GrocyWhat you're getting
Grocy is an open source groceries and household manager. It keeps track of what is in your fridge, freezer and cupboards, with due dates, prices and locations, tells you what to use up next, and keeps a shopping list that fills itself when you run low on the things you always want at home.
Recipes show at a glance what you can cook from what you have and put the missing ingredients on the list, the meal plan turns a week of recipes into one shopping trip, and chores, tasks, batteries and the manuals of your household equipment live in the same place. Barcodes can be scanned with a USB scanner or your phone camera, and unknown ones looked up on Open Food Facts.
On CoreHost, Grocy runs on its own managed instance in Sydney or Poland. Sign in is always required: your instance starts with one owner account and a password generated for it, the default admin/admin account never exists, and the settings that would switch sign in off are fixed. We handle the server, TLS, updates and daily backups.
Grocy is an independent open source project. CoreHost runs the official release and is not affiliated with it.

Moving to CoreHostMove your existing Grocy here
Already running Grocy on PikaPods, a VPS or your own server? You can bring your data with you. Deploy the app here first, then follow the route below, and keep your old app until you are happy.
Tell us what you are moving
Tell us which app you are moving and where it runs now, and we will say whether it can be moved by copying files, with the app's own export, or whether starting fresh is simpler.
Ways to move it
- Do it yourself. Deploy Grocy, let it start once, then use the steps on this page, with SFTP and the file manager in the Files tab. A backup taken first gives you a clean point to go back to.
- Ask us to move it. Open a ticket from your control panel with the app and where it runs now. Support will tell you what can be moved and help you do it, and nobody touches your old app.
Coming from PikaPods? Switch on SFTP in the pod's settings, stop the pod and copy its files; PikaPods documents this as its manual backup for migrations.
