MOVE DATABASE TO LAPTOP COMUTER OR

Hi!

The recipes are stored in a SQLite database, so you cannot just simply copy them onto another computer.
However, you could export them and re-import them into another installation of Gourmet.

AFAIK, there is no Gourmet-app for tablet - but correct me if I'm wrong; I'd be interested too.

Another solution - which takes some IT skills and a more elaborate infrastructure, is to have all the recipes stored in a single central database on (for example) a server. I have set it up this way and my recipes are stored in a central MySQL database. I'll happily tell you more if you'd like to.

I put mine into a dropbox folder and can easily share it across different
computers.

A sqlite database is just a file, so you can copy it from one computer to
another fwiw.

Sorry that I reply that late to this thread .. but I only discovered Gourmet some weeks ago.

I tried to use the --database-url parameter to point Gourmet (0.17.4) to a MySQL DB on a different server.
However I get an error message which ends with 'ImportError: No module named MySQLdb'.

After some googeling, I guess, I would need to add the MySQL adapter to SQLAlchemy and recompile Gourmet.
Is this correct? Or is there a way to add the MySQL adapter to a compiled version?

I'm trying to use Gourmet on Windows machines and failed to recompile it from the source code :(

Many thanks

Hi Max; I have that setup in Ubuntu 16.04. Please share your OS where you are trying to get this running. If it is a Linux distribution, I can help.

Thanks Harald, the DB server is Linux (Raspbian) but that's not the issue, I guess.

The client, i.e. Gourmet should run on 'Windows 10' machines - and recompiling Gourmet 0.17.4 for Windows is pretty hard, esp. if you don't have your machine setup for development ...
