Mejiro is a web-based tool that offers a user-friendly interface for Redis, which is an open-source database management system. Here are the steps for installing Mejiro on NixOS latest version:
Log in to your NixOS system as a root user.
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
.
Install the git
package by running the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.git
Clone the Mejiro repository from Github using git:
git clone https://github.com/dmpop/mejiro.git
Change the directory to the cloned Mejiro folder by running:
cd mejiro
Install Mejiro's dependencies by running:
sudo nix-env -f default.nix -i mejiro.deps
Build Mejiro by running:
nix-build
Start Mejiro by running:
./result/bin/mejiro
The Mejiro web interface should now be accessible on your NixOS system at http://localhost:3000/
.
If you want to start Mejiro as a service, create a system unit file for it:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mejiro.service
[Unit]
Description=Mejiro web interface
[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/mejiro/result/bin/mejiro
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save and close the file.
Reload the systemctl daemon by running:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable mejiro.service
sudo systemctl start mejiro.service
http://localhost:3000/
in your browser.That's it! You've successfully installed and started Mejiro on NixOS latest version.
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!
