I have a bunch of plain text recipe files on a NAS. If a family member wants to cook something, they ask me to print them a copy.

I’m looking for a simple as possible way to put them on a local web server via a Docker image or similar.

Basically all I need is to have http://recipes.local/ show the list of files, then you can click one to view and or print it.

Don’t want logins. Don’t need ability to edit files. Want something read-only I can set and forget while I continue to manage the content directly on the NAS.

What would you suggest?

Came here to say the same thing. More than OP is asking for, but it's fantastic.

Just used it to import a recipe, tweak it, and then I made it. Big fan of mealie.

I bet it would do a decent job of parsing those text files.
