Do you use docker for anything else self hosted? You should give it a try. I literally had not heard of grocy till I read your post but I self host other things with docker. I googled them, visited their github looked at their docker instructions - theirs downloading a docker compose file and lsio’s which gave a run option rather than compose.
I pulled up an ssh to my server from my phone and literally entered the run command from here just modified to have my preferred storage path.
docker run -d \ --name=grocy \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -p 9283:80 \ -v ~/.config/grocy:/config \ --restart unless-stopped \ lscr.io/linuxserver/grocy:latest``` I then opened my browser to http://ip:9283 and was prompted with a username and password. I googled and found out the default is admin/admin. I now have grocy temporarily running on my server. If I want to run it permanently I'd include it in my existing docker-compose stack or create a new one with just it in it. I understand it's frustrating and you may not want to use grocy after all and someone might have a good alternative, but getting to terms with docker will make your self hosting life much easier - it took me longer to type this post than it took me to get grocy up and running with docker.
You could look at the awesome-selfhosted list, specifically these two sections:
awesome-selfhosted.net/…/recipe-management.html
awesome-selfhosted.net/…/task-management--to-do-l…
I don’t have any experience with any of those, but there might be something that fits your needs.
It seems it’s for recipes only

I remember Grocy being pretty easy to setup with Docker. Just set up your compose file and start it up.
Grocy already lets you add expiration dates and non-food items.
