Meilisearch

Deploy a Meilisearch instance on Disco​

Start by forking the Meilisearch Disco Sample repo on GitHub.

Login to the Disco web interface to see your list of instances. If you don't have an instance yet, follow the instructions to create one.

List of Disco instances

Click your instance. Then, click "New project" in the upper-right corner.

New project button

Next, fill out the form:

  • Give this project a name such as meilisearch
  • Set the domain name for your Meilisearch instance. This domain should be pointing to your Disco instance (e.g. meilisearch.example.com)
  • Select the GitHub repository you forked earlier. If you need to give Disco access to this repository, click the "Manage your GitHub repositories" link.
  • Finally, click "Add New Variable". The name of the variable should be MEILI_MASTER_KEY and the value should be a strong key to secure your Meilisearch instance.

New project form

Click "Add Project" to create the project.

Next Steps​

Fetch the API keys for your Meilisearch instance by making a curl call to your instance:

curl \
  -X GET 'https://MEILISEARCH_DOMAIN/keys' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer MASTER_KEY'

Replace MEILISEARCH_DOMAIN with your domain name and MASTER_KEY with the key you set when creating the project.

You should get back a list of your Meilisearch instance API keys. Using these, you can create and manage your indexes, documents, and settings.
