Install MeiliSearch on Forge servers
Raw
meilisearch-forge.md

Although MeiliSearch offers steps to install via apt, there are some dependency libraries that are not installable on the server architecture we have availble on our Tighten Forge servers. However, the servers can run the program just fine with the binary. Here are the steps I took to make it work.

Download the stable release

curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh

Change the ownership and modify permissions

chmod 755 meilisearch chown root:root meilisearch

Move the binary to a system-wide available path

sudo mv meilisearch /usr/bin/

Run the binary and monitor it for long runtimes within Forge

In the Forge Dashboard, click on "Daemons" under "Server Details". Fill out the following for a new daemon:

Command: meilisearch --master-key=SOME_MASTER_KEY --env=production --http-addr 0.0.0.0:7700 --db-path ./home/forge/meilifiles User: forge Directory: leave blank Processes: 1
