This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing ICEcoder on nixOS. ICEcoder is a web-based code editor that allows you to code and edit files directly from your web browser.
Make sure you have a nixOS system set up and running. You can download and install nixOS from the official website https://nixos.org/.
ICEcoder is available as a Nix package, which means you can install it using the nix package manager. Here's how to install it:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.icecoder
Once ICEcoder is installed, you need to configure it. Here's how:
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080.
You should see the ICEcoder welcome screen. Click the Settings button in the bottom left-hand corner.
In the settings menu, select the General Settings tab. Here, you can configure your ICEcoder preferences, such as your default theme, line numbers, and mouse scrolling.
Next, select the Users & Security tab. Here, you can set up user accounts and passwords to secure your ICEcoder installation.
Finally, select the Server Settings tab. Here, you can configure your ICEcoder server settings, such as your root directory, file permission settings, and debug options.
Once ICEcoder is installed and configured, you can start using it to edit your files. Here's how:
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080.
You should see the ICEcoder welcome screen. Click the Open File button to open a file.
Navigate to the folder where your files are stored and select the file you want to edit.
ICEcoder will open the file in the editor. You can start editing the file right away.
When you're finished editing the file, click the Save button to save your changes.
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!
