Database Setup and Upgrade

The migrate CLI command is essential for setting up and maintaining your Meh installation:

./meh migrate

This command:

1. Creates a new SQLite database for your site if it doesn't exist yet
2. Applies any pending database schema migrations to keep your database structure up-to-date
3. Generates a secure JWT secret if one doesn't exist

You should run this command:

• When first setting up Meh
• After updating to a new version of Meh
• When creating a new site in a multi-site setup (with the --site parameter)

For multi-site setups, specify the site name:

./meh --site blog2 migrate

It is important to run this command for each of your sites when upgrading to a new version of Meh.
