Where Does Tandoor Store Recipes?
Tandoor keeps recipes, media and config in Docker volumes on Linux. Which binds must persist and migrate.
Last updated
Tandoor organizes recipes in a database with food images in a media volume and settings near the compose setup. The database tracks it all while volumes hold the bytes.
Docker is the normal deploy, so host paths depend on volume binds. Environment files decide secrets and storage roots, which means two installs rarely share literal paths. Read the compose file first on any unfamiliar box.
Where Tandoor stores this, by platform
/opt/tandoor/mediafiles/
Recipes database plus media images and config; exact internal names may vary by Tandoor version. Persist all three volumes. Confirm against the compose file before scripting backups.
Frequently asked questions
Which Tandoor folders must persist?
Persist the media, database and config volumes before first run (see the compose file). Without them, recipes and images vanish on container replace. Back up the database plus media together as one set.
How do I migrate Tandoor?
Copy media, database and config to the new host with a matching Tandoor version, keeping environment files alongside. Reindex after the move. Exact internal names may vary by release.
