Overview

Your Personal Spirits Guide Whisky Wise is a lightweight, containerized personal assistant for spirits enthusiasts. Whether you're tracking a growing collection or cataloging the nuance of a rare Islay peat, Whisky Wise provides a clean, distraction-free interface to manage your journey through the world of whisky. Tip: Set a persistent SECRET_KEY in the container variables — if left empty/change-this-to-a-long-random-secret, a random key is generated at startup and sessions will not survive a container restart. Android App: A native Android companion app is available that connects directly to your WhiskyWise instance via the built-in REST API. Find it at github.com/prolife86/WhiskyWise-app. Requires server v1.5.4 or later.
