How to Install Mealie on OpenSUSE Latest

Mealie is a self-hosted recipe management system that allows you to add, organize, and search for recipes, along with other features like meal planning and shopping list generation. In this tutorial, we will be installing Mealie on the latest version of OpenSUSE using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure that you have the following installed:

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose

Step 1: Install Docker and Docker Compose

To install Docker and Docker Compose on your OpenSUSE system, run the following command:

$ zypper install docker docker-compose

After installing Docker and Docker Compose, start the Docker service by running the following command:

$ systemctl start docker

Then, enable the Docker service to start automatically upon system boot with the following command:

$ systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Clone Mealie Repository

The next step in the installation process is to clone the Mealie repository from GitHub by running the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie.git

This command will create a directory called mealie in your current working directory containing the Mealie source code.

Step 3: Configure Mealie

Before starting Mealie, you will need to configure it by modifying the docker-compose.yaml file located in the mealie directory. Open the docker-compose.yaml file in your favorite text editor and make the following changes:

  1. ADMIN_PASSWORD: Assign a secure password to the ADMIN_PASSWORD field.

  2. POSTGRES_PASSWORD: Assign a secure password to the POSTGRES_PASSWORD field.

  3. TZ: Set the appropriate timezone for your location by modifying the TZ field.

Step 4: Build and Run Mealie

To build and run Mealie, navigate to the mealie directory and run the following command:

$ docker-compose up -d

This will start building the Mealie container and launch it in detached mode.

Step 5: Access Mealie

Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:9000 to access the Mealie application.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Mealie on OpenSUSE Latest! You can now start adding and organizing your recipes.
