This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Bytebase on nixOS Latest. Bytebase is a collaborative SQL database management tool designed for teams. Follow the steps below to install Bytebase on your nixOS Latest system.
Make sure your nixOS system is up to date by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update your system with the latest patches and security fixes.
Bytebase runs on Docker, so you need to install Docker on your nixOS system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.docker
This command will install Docker on your nixOS system.
Create a directory where you will store the Bytebase files. You can choose any name for this directory. Here, we will use "bytebase".
sudo mkdir /opt/bytebase
Clone the Bytebase repository from GitHub using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase.git /opt/bytebase
Next, you need to configure Bytebase on your nixOS system. The configuration file for Bytebase is located at /opt/bytebase/prod.docker-compose.yml.
Open this file using your favorite text editor as sudo:
sudo vim /opt/bytebase/prod.docker-compose.yml
In this file, you need to set a few values. First, set the external URL of your Bytebase instance by replacing example.com in the server_name field with your server's domain name or IP address:
server_name: example.com
Next, set the database username and password. You can choose any username and password you like. We will set the username as "bytebase" and the password as "password". Replace the "bytebase" and "password" in the DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD fields, respectively:
DB_USER: bytebase
DB_PASSWORD: password
Finally, set the volume path to the directory you created in step 3. Replace /opt/bytebase/data with your directory path:
volumes:
- /opt/bytebase/data:/data
Save and close the file.
Now you can start the Bytebase Docker container using the following command:
sudo docker-compose -f /opt/bytebase/prod.docker-compose.yml up -d
This command will start the Bytebase container in the background. You can check the status of the container by running the following command:
sudo docker ps
If the container is running, you should see its status as "Up".
Finally, you can access the Bytebase web interface through your web browser by navigating to the external URL you set in step 5. For example, if you set the server_name as myserver.com, you can access Bytebase web interface by navigating to https://myserver.com.
When you first visit the web interface, you will be prompted to create an admin account. Follow the on-screen instructions to create an admin account and start using Bytebase.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Bytebase on nixOS Latest!
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!
