Motor Admin is a web-based database administration tool for MongoDB. It allows you to manage databases, collections, and documents from a web interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Motor Admin on NixOS latest version.
Before we can install Motor Admin, we need to have MongoDB installed on our NixOS system.
To install MongoDB, open your NixOS terminal and run the following commands:
$ sudo nix-env -i mongodb
To install Motor Admin, we will use the nix-env command.
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.motor-admin
Once Motor Admin has been installed, we need to enable and start the service.
To enable Motor Admin service:
$ sudo systemctl enable motor-admin.service
This command will create a symlink to the service file in the /etc/systemd/system directory.
To start the Motor Admin service, enter the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start motor-admin.service
After a few seconds, the Motor Admin service will be started successfully.
Motor Admin is now installed and running on your NixOS system. You can access it by visiting the following URL on your web browser:
http://your-server-ip:3100
If everything goes well, you should see the login page of the Motor Admin interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Motor Admin on NixOS latest version. If you have followed the steps correctly, you should now have Motor Admin up and running on your server.
