playbook to create an instance of mealie without using docker

#mealie ansible playbook

The files below are what I used to create an instance of mealie without having to use docker. It uses Ubuntu 20.04 as the OS. 

Don't expect the ansible playbook to work via copy and paste, you'll need to edit it according to your setup. 
This is just an example of the steps required. 

Caddyfile

{
        auto_https off
        admin off
}

        @proxied path /api/* /docs /openapi.json

        @static {
                file
                path *.ico *.css *.js *.gif *.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.svg *.woff *.woff2 *.webp
        }

        # Handles Recipe Images / Assets
        handle_path /api/media/recipes/* {
                header @static Cache-Control max-age=31536000
                root * /app/data/recipes/
                file_server
        }

        handle @proxied {
                uri strip_suffix /
                reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:9000
        }

        handle {
                header @static Cache-Control max-age=31536000
                root * /opt/mealie/frontend/dist
                try_files {path}.html {path} /
                file_server
        }
}
