What is Tamari?

Tamari is a fully featured recipe manager web application built with Python and the Flask framework. A self-hosted Tamari lets each user store recipes with a title, category, ingredients, instructions, nutrition info and a photo, search them as you type, plan meals on a calendar up to 30 days ahead, build shopping lists per store and export a recipe to PDF, as an alternative to hosted recipe apps. It is licensed under GPL-3.0.

On xCloud the install runs Tamari 1.7.1 from the official image, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite and no sidecar. The tamari_data volume holds the database, recipe photos and the keys that sign sessions. xCloud creates an owner account with a generated password, and registration is closed by default, so only people you let in can sign up. Recipe import needs outbound internet.

From Sign-Up to Your First Recipe In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted recipe manager normally means a Python runtime, a data volume, a first account, a domain and a certificate before the first recipe is saved. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Tamari from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Tamari image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with built-in SQLite, mount the tamari_data volume for the database, recipe photos and signing keys, generate the owner password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add A Recipe
Save the owner email and password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Tamari URL and sign in. Then add your first recipe, or paste a recipe page URL to import one.

Everything Tamari Does, On Your Own Server

Tamari runs in full here: recipes, meal planning and shopping lists on your own domain, with the data on a volume you own.

Recipes With Photos And Nutrition
Save a title, category, description, time estimates, servings, source URL, nutrition info, ingredients, instructions and a photo for each recipe.
Import From A URL
Paste a recipe page URL to autofill a new recipe. The server needs outbound internet access to fetch the page.
Meal Planner
Assign recipes to specific dates on a calendar, up to 30 days in advance.
Shopping Lists
Keep a list for each store, add all of a recipe's ingredients with one click and check items off as you shop.
Search, Favorites And Categories
Find recipes with real-time search-as-you-type, mark favorites and browse by category.
PDF Export And Public Links
Export a recipe to PDF, or mark a single recipe public so anyone with its link can open it.

Tamari vs Alternatives

Hosted recipe apps: Hosted recipe apps keep your collection in a vendor's account. Tamari keeps recipes, photos and meal plans in a SQLite database on your own server, with registration closed by default.
Tandoor Recipes: In a Tamari vs Tandoor Recipes comparison, Tandoor has its own OneClick page. It is also a self-hosted recipe manager with meal planning, shopping lists, imports and sharing, with household collaboration in the same app.
KitchenOwl: KitchenOwl has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes grocery lists, recipes, meal planning, household collaboration and expense tracking in one app.
Grocy: Grocy has its own OneClick page. It is a wider household tool with stock tracking, best-before dates, chores and batteries, rather than a recipe-first manager.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host Tamari with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Tamari Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream ships a Docker image with a persistent volume; here xCloud runs the pinned alexbates/tamari 1.7.1 image as one container, mounts tamari_data, creates the owner account and publishes HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Tamari need?

The template asks for 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk, and QA measured about 350 MiB idle. PDF export renders pages with WeasyPrint and needs extra memory. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung, leaving ample headroom.

How do I sign in to Tamari?

Use the owner email, which is owner at your domain, and the generated password shown in the protected installation credentials, at your HTTPS URL. The account is created on the first start, which can take up to a minute while migrations run.

Can other people sign up on my Tamari server?

Not by default: registration is closed with REG_DISABLED set to True, and strangers could not register in QA. To let family or friends sign up, set REG_DISABLED to False in the Environment editor and redeploy, then close it again.

Can Tamari import recipes from other sites?

Yes. Paste a recipe page URL into the autofill field and Tamari fetches it from your server, so the server needs outbound internet access. Tamari rejects non-public addresses and does not follow redirects, so a few pages may need a manual copy.

Do Tamari password-reset emails work?

Only after you add a complete SMTP block, starting with MAIL_SERVER, to the Environment editor. Add MAIL_USE_TLS only if you want TLS, because any value, even 0, turns it on. Set the whole block or none of it.

What should I back up on a Tamari server?

Back up the whole tamari_data volume as one unit. It holds the SQLite database, the recipe photos and the keys that sign sessions and API tokens, and losing the keys logs everyone out. Test a restore before relying on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Tamari?

Tamari 1.7.1 stays pinned until you adopt a newer template version. Back up tamari_data first and read the upstream release notes. Existing sites are not upgraded automatically, and migrations run on the next start after you do move versions.

Is Tamari free?

Yes. Tamari is open source under the GPL-3.0 licence, which means the code costs nothing to run. The dedicated Cloud VPS holding the database and recipe photos is the expense, and upstream's public instance is not part of this template.

Who can see my recipes in Tamari?

Each user sees only their own recipes, meal plans and shopping lists. A recipe a user marks public can be opened by anyone with its link, and upstream's Explore page is a separate public collection, so mark a recipe public only when you mean to share it.

Is there a Tamari cloud service?

Upstream runs a public instance for trying it out, but this page is different. Your Tamari sits on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares, with recipes and photos on a volume you own and registration closed until you open it.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
