In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of BitcartCC, a self-hosted open-source shopping cart system, on nixOS latest.
Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure that:
Before installing any software or packages, update your system by running the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command updates your nixOS system to the latest version.
BitcartCC requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.openssl nixpkgs.python37
This command installs OpenSSL and Python 3.7 on your system.
Now we are ready to download BitcartCC. You can download the BitcartCC package using the following command:
wget https://github.com/bitcartcc/bitcart/releases/download/0.5.2/bitcart-0.5.2.tar.gz
This command will download the BitcartCC package to your current directory.
After downloading the BitcartCC package, extract it by running the following command:
tar -xzf bitcart-0.5.2.tar.gz
This command extracts the BitcartCC package into a new directory named bitcart-0.5.2
. Move into this directory by running the following command:
cd bitcart-0.5.2
Run the following command to install BitcartCC:
python setup.py install
This command will install BitcartCC on your system.
Once you have installed BitcartCC, you need to configure it. To do this, create a new configuration file named bitcart.yml
:
touch bitcart.yml
Open the configuration file in a text editor:
nano bitcart.yml
Add the following content to the configuration file:
bitcoin:
rpc:
host: "127.0.0.1"
port: 8332
username: "your_bitcoin_username"
password: "your_bitcoin_password"
Replace your_bitcoin_username
and your_bitcoin_password
with your actual Bitcoin username and password.
Run the following command to start BitcartCC:
bitcart start
This command starts the BitcartCC server. You can now access the BitcartCC dashboard by visiting http://localhost:8000/
in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install BitcartCC on nixOS latest. You can now start using BitcartCC as your self-hosted shopping cart system.
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!
