What is Tandoor Recipes?

Tandoor Recipes is a self-hosted recipe manager with a recipe collection, meal plans, shopping lists, cookbooks and sharing with friends and family. A self-hosted Tandoor Recipes imports recipes from thousands of websites that use ld+json or microdata, offers full-text search, tags, fractions and recipe scaling, and can import from many other recipe managers, as an alternative to a hosted recipe app. Upstream licenses it under AGPL-3.0 with a Commons Clause condition.

On xCloud the install runs Tandoor Recipes 2.6.15 with PostgreSQL 17.6, both pinned by digest, behind HTTPS on your domain. Three volumes hold the state: tandoor_db for the database, tandoor_media for uploads and tandoor_static for generated assets. The administrator comes from the install form, public signup stays disabled, and the proxy caps request bodies at 100 MB.

From Sign-Up to a Live Recipe Manager In Just 3 Easy Steps

A recipe manager normally means two containers, a database, an admin account, three volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first recipe. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Tandoor Recipes from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Administrator Username, Administrator Email and Timezone and either enter your own administrator password or leave it blank for xCloud to generate one securely.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Tandoor Recipes 2.6.15 image, pinned by immutable digest with pinned PostgreSQL 17.6 alongside it, mount the tandoor_db, tandoor_media and tandoor_static volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Import A Recipe
Open your domain, sign in with the administrator credentials you set or xCloud generated, and create or import your first recipe. Rotate the initial password inside Tandoor.

Tandoor Recipes vs Alternatives

Hosted recipe apps: Hosted recipe apps keep your collection in a vendor's account. Tandoor Recipes keeps recipes, meal plans and media on your own server, with PostgreSQL on a private network.
Tamari: In a Tandoor Recipes vs Tamari comparison, Tamari has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a recipe manager with meal planning and shopping lists built on SQLite in a single container.
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, chores and batteries, where Tandoor Recipes concentrates on recipes, meal plans and shopping lists.

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 Tandoor Recipes with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Tandoor Recipes Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream has easy Docker setup with examples; here xCloud runs the pinned official image and PostgreSQL 17.6, adds three volumes, creates the administrator and publishes HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Tandoor Recipes need?

The template asks for 2 GiB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GiB of disk as a floor for Tandoor Recipes. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung here. Recipe images and retained backups can need substantially more storage.

How do I change the Tandoor Recipes administrator password?

Inside Tandoor. ADMIN_USERNAME, ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD initialise the administrator only once, so later environment edits do not reset the account. The password is generated if you leave it blank and shown only in the protected credentials.

Is there an import size limit in Tandoor Recipes?

The xCloud proxy caps request bodies at 100 MB, below Tandoor's own 512 MB limit. A recipe photo fits easily, but a cookbook import over 100 MB fails with a 413 before Tandoor sees it. Split large imports into smaller files.

Can anyone sign up on my Tandoor Recipes server?

No. Public signup stays disabled and the administrator comes from the install form. Invite the people you want, and they join the household. That keeps strangers from creating accounts and filling the media volume with uploads.

Can Tandoor Recipes import recipes from websites?

Yes. Upstream lists importing recipes from thousands of websites that support ld+json or microdata, and importing a collection from many other recipe managers. The server fetches the page, so it needs outbound internet access, and an oddly marked-up page may need a manual copy.

What should I back up on a Tandoor Recipes server?

Back up tandoor_db and tandoor_media together at one consistent recovery point. The tandoor_static volume only contains generated assets. Test restoration before relying on it, since a database restored without its media leaves broken photos, and keep a copy off the server too.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Tandoor Recipes?

Version 2.6.15 and PostgreSQL 17.6 stay pinned until you adopt a newer template version. Review the upstream release and migration notes and take a consistent database-and-media backup first. If it goes wrong, restore that matching backup rather than assuming a database downgrade is safe.

Is Tandoor Recipes free?

Yes. Upstream says the software and all its features are free for everyone to use; its source is under AGPL-3.0 with a Commons Clause condition. What you pay for is the dedicated Cloud VPS that stores the database and every recipe photo you upload, so size its disk for the size of your collection.

Does Tandoor Recipes have AI features?

Upstream lists AI to recognise images, sort recipe steps and find nutrition facts. This template configures no AI provider, so those features need setup of your own, and any provider usage is billed by that provider, not by xCloud.

Is there a Tandoor Recipes cloud service?

Upstream offers its own hosted version, which its README says is currently only available in Germany. This page is different: your Tandoor Recipes runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares, with the database and media on volumes you own and signup under your control.

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.
