How to Install Our Shopping List on nixOS Latest

Our Shopping List is a free and open-source web application that helps you organize your shopping lists. It's built on top of the Django web framework and allows you to create and share shopping lists with your family and friends.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Our Shopping List on nixOS Latest using the Nix package manager.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running instance of nixOS Latest
• A terminal with root privileges
• A web browser to test the installation

Step 1: Clone the Our Shopping List Repository

First, open the terminal on your nixOS Latest server and clone the Our Shopping List repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list.git

This will create a new directory called our-shopping-list that contains the project files.

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

Our Shopping List requires several dependencies to run. To install them, create a new file called default.nix in the our-shopping-list directory:

nano our-shopping-list/default.nix

Then, add the following content to the file:

{ stdenv, python37Packages }:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "our-shopping-list-env";
  src = ./.;
  
  buildInputs = [
    python37Packages.pip
    python37Packages.setuptools
    python37Packages.wheel
    python37Packages.django
    python37Packages.docker-cookies
  ];
}

Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X.

Now, run the following command to build the package and install the dependencies:

nix-shell

This will create a new Python environment with the required dependencies installed.

Step 3: Setup the Database

Our Shopping List uses SQLite as its default database backend. To create the initial database, run the following command:

python3 manage.py migrate

This will create the necessary tables and relations in the SQLite database.

Step 4: Run the Application

Finally, start the development server by running the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver

This will start the server on http://localhost:8000/. You can now view the application by opening a web browser and navigating to the above URL.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Our Shopping List on nixOS Latest! You can now start creating and sharing shopping lists with your family and friends.
