    image: ghcr.io/flohoss/mittagskarte:latest
    container_name: mittagskarte
    restart: always

How It Works

Mittagskarte fetches restaurant menus and converts them into fast-loading webp images.

Key features:

• Downloads menus in PDF or image formats
• Scrapes menus from HTML pages
• Converts menus to webp, reducing images wider than 1920px
• Updates menus automatically based on a cron schedule

---

Configuration

See config/config.yaml for a full example.

Key Fields

Key	Description
api_token	Required if a restaurant has no parse section. Used to upload a menu image manually.
impressum	Show legal info on the page (enabled: true) with responsible name and email.
log_level	Logging verbosity (debug, info, warn, error)
meta.title	Website title
meta.description	Suffix for the HTML description. Full HTML <meta> description = {meta.title} - {meta.description}
meta.social	Array of social media links (optional)
restaurants	Dictionary of restaurants
server.address	Host to bind (0.0.0.0 for all interfaces)
server.port	Port to serve the app
time_zone	Used for scheduling updates
umami_analytics	Optional analytics integration (enabled, domain, websiteid)

Notes:

• Only name and url are strictly required for each restaurant.
• If parse is empty, api_token must be set.
• Menus are automatically resized to a maximum width of 1920px.

Examples

Direct PDF download

parse:
  update_cron: "30 9,10 * * 1,3"
  direct_download: "https://davvero-stuttgart.de/download/mittagskarte.pdf"
  file_type: "pdf"

Image download via CSS selector

parse:
  update_cron: "30 9,10 * * 1,2"
  navigate:
    - locator: ".et_pb_image_1 > span:nth-child(1) > img:nth-child(1)"
      attribute: "src"
  file_type: "image"

HTML scraping

parse:
  update_cron: "30 9,10 * * 1,4"
  navigate:
    - locator: "p.paragraph-mittagstisch-right-corona"
      style: ".w-nav { display: none !important; }"

PDF link via XPath

parse:
  update_cron: "30 9,10 1-3 * *"
  navigate:
    - locator: "//a[contains(text(), 'Mittagstisch')]"
  file_type: "pdf"

All navigate steps use:

- locator: "<CSS or XPath selector>"
  attribute: "<optional HTML attribute to fetch>"
  style: "<optional CSS to hide unwanted elements>"

Dynamic Dates in Selectors

Use {{date(...)}} to match menus dynamically.

Argument	Description
format	Go time format (e.g., 02.01.2006, Jan)
lang	Language (en, de). Defaults to en
day	Weekday to adjust to (monday, tuesday, etc.)
offset	Number of weeks to shift (-1 last week, 0 this week, 1 next week)
upper	Convert output to uppercase

Example:

"locator": "//div[@class='calendar']//span[text()='{{date(format=02.01.2006, day=fr, offset=-1)}}']"

Thumbnails

You can add custom thumbnails for restaurants to be displayed in the app.

How to Add Thumbnails

1. Folder: Place your thumbnails inside the config/thumbnails directory.

2. File Name: Name the thumbnail file exactly like the restaurant key in your restaurants section, with a .webp extension.

   • Example: For the restaurant key sw34, the thumbnail must be:

     config/thumbnails/sw34.webp
     

3. Format: Only WebP format is supported.

Usage

The app automatically uses the thumbnail for a restaurant:

background-image: url(/thumbnails/<restaurant_key>.webp);

Example with sw34:

background-image: url(/thumbnails/sw34.webp);

Note: WebP is required. You can convert images online using https://mazanoke.y8o.de/.
