Hey all, sharing what I’ve been working on. NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition and wellness tracker that runs entirely on your own server in a single Docker container.
I built it because every commercial nutrition app has the same shape. You hand them years of food data, body measurements, and biometrics, and your data is held hostage when they pivot or paywall. I wanted to track macros and pull in my Fitbit data without participating in that.
Daily food diary with multi-ingredient meals, recipes, body stats, water tracking, day-level notes. Personal food database, barcode scanner, imports from Open Food Facts and USDA, plus optional Mealie integration. Statistics with trend charts, full backup, exports as CSV / JSON / full ZIP.
Optional wellness device sync from Fitbit, Withings, Garmin, and Android Health Connect. Sleep / readiness / stress scores computed from your data.
Optional AI assistant where you bring your own Claude / OpenAI / Gemini key. It queries your real data via tool use so it can answer things like “what was my average protein this month” without making numbers up. There’s a voice food logger too. Both fully optional, off by default.
Tech: Svelte 4 + Express + better-sqlite3, multi-stage Dockerfile, AGPL-3.0. Native Android app is in active development; PWA installs to home screen on any modern browser today.

Happy to answer questions.
How well would this work internationally? More a question on the resources but does open food facts log international barcodes? I knowour stuff is way different to the same product stocked in the US.
Barcodes work internationally. i can confirm because i have used in both europe (italy) and africa (south africa). Only difference between nutrition facts i see is that the US uses Sodium and i want to at least Europe uses Salt. I have a built in conversion where when one is used the other is automatically calculated.
What does the mealie integration enable? I assume it’s providing foods that can be logged, but can you also pull stuff from mealies meal planning section & populate it into the diary?
This sounds great. How does the device support work? What do you think of GadgetBridge support?
Is the docker image public? I’m getting an “unauthorized” error when attempting to pull it. I’m not getting that error for other ghcr.io images. But I’m not docker expert, so I may be doing something wrong.

Should be fixed now, package was set to private by default on first push. Just flipped it. docker pull ghcr.io/traceapps/nutritrace:latest works without auth now. Thanks for flagging it.
Looks good, so I’ve got it up and running now. Thanks!
Thanks all, really appreciate the kind words. Feedback is welcome on anything: bug reports, missing features, things that feel rough, or just “this works for my setup.” A few features are flagged Experimental right now and I’d like to harden them enough to drop the badge.
Native Android app is in active development. There’s also a sister project in the works called LiftTrace under the same TraceApps umbrella, same self-hosted Docker setup but for workout tracking (sets, reps, programs, PRs). Not public yet but close.
Ooh, I’ll definitely give this a try.
This looks very interesting. I’ll have to load up the container and give it a try at some point in the future. Big fan of the mealie integration since I use that for all my recipes.
