Open Food Network on Ubuntu 24.04
Azure
E-commerce
Open Food Network, an online marketplace platform that connects local food producers, hubs and buying groups so communities can trade, distribute and shop regional food.
Overview
Open Food Network is an open source marketplace and logistics platform for short, local food supply chains. Producers, food hubs, co-ops and buying groups list their products, set their own prices, delivery windows and pickup points, and open order cycles that let shoppers browse and buy from one or many nearby suppliers in a single order. Enterprises manage their own catalogue, inventory, fees, tax and shipping, while hubs can aggregate produce from multiple growers and coordinate distribution.
Built on Ruby on Rails with a full storefront and an admin back office, it gives regional food networks the tooling of a modern e-commerce platform without locking them into a centralised marketplace. It is used by food sovereignty and local-food organisations around the world to shorten the distance between growers and eaters.
Why the cloudimg image
The cloudimg image is a migrated, seeded appliance: it boots with a demo enterprise and producer catalogue so the storefront renders immediately, and on first boot it rotates every credential (a per-VM admin account, database password, and an HTTP Basic-Auth layer) and generates a self-signed TLS certificate unique to the VM, with nothing guessable baked in. Puma, Sidekiq, PostgreSQL and Redis are pre-wired on the box behind nginx, so there is nothing to assemble. Each image ships with a paired step by step deployment guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- Launching a local food hub or producer co-op storefront with order cycles and pickup points
- Running a regional buying group that aggregates produce from multiple growers
- Evaluating a self-hosted, open source alternative to centralised food marketplaces
