This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Bolt from https://puppet.com/products/bolt on the latest version of NixOS.
sudo nix-env -i bolt
This will install Bolt and all its dependencies on your system.
bolt --version
This should display the version of Bolt that you have installed on your system.
ls -l /etc/puppetlabs/bolt
You should see a file named inventory.yaml
.
~/.puppetlabs/bolt/bolt.yaml
file with the following contents:---
modulepath: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules:/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules
/etc/puppetlabs/bolt/inventory.yaml
. You can use the following example as a template:---
nodes:
- name: localhost
config:
transport: local
bolt command run <command> --nodes localhost
Replace <command>
with the command you want to run.
bolt task run <task_name> --nodes localhost
Replace <task_name>
with the name of the task you want to run.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Bolt on NixOS! You can now use Bolt to manage your systems using the command line.
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!
