ClearFlask is an open-source self-hosted alternative to popular feedback and support tools like UserVoice, Canny and others. It allows you to collect feedback, bug reports, and feature requests from your users and customers.
This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing ClearFlask on NixOS Latest.
If you haven't installed NixOS yet, you need to do that. You can follow the official installation guide from here.
Once you have installed NixOS successfully, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. You can create and edit the configuration file using your favorite text editor.
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
In the configuration file, add the following lines of code:
services.clearflask = {
enable = true;
port = 8000;
database = {
enable = true;
postgresql = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.postgresql_13;
password = "your_password_here"; # Replace with your postgresql password
};
};
};
Save your configuration file and exit your text editor.
Now you need to update NixOS to include the new configuration. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will rebuild and update your NixOS system with the new configuration.
After the system has been updated, you can test whether ClearFlask is working correctly. Open your web browser and type the following URL:
http://your_server_ip:8000
You should be able to see the ClearFlask login page. Congratulations, you have successfully installed ClearFlask on NixOS Latest!
