Foodculator

Foodculator is a web service, written in C++, that allows you to record all your favourite food recipes, catalog your tableware, and, most importantly, calculate nutrition of a dish you are cooking today.

Build

$ sudo apt-get install g++ make binutils cmake libssl-dev libboost-system-dev zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. && make -j4

Run

$ foodculator path/to/folder/static /tmp/database.db

• /version http handler exposes the value of VERSION env variable.
• PORT env variable is used to override the port (1234 by default).

Build with Docker

$ docker build .

Run in Docker

$ docker run -p 1234:1234 --rm -d \
   --label=com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.stop-signal=SIGKILL \
   -v /root/foodprod:/data \
   --name foodculator \
   docker.pkg.github.com/lelika1/foodculator/foodculator:latest

Implementation details

Foodculator builds with CMake. All its external dependencies are defined as git submodules for this repo.

We use:

• yhirose/cpp-httplib - to start an HTTP server from within a C++ process.
• dropbox/json11 - for working with JSON in C++
• fmtlib/fmt - for better & faster string formatting.
• google/googletest - for writing unit tests
• libsqlite3 - it should be installed on your system such that we can statically link with it.

NOTE: It is recommended to put foodculator behind some reverse proxy like nginx that would terminate https and do authentication, if needed.
