Kerberos.io is an intelligent video surveillance system, and in this tutorial, we will explain how to install it on nixOS Latest.
Before installing Kerberos.io, we need to install Nix, a package manager for nixOS.
To install Nix, open a terminal and type the following command:
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
We need to update the system configuration by adding the following lines to the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:
# Kerberos.io
services.kerberosio.enable = true;
services.kerberosio.port = 8888;
These lines will enable Kerberos.io and set its port to 8888.
After making modifications to the configuration file, we need to build the system by running the following command:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
To start Kerberos.io, run the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start kerberosio.service
To enable Kerberos.io to start automatically on boot, run the following command:
$ sudo systemctl enable kerberosio.service
After installing Kerberos.io, we need to configure our web server (ex: Nginx or Apache) as a reverse proxy to Kerberos.io.
To install Nginx, open a terminal and type the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -i nginx
After installing Nginx, we need to configure it as a reverse proxy to Kerberos.io. To do this, create a new server configuration file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory with the following content:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.error.log;
}
Don't forget to replace example.com with your own domain or IP address.
We need to enable the new configuration by creating a symlink in the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ directory with the following command:
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
After making changes to the Nginx configuration, we need to restart it with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
Now you have successfully installed and configured Kerberos.io on nixOS Latest. You can access the web interface by visiting your domain or IP address (ex: http://example.com).
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!
