Orchest is a development platform and a cloud application framework. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to successfully install Orchestio on the NixOS latest version.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
To install Orchest, we need to add Orchest package to the NixOS environment. We will do this using the nix-env command.
nix-env -i orchest
This will download and install the Orchest package.
Orchest uses Docker for containerization. If you haven't already, install Docker by running the following command:
nix-env -i docker
Orchest needs to be configured before we can use it. We need to add the following lines to the NixOS configuration file.
services.orchest.enable = true;
services.orchest.endpoint = "https://api.orchest.io/api/v1";
services.orchest.access_token = "your-access-token";
Replace "your-access-token" with your Orchest access token.
Once you have added these lines to the NixOS configuration file, save and close the file.
To verify that Orchest has been successfully installed on your machine, run the following command:
orchest version
If installed successfully, you should see the version information of Orchest printed on the terminal.
That's it! you have successfully installed Orchest on NixOS latest. You can now use Orchest and its features to develop and deploy cloud applications.
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!
