Meilisearch on Homestead

I'm trying to understand how to access the Meilisearch UI that was configured in the Homesteal.yaml file.

features:
    - mysql: true
    - ohmyzsh: true
    - meilisearch: true
...
ports:
    - send: 7700
      to: 7700

I installed Meilisearch on the Vagrant machine using curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh, ran vagrant provision and tried accessing from my host machine from 192.168.56.56:7700 and I get a message in the browser "This site can’t be reached"

@ncamm If you are still having this issue, then there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Check that the Meilisearch service is running on your Vagrant machine. You can do this by connecting to the Vagrant machine via SSH and running systemctl status meilisearch.

  2. Check that the Meilisearch UI is configured to listen on the correct host and port. You can check the Meilisearch configuration file at /etc/meilisearch/meilisearch.yml. Make sure that the bind and port values are set to 0.0.0.0 and 7700, respectively.

  3. Check that the port forwarding configuration in your Homestead.yaml file is correct. Make sure that the send and to values for the ports entry are set to 7700 and 7700, respectively.

  4. Restart the Meilisearch service and the Vagrant machine to apply the changes.
