I have been using this alongside MyFitnessPal and it is great! I look forward to getting rid of MFP so my data is mine.

The dev is responsive and quick to fix bugs and implement features, too. Thanks @TraceApps@lemmy.world!

Actually, I moved it to a proper repo. I also created a script to get the proper food diary info from MFP.

Yeah, feel free to link to it or integrate it into NutriTrace directly. MFP doesn’t allow users to export a lot of their data and what they do allow is pretty minimal (ex: food diary doesn’t export the food diary, simply a diary of each meal).

I don’t plan on supporting it, so it might break whenever MFP decides to update their API. But I am just glad if it helps even one person.

I created a helper script to export custom foods from MFP and store them in the NutriTrace JSON format, in case you find it helpful. https://gist.github.com/nomad64/87cf935d8373d730383c5a0e98693c94

Nice! I will have to look into this when I have time in the coming weeks. Looks like a cool project!

Is there a way to migrate a food diary from another app like MyFitnessPal?

Not sure if it is open source, but I switched to ReoLink a while back and have been very happy with it. Good Home Assistant integration, no subscription, and everything can be local (store video clips to an onboard SD Card).

I have been using various Debian-flavored Linux variets for several years in both desktop and server.

Recently I got a System76 laptop for work because they are food quality, repairable, and mostly “just work”. The main issue I have run into is Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect) simply breaks in Ubuntu/PoP. If I do get it to install by ignoring Cisco’s shitty instructions, it either won’t route traffic once connected or corrupt itself attempting to auto-update.

It is purely a Cisco issue because they don’t put much effort into their Linux VPN software. Other VPNs not only work easily, but can also integrate into PoP Cosmic. Cisco and their restrictive nature just make the process impossible.

Heck, you can’t even download their VPN software without a Cisco contract. So if my company doesn’t provide the correct version or distro package, there is no way for me to get it. Since most people on the helpdesk don’t know anything about Linux, they simply provide the generic Linux.tar.gz file instead of the DEB or RPM files.

I gave up and installed Windows on a second NVMe.

I have used Docker Swarm in my homelab for years without big issues, you just have to be aware of its limitations. For example, I use SWAG for my reverse proxy and it works better as a compose deployment on an individual docker node because then it can identify incoming IPs. All of the backend communication runs on internal networks, which helps isolate them.

I like using Swarm at home because it is simple and easy while providing good scalability and security (yes, I know podman would be more secure, but I haven’t taken that plunge yet).

That being said, Docker Swarm isn’t used in the industry much. So if you are looking to expand on your IT skills, K8s is the way.
