Suggestions for selfhosted recipe manager? (self.selfhosted)

I like to cook, and for that I need a place where I can keep all my recipes. I'm currently using the app My Recipe Box. But it's closed source and full of ads. While the pro version is pretty cheap, I wanted to see if there were any open source apps for this.

Selfhosted apps will be nice. I'm fine with web access and no native app as well. If not selfhosted, I can also manage with open source apps with automatic backup of some sort.

The only feature that I really need is recipe scraping. Thanks for all your suggestions.

I’ve been using Tandoor Recipes for a week now, here’s how I use it and why I chose it:

Scraping recipes, I usually find a recipe I want to try on Pinterest or any other site then paste the link and it fetches the recipe without the authors life story.
Serving size adjustments, it basically allows me to scale up and down recipes as I like.
The Meal Plan feature is nice for planning ahead and sharing it.
The search function is awesome.
I imported all of my recipes from Copy Me That without any issues.
comments on the recipe, unit adjustments, tags, auto cookbook creation, and others.

My first option RecipeSage, tried running it in LXC container with docker but had two issues:

It won’t run in an Unprivileged Container.
During install it ate up all the 32gb I allocated and it wasn’t enough for it.
