Installing Fusio on NixOS Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fusio on NixOS Latest.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of NixOS Latest
• Basic knowledge of the command-line interface

Installing Fusio

1. Install PHP

Fusio requires PHP in order to function. The easiest way to install PHP on NixOS is by using the Nix package manager:

$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.php

2. Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. Fusio uses Composer to manage its dependencies. To install Composer, run:

$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.composer

3. Download and extract the Fusio files

Download the latest version of Fusio from the official website:

$ sudo wget https://github.com/apioo/fusio/releases/download/v1.8.0/fusio-1.8.0.phar -O /var/www/fusio.phar

Make the Fusio file executable:

$ sudo chmod +x /var/www/fusio.phar

4. Create a Fusio database

Fusio requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we'll be using MySQL as our database management system.

Install MySQL using the Nix package manager:

$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.mysql

Start the MySQL service:

$ sudo systemctl start mysql

Create a Fusio database:

$ sudo mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE fusio;"

5. Configure Fusio

Create a Fusio configuration file:

$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/fusio/
$ sudo nano /etc/fusio/config.yml

Paste the following configuration into the file, replacing DATABASE_USERNAME and DATABASE_PASSWORD with your MySQL username and password:

database:
    driver: pdo_mysql
    host: localhost
    dbname: fusio
    user: DATABASE_USERNAME
    password: DATABASE_PASSWORD
    options:
        1002: "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'"

Save the file.

6. Start Fusio

Start the Fusio service:

$ sudo /var/www/fusio.phar service:start

7. Access Fusio

You can now access Fusio by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
