In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenOlitor on nixOS Latest. OpenOlitor is an open-source software that facilitates collaboration between small farmers and their customers. It allows farmers to manage their products, orders, and deliveries, while customers can view and order available products online.
OpenOlitor requires Nix package manager to be installed on your system. If it is not already installed, run the following command:
sudo curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Clone the OpenOlitor repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/OpenOlitor/OpenOlitor.git
Next, navigate to the OpenOlitor directory and generate configuration files by running:
cd OpenOlitor
cp nix/hosts/nixos.nix.example nix/hosts/nixos.nix
Modify the generated configuration file based on your system requirements. The configuration file is located at nix/hosts/nixos.nix. You can use a text editor of your choice to modify it. OpenOlitor provides a sample configuration file that you can use as a starting point.
Build OpenOlitor using the following command:
nix-build -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/archive/(nixpkgs-version).tar.gz nix/hosts/nixos.nix -A vm
Replace (nixpkgs-version) with the version of nixpkgs that you want to use.
Start OpenOlitor by running:
./result/bin/openolitor-vm
You can now access OpenOlitor by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed OpenOlitor on nixOS Latest. You can now manage your products, orders, and deliveries using OpenOlitor. Feel free to modify the configuration file to suit your requirements.
