How to Install Wekan on NixOS Latest
Introduction
Wekan is an open-source Trello-like kanban board based on the Meteor JavaScript framework. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Wekhan on the latest version of NixOS.
Prerequisites
Before we start the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
- A machine running the latest version of NixOS
- A non-root user
Step 1: Update the System
First, you need to update the package manager and the system using the root user:
sudo su
nix-channel --upgrade
nixos-rebuild switch
Step 2: Install Wekan
To install Wekan, you need to add the Wekan channel to the Nix package manager with the following command:
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/Itms/itms-obs/archive/master.tar.gz wekan
sudo nix-channel --update
After adding the Wekan channel, you can now proceed with the installation of the wekan package:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.wekan
Step 3: Configure Wekan
The next step is to create a configuration file for Wekan. You can create the file anywhere you want, but for this tutorial, we will use the /etc/wekan.conf file.
sudo vi /etc/wekan.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
PORT=80
MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/wekan
You can customize the PORT and MONGO_URL settings according to your requirements.
Step 4: Start Wekan
After configuring Wekan, you can now start the service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start wekan
You can verify that the service is running by checking its status with the command:
sudo systemctl status wekan
Step 5: Access Wekan
Finally, you can access the Wekan dashboard by opening your web browser and navigating to your server's IP address on port 80:
http://<SERVER_IP>:80/
You will now be taken to the Wekan login page. By default, the username is admin and the password is admin.
Conclusion
