How to Install Drupal Commerce on nixOS Latest

Drupal Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform built on Drupal, the popular web development framework. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Drupal Commerce on nixOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1 - Install Drupal Commerce

First, you need to install Drupal Commerce on nixOS using the following command:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.drupal-commerce

Step 2 - Configure Drupal Commerce

Once Drupal Commerce is installed, you need to configure it to suit your needs. You can do this by editing the configuration files located in the /etc/nixos directory. For example, if you want to change the default configuration of Drupal Commerce, you can create a config.nix file in the /etc/nixos directory and configure it accordingly.

Here is an example configuration for Drupal Commerce:

services.httpd = {
  enable = true;
  adminAddr = "admin@example.com";
  virtualHosts."example.com" = {
    locations."/".proxyPass = "http://localhost:8080";
  };
};

services.drupal-commerce = {
  enable = true;
  database = {
    name = "drupal_commerce";
    user = "drupal";
    password = "password";
    host = "localhost";
  };
};

This configuration enables the httpd and drupal-commerce services, specifies the email address of the administrator, sets up a virtual host for example.com, and configures the database for Drupal Commerce.

Step 3 - Start Drupal Commerce

Finally, you need to start Drupal Commerce:

sudo systemctl start drupal-commerce
