I check the issue tracker and the subreddit pretty much daily, but don't provide any support beyond that._ ## Community contributions See the website for a list of community contributed Add-ons / Tools. → [https://grocy.info/addons](https://grocy.info/addons) ## How to install > Checkout [Grocy Desktop](https://github.com/grocy/grocy-desktop), if you want to run Grocy without having to manage a webserver just like a normal (Windows) desktop application. > > Directly download the [latest release](https://releases.grocy.info/latest-desktop) (also [available via the Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NWB1TRNNKSF)) - the installation is nothing more than just clicking 2 times "next". Grocy is technically a pretty simple PHP application, so the basic notes to get it running are: - Unpack the [latest release](https://releases.grocy.info/latest) - Copy `config-dist.php` to `data/config.php` + edit to your needs - Ensure that the `data` directory is writable - The webserver root should point to the `public` directory - Include `try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$query_string;` in your location block if you use nginx - Or disable URL rewriting (see the option `DISABLE_URL_REWRITING` in `data/config.php`) - → Default login is user `admin` with password `admin`, please change the password immediately (user menu at the top right corner) Alternatively clone this repository (the `release` branch always references the latest released version) and install Composer and Yarn dependencies manually. See the website for more installation guides and troubleshooting help. → [https://grocy.info/links](https://grocy.info/links) ### Platform support - PHP 8.5 (with SQLite 3.40+) - Required PHP extensions: `fileinfo`, `pdo_sqlite`, `gd`, `ctype`, `intl`, `zlib`, `mbstring` - Recent Firefox, Chrome or Edge ## How to run using Docker → https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/grocy ## How to update - Overwrite everything with the [latest release](https://releases.grocy.info/latest) while keeping the `data` directory - Check `config-dist.php` for new configuration options and add them to your `data/config.php` where appropriate (the default values from `config-dist.php` will be used for not in `data/config.php` defined settings) If you run Grocy on Linux, there is also `update.sh` (remember to make the script executable via `chmod +x update.sh` and ensure that you have `unzip` installed) which does exactly this and additionally creates a backup (`.tgz` archive) of the current installation in `data/backups` (backups older than 60 days will be deleted during the update). ## Localization Grocy is fully localizable - the default language is English (integrated into code), a German localization is always maintained by me. You can easily help translating Grocy on [Transifex](https://explore.transifex.com/grocy/grocy/) if your language is incomplete or not available yet. The default language can be set in `data/config.php`, e. g. `Setting('DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'de');` and there is also a user setting (see the user settings page) to set a different language per user. The [pre-release demo](https://demo-prerelease.grocy.info) is available for any translation which is at least 70 % complete and will pull the translations from Transifex 10 minutes past every hour, so you can have a kind of instant preview of your contributed translations. Thank you! Also any translation which once reached a completion level of 70 % ([`strings` resource](https://app.transifex.com/grocy/grocy/strings/)) will be included in releases. _RTL languages are not yet supported._ ## Motivation A household needs to be managed. Before Grocy I did this (for almost 10 years) using my first self written software (a C# Windows forms application) and with a bunch of Excel sheets. The software was a pain to use at the end and Excel is Excel. So I searched for and tried different things for a (very) long time, nothing 100 % fitted, so this is my aim for a "complete household management"-thing. ERP your fridge! ## Things worth to know ### REST API See the integrated Swagger UI instance on [/api](https://demo.grocy.info/api). The web frontend uses exactly this API for pretty much everything. So everything you can do there is also possible via the API. ### Barcode readers & camera scanning Some fields (with a barcode icon) also allow to select a value by scanning a barcode. It works best when your barcode reader prefixes every barcode with a letter which is normally not part of a item name (I use a `$`) and sends a `TAB` after a scan. Additionally it's also possible to use your device camera to scan a barcode by using the camera button on the right side of the corresponding input field (powered by [ZXing](https://github.com/zxing-js/library), totally offline / client-side camera stream processing. Please note due to browser security restrictions, this only works when serving Grocy via a secure connection (`https://`)). [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veezFX4X1JU) and [there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5YH6IJFnfc) are quick video demos of that. _My personal recommendation: Use a USB barcode laser scanner. They are cheap and work 1000% better, faster, under any lighting condition and from any angle._ ### Barcode lookup via external services Products can be directly added to the database via looking them up against external services by a barcode. This can be done in-place using the product picker workflow "External barcode lookup" (the workflow dialog is displayed when entering something unknown in any product input field) Quick video demo: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-moXPA-VvGc> A plugin for [Open Food Facts](https://world.openfoodfacts.org/) is included and used by default (see the `data/config.php` option `STOCK_BARCODE_LOOKUP_PLUGIN`). See that plugin or `plugins/DemoBarcodeLookupPlugin.php` for a commented example implementation if you want to build a plugin. ### Input shorthands for date fields For (productivity) reasons all date (and time) input (and display) fields use the ISO-8601 format regardless of localization. The following shorthands are available: - `MMDD` gets expanded to the given day on the current year, if > today, or to the given day next year, if < today, in proper notation - Example: `0517` will be converted to `2026-05-17` - `YYYYMMDD` gets expanded to the proper ISO-8601 notation - Example: `20260417` will be converted to `2026-04-17` - `YYYYMMe` or `YYYYMM+` gets expanded to the end of the given month in the given year in proper notation - Example: `202607e` will be converted to `2026-07-31` - `[+/-]n[d/m/y]` gets expanded to a date relative to today, while adding (**+**) or subtracting (**-**) the **n**umber of **d**ays/**m**onths/**y**ears, in proper notation - Example: `+1m` will be converted to the same day next month - `x` gets expanded to `2999-12-31` (which is an alias for "never overdue") - Down/up arrow keys will increase/decrease the date by 1 day - Right/left arrow keys will increase/decrease the date by 1 week - Shift + down/up arrow keys will increase/decrease the date by 1 month - Shift + right/left arrow keys will increase/decrease the date by 1 year ### Keyboard shorthands for buttons Wherever a button contains a bold highlighted letter, this is a shortcut key. Example: Button "**P** Add as new product" can be "pressed" by using the `P` key on your keyboard. ### Installable web app (PWA) Grocy's web frontend is responsive and an "installable web app" ([PWA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app), without providing any offline usage capabilities), that provides a pretty native mobile app-like experience without the need for additional tools. - Quick video demo on Android/Firefox: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L38drVZfwHs> - Quick video demo on Android/Chrome: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjLdXUFDNuk> ### Database migrations Database schema migration is done when visiting the root (`/`) route (click on the logo in the left upper edge) as needed and is also triggered automatically if the version has changed (so when an update has been made). _Please note: Database migrations are supposed to work between releases, not between every commit. If you want to run the current `master` branch (which is the development version), you need to handle that (and more) yourself._ ### Disable certain features If you don't use certain feature sets of Grocy (for example if you don't need "Chores"), there are feature flags per major feature set to hide/disable the related UI elements (see `config-dist.php`). ### Adding your own CSS or JS without to have to modify the application itself - When the file `data/custom_js.html` exists, the contents of the file will be added just before `</body>` (end of body) on every page - When the file `data/custom_css.html` exists, the contents of the file will be added just before `</head>` (end of head) on every page ### Demo mode When the `MODE` setting is set to `dev`, `demo` or `prerelease`, the application will work in a demo mode which means authentication is disabled and some demo data will be generated during the database schema migration (pass the query parameter `nodemodata`, e.g. `https://grocy.example.com/?nodemodata` to skip that). ### Embedded mode When the file `embedded.txt` exists, it must contain a valid and writable path which will be used as the data directory instead of `data` and authentication will be disabled (used in [Grocy Desktop](https://github.com/grocy/grocy-desktop)). In embedded mode, settings can be overridden by text files in `data/settingoverrides`, the file name must be `<SettingName>.txt` (e. g. `BASE_URL.txt`) and the content must be the setting value (normally one single line). ## Contributing / Say Thanks See <https://grocy.info/#say-thanks> if you just want to say thanks or [Contributing](https://github.com/grocy/grocy?tab=contributing-ov-file#contributing-ov-file) for anything else. ## Roadmap There is none. The progress of a specific bug/enhancement is always tracked in the corresponding request, at least by commit comment references. [Milestones](https://github.com/grocy/grocy/milestones) are used to indicate in which version the corresponding request was done (`vNEXT` means it's currently planned to do that for the next release). ## Screenshots ### Stock overview  ### Shopping List  ### Meal Plan  ### Chores overview  ## License The MIT License (MIT)
