Notes

• Public signup is disabled — accounts must be created by an admin
• Memory capped at 1 GB
• Data is bind-mounted to /home/artanis/DockerFiles/Mealie/data
• OpenAI/LLM integration was previously attempted (commented out in compose) — it was disabled because it was too resource-intensive and caused crashes
