Mealie is a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner that can simplify your cooking experience. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Mealie on your Linux Mint computer.
Before we begin, please make sure you have the following:
Mealie requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed on your Linux Mint computer. To install Docker, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install docker.io
Next, install Docker Compose by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install docker-compose
Now, let's clone the Mealie repository from Github by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie.git
Mealie requires a configuration file to be created before it can be run. Make a copy of the example configuration file included with the repository by running:
cp mealie/config.example.yaml mealie/config.yaml
Open up the config.yaml file in a text editor of your choice and make the necessary changes.
Now that everything is set up, let's start the Mealie server by running the following command:
cd mealie
sudo docker-compose up -d
You can now access Mealie by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:9002.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mealie on your Linux Mint computer. It's now time to start adding your favorite recipes and planning your meals. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
