#Installation

#Getting started

Requirements:

• a VPS
• Docker and Docker Compose (see here for how to install on Ubuntu)

#1. Configure DNS

Configure DNS records to point to your VPS. You should configure both the main and wildcard domains. Assuming your VPS's IP is 1.2.3.4:

meli.company.com IN A 1.2.3.4
*.meli.company.com IN A 1.2.3.4

#2. Deploy Meli on your VPS

1. Create a file named docker-compose.yml anywhere you want:

   version: "3"
   
   services:
   
     meli:
       image: getmeli/meli:beta
       ports:
         - 80:80
         - 443:443
       environment:
         # no trailing slash !
         MELI_URL: https://meli.company.com
         MELI_MONGO_URI: mongodb://mongo:27017/meli
         # openssl rand -hex 32
         MELI_JWT_SECRET: changeMe
         # https://docs.meli.sh/authentication
         MELI_USER: user
         MELI_PASSWORD: changeMe
       volumes:
         - ./data/sites:/sites
         - ./data/caddy/data:/data
         - ./data/caddy/config:/config
       depends_on:
         - mongo
   
     mongo:
       image: mongo:4.2-bionic
       restart: unless-stopped
       volumes:
         - ./data/mongo:/data/db

   To prevent your users from creating organizations, we set MELI_MAX_ORGS to 1 by default. You can disable this by setting MELI_MAX_ORGS=0.

2. Run docker-compose up -d
3. Browse at meli.company.com, and you should see the login page
