In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Cloud Foundry on NixOS latest.
Cloud Foundry is an open-source cloud platform that helps in deploying and running scalable applications in a multi-cloud environment.
The first step to installing Cloud Foundry on NixOS is to install its CLI, which is a command-line interface used to interact with the Cloud Foundry platform.
You can do this by running the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.cloudfoundry-cli
This command will download, install and configure the Cloud Foundry CLI on your system.
Next, we need to install Cloud Foundry on our system. To do this, add the following line to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:
services.cloudfoundry.enable = true;
Once you have added this line, save and close the file, and run the following command:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will download and install Cloud Foundry on your system.
To verify that Cloud Foundry has been successfully installed, run the following command to make sure it has started successfully:
$ sudo systemctl status cloudfoundry
You should see output that confirms that Cloud Foundry has been started and is running.
Now that Cloud Foundry has been installed, you can log in to it using the Cloud Foundry CLI.
Run the following command to log in to Cloud Foundry:
$ cf login
You will be prompted to enter your email address and password. Once you have entered these details, you will be logged in to Cloud Foundry.
Congratulations, you have now installed Cloud Foundry on NixOS and logged in to the platform using the CLI. You can now use Cloud Foundry to deploy and run scalable applications in a multi-cloud environment.
