MealGoGo Self-host Quick Start

Use this folder when you want to run MealGoGo from prebuilt Docker images on Docker Hub.

1) Copy environment file

Linux/macOS:

cp .env.example .env

Windows PowerShell:

Copy-Item .env.example .env

2) Start with one command

docker compose up -d

That command will start:

• MealGoGo app (markdatcode/mealgogo:latest)
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• Playwright browser service
• MinIO + bucket bootstrap

Playwright in this setup is used for browser-based verification (for example, validating rendered pages/workflows), not for crawling food data.

Notes

• Default app URL: http://localhost:8082
• Default PostgreSQL credentials: mealgogo / StrongP@ssw0rd!
• MinIO API: http://localhost:9000 (S3 endpoint)
• MinIO Console: http://localhost:9001
• Default MinIO credentials: minioadmin / minioadmin
• If this is for production, change JWT_SECRET and database credentials in .env first.
• To stop: docker compose down
