Hi,
I have a few questions about managing data sources in OpenNutriTracker.
How can I disable external food databases and rely only on my own data?
How are custom foods intended to be managed?
I can see that I can create or import custom items, but I cannot find a way to list or export the items I have added.(I found that my custom food items are available under Recipes > Custom meals. It seems this section is a bit hidden, so I initially missed it. Also, the Food section in the search does not list them at all. I can only find them there if I remember the exact name I saved them under and search for it manually.)I also do not see an option to disable online or otherwise externally sourced data. Since many of those entries contain incorrect information, I would prefer not to use them.
Is there any way to run a self-hosted database that the app can sync with? That way, I would not need to keep editing CSV files, copying them to my phone, and importing them manually. Instead, I could manage the data comfortably from my PC, and the phone could automatically connect to the database when it is available.
Thank you.
