, grocery check-off state, and pantry history are not included in the export.
• API keys — these are environment variables set at the deployment level, not stored in the database. Configure them in your docker-compose.yml or .env on the new install.
• User accounts and memberships — authentication state and kitchen memberships are not part of the export.

Using the export

The ZIP is re-importable on any mirepoix installation. Use it for:

• Backups — keep a copy of your data outside the app
• Migration — move to a new server or installation
• Editing offline — the .md files are plain text and can be edited in any text editor
