Running mealie from docker-compose - getting started with docker

Quick-start guide:

1. Set up raspberry pi with raspbian OS or Ubuntu server (64-bit)

• Ubuntu server is recommended, but raspian OS is more supported if problems occur.
  • Raspbian: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/
    • Detailed guide: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/raspberry-pi-setting-up
  • Ubuntu server: https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi
  • If headless install (no keyboard/mouse/monitor), see headless raspberry pi guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/headless.md

2. Connect to Raspberry Pi using keyboard/mouse or ssh
3. Install git and docker-compose, and start docker

• Open up terminal, or via ssh:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git docker-compose
sudo systemctl start docker

4. Download this repository

git clone https://github.com/conrad82/docker-mealie.git

5. Run the service

cd docker-mealie
sudo docker-compose up

If you want it to run in the background (daemon), use command sudo docker-compose up -d instead.

6. Test the service

• Open up browser
• Go to http://raspberry-pi-ip:9000
  • If you are running locally, you can also use address http://localhost:9000

7. Finished! Documentation for Mealie can be found here: https://hay-kot.github.io/mealie/

Info

• To run via ssh, you must find the raspberry pi ip address
  • usually by logging on to router and looking for connected ip's.
  • it may be possible to use address raspberrypi or raspberrypi.local , depending on your router DHCP server.
• The docker container settings are shown in docker-compose.yml.
  • More details about docker-compose can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/
• Headless Ubuntu wifi on first install
  • In system-boot partition:
    • create empty file ssh on install disk
    • edit the network-config file to add your Wi-Fi credentials. An example is already included in the file, you can simply adapt it.
