Installing with SQLite

Warning

If you're planning on deploying and using Network Attached Storage with Mealie, you should use Postgres instead of SQLite. SQLite is not designed to be used with Network Attached Storage and can cause data corruption, or locked database errors

SQLite is a popular, open source, self-contained, zero-configuration database that is the ideal choice for Mealie when you have 1-20 Users. Below is a ready to use docker-compose.yaml file for deploying Mealie on your server.

For Environment Variable Configuration, see Backend Configuration
