Untested

Description

Create a DNS record

Go to cPanel and add a new record (e.g. mealie.akdscloud.eu).

Caddy

mealie.akdscloud.eu:443 {
    header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
    reverse_proxy localhost:9000
}

Folders

Create the folder structure.

cd ~/services
mkdir -p mealie/data

Docker

Add the mealie section to your docker-compose.yml file:

  mealie:
    image: ghcr.io/mealie-recipes/mealie:latest
    container_name: mealie
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Bucharest
      - DB_TYPE=sqlite
      - BASE_URL=https://mealie.akdscloud.eu
    ports:
      - 9000:9000
    volumes:
      - ./mealie/data:/app/data
    depends_on:
      - caddy

Download and start mealie:
```
docker compose up -d mealie
```
