LBRY is a decentralized, open-source platform for sharing digital content, including videos, music, and eBooks. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install LBRY on NixOS latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
First, update the system and packages by running the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update the NixOS channels and rebuild the system with the latest packages.
To install LBRY, we need to add the LBRY repository to NixOS. Create a new file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/lbry.nix
and add the following lines:
{
packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
lbry-sdk = callPackage (fetchGit {
url = https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk;
rev = "2cdbb9d9f35ae5c21410e812d8df505f1b17531c";
}) {};
};
}
Save and close the file.
Next, add the LBRY package to the system configuration:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
imports = [
./lbry.nix
];
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
lbry-sdk
];
Save and close the file.
Finally, rebuild the system to apply the changes:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
To verify that LBRY is installed, run the following command:
lbrynet-daemon
If LBRY is installed correctly, you should see the output of the daemon in the terminal.
