Hi @joseph thanks for helping. It worked indeed: export OPENAI_API_KEY=xx in the app/data/env.sh fix the openAI connection.

@girish I was using Tandoor before but I switched to Mealie. The UI is much better, the application has less bug and the OpenAI integration is amazing. I haven't found a single thing that Tandoor does better than Mealie

I haven’t spend a lot of time in tandoor, but I really find the ui unappealing. Also an interesting side fact: you can connect self hosted LLMs as long as they support the open ai api. It’s also mentioned in the docs.

We tried this a while ago but haven't figured it out yet - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/mealie-app/-/tree/oidc (oidc branch)

Yes resolved, thank you for the correction.

The validation code seems to be at https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/blob/8d79773bf65eb6bfd9021963324d53a25aab3cde/mealie/routes/admin/admin_about.py#L62 however I don't quite understand what it tries to check here. I don't think this is relevant on Cloudron though.
