BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade backup system that provides a backup solution for various types of data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install BackupPC on nixOS latest.
Before starting with the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, open a terminal window in your nixOS latest machine.
Update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages installed on your machine. You can update the system using the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Install BackupPC by running the following command:
sudo nix-env -i backuppc
Once the installation process is complete, you can start the BackupPC service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start backuppc
By default, BackupPC listens to port 80. To access the web interface, open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://<your-server-ip>/backuppc
where <your-server-ip> is the IP address of your nixOS machine.
You can also enable the BackupPC service to start automatically at system boot using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable backuppc
That’s it! You have successfully installed and configured BackupPC on your nixOS latest machine. You can now use BackupPC to backup your data and ensure that your data is secure and easily recoverable in case of a disaster.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
