Using Meilisearch with Laravel Sail

When running Meilisearch through Sail, your MEILISEARCH_HOST should follow the http://meilisearch:port form (instead of localhost:port.) However, your front-end application expect the real URL to your Meilisearch instant.

This means that when running Meilisearch locally with Sail, your .env file will look like:

# This is the URL used by Laravel to access Meilisearch
MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://meilisearch:7700

# This is the URL used by JavaScript to access Meilisearch
VITE_MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://localhost:7700

See Sail documentation.

Instructions

Setup your Meilisearch settings by running:

artisan scout:sync-index-settings

Seed the database:

artisan migrate:fresh --seed
