☁ Meilisearch tools for the Cloud ☁

⚠️ We are no longer maintaining or publishing the official Meilisearch one-click deploy images on AWS Marketplace and DigitalOcean Marketplace.

If you are currently using these images, to keep receiving the latest features and updates:

• You can either deploy Meilisearch yourself (Docker, binary, or Helm chart)
• Or use Meilisearch Cloud, which offers flexible pricing (resource-based or usage-based). With Meilisearch Cloud, deployment and scaling are fully managed, and updates are applied automatically — making it the easiest way to always stay up to date.

:arrow_right: For larger companies or teams with specific needs (including migration support), you can book a meeting with our sales team at sales@meilisearch.com.

:bulb: If you are running Meilisearch on your own infrastructure but need support for specific features, we also offer commercial licenses. Contact us to learn more at sales@meilisearch.com.

:envelope_with_arrow: If you wish to maintain an official image of Meilisearch on AWS or DigitalOcean, please reach out at bonjour@meilisearch.com — we’ll be happy to accommodate. This repository is now archived and will no longer receive updates.

These Packer build configurations are used primarily by the Meilisearch integration team, aiming to provide our users simple ways to deploy and configure Meilisearch in the cloud by creating ready-made images of Meilisearch. As our heart resides in the open-source community, we maintain several of these tools as open-source repositories.
