Noisedash is a noise monitoring system that collects acoustic data from sensors and provides analysis and visualization of the data. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Noisedash on the latest version of NixOS.
Before proceeding with the installation of Noisedash, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Noisedash on NixOS latest:
The first step is to clone the Noisedash repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git
Noisedash requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
$ nix-shell --run "pip install -r requirements.txt"
Noisedash needs some configuration settings to work correctly. Open the config.py file and modify the following settings:

Noisedash is now up and running on your system. You can access the application by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:5000/
You should see the Noisedash dashboard with all the acoustic data displayed in graphical form.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Noisedash on NixOS Latest. With Noisedash, you can easily collect and analyze acoustic data, providing useful insights into noise pollution. Now that you have Noisedash up and running, you can start collecting and analyzing data to make informed decisions about noise management.
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!
