dbzocchi/menu-generator repository overview

⁠CJ's Menu Generator

Browser-based menu editor and print tool for CJ's Fish & Chips (Filey). Edit menu items and prices with a live A4 split-screen preview, then export print-ready PNGs, PDFs, and multi-pass print layers (UV gloss / greyscale / gold).

⁠Usage

services:
  menu-generator:
    image: dbzocchi/menu-generator:1.0.7
    container_name: menu-generator
    ports:
      - "8080:3000"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/menu-generator:/app/data   # persisted menu.json
    restart: unless-stopped

• Web UI: http://<host>:8080/ — the menu editor with live preview
• Bold print edition: http://<host>:8080/index-print.html — print-hardened styling (solid-ink colours, heavier rules/weights) for dark-stock printing; shares the same saved menu data
• Public viewer: /view.html — read-only menu
• Vector PDF: GET /pdf — server-side A4 PDF via Puppeteer

⁠Data

Menu data persists to /app/data/menu.json (mount it to keep edits across updates). The browser also keeps a localStorage copy as fallback.

⁠Tags

Versioned tags only (1.0.x) — deployments pin an exact version; latest is not maintained. Built from the project Dockerfile via GitHub Actions.
