GoSƐ is a lightweight, highly configurable HTTP server developed with security in mind. It is written in Go and can be extended using Lua scripting. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GoSƐ on nixOS latest.
Step 1. Open a terminal on your nixOS system
Step 2. Clone the GoSƐ repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/stv0g/gose.git
Step 3. Change directories to the cloned repository:
cd gose
Step 4. Build the GoSƐ executable using the following command:
go build -mod=vendor
Step 5. Run the GoSƐ executable with the default configuration using the following command:
./gose
If everything has been set up correctly, you should see the following output:
Starting server on :8080
Your GoSƐ server is now running and listening on port 8080. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
By default, the GoSƐ server listens on port 8080 and has no additional configuration. However, you can customize the server configuration by creating a configuration file.
Step 1. Create a new file named config.toml in the same directory as the GoSƐ executable.
touch config.toml
Step 2. Open the config.toml file in your favorite text editor and add your configuration options. Here is an example configuration:
[server]
address = ":80"
tls = true
tls_cert_file = "/path/to/cert.pem"
tls_key_file = "/path/to/key.pem"
[logging]
console = true
file = "/var/log/gose.log"
[scripting]
path = "/path/to/scripts"
Step 3. Save the config.toml file and run the GoSƐ executable with the --config flag:
./gose --config config.toml
The server should now be running with your custom configuration.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install GoSƐ on nixOS latest and how to customize its configuration. GoSƐ is a powerful HTTP server that can be customized to fit your unique needs.
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!
