Organizr is a user-friendly web interface for managing multiple applications in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Organizr on nixOS.
Before proceeding with the installation of Organizr, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
First, we need to install Organizr's dependencies. Open your terminal and type the following command:
sudo nix-env -i nodejs jq
This command will install Node.js and jq, which are required for running Organizr.
Next, we need to download the latest version of Organizr from their GitHub repository. Run the following command to do so:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/organizr
sudo curl -L https://github.com/causefx/Organizr/releases/latest/download/Organizr-v2-latest-linux.tar.gz -o /var/www/organizr/organizr.tar.gz
This command will download Organizr's latest version and extract it to the /var/www/organizr directory.
Now, we need to configure Organizr. Navigate to the /var/www/organizr directory and open the config folder:
cd /var/www/organizr
sudo mkdir config
cd config
Next, create a new file called config.json using your preferred text editor and copy the following configuration:
{
"Host": "",
"Port": 5600,
"BaseUrl": "/organizr",
"Arr": false,
"Arr_Proto": "http",
"Arr_SSL": "off",
"Arr_Endpoint": "",
"Auth_System": "",
"Auth_Auto_Login": true,
"Auth_Basic": false,
"Auth_Header": false,
"Auth_Static_Key": "",
"Auth_Static_Key_File": "",
"Auth_LDAP": false,
"Auth_LDAP_Settings": {
"ldapurl": "",
"ldapbinddn": "",
"ldapbindpassword": "",
"searchuser": "",
"searchbase": "",
"searchfilter": "",
"PreferredEmailAttribute": "",
"GroupDN": "",
"GroupFilter": "",
"Group_Search_Attribute": "",
"Nested_Groups": false,
"Authentication_Type": ""
},
"Admin_IP_Restrictions": [],
"Admin_IP_Restrictions_Notes": "",
"New_User_Default_Settings": {
"UserID": "",

"GroupDefault_Sonarr": false,
"GroupDefault_Tautulli": false,
"GroupDefault_QBittorrent": false,
"GroupDefault_Deluge": false,
"GroupDefault_Jackett": false,
"GroupDefault_Lidarr": false,
"GroupDefault_Mylar": false,
"GroupDefault_Sickgear": false,
"GroupDefault_Sickrage": false,
"GroupDefault_Ombi": false
},
"User_Settings_Template": [],
"MDB": false,
"MDB_Db": "",
"MDB_Host": "",
"MDB_Port": "",
"MDB_Database": "",
"MDB_Username": "",
"MDB_Password": "",
"PushBullet_Settings": {
"api_key": ""
},
"FrontEndUpdates": true,
"GitHubReleases": true,
"TheaterMode": false,
"Autocomplete": true,
"ForceGen1": false
}
Replace the default values with your own settings based on your requirements. Save and close the file.
We need to create an Nginx configuration file for Organizr. Run the following command to create a new file called organizr.conf in the Nginx configuration directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf
Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
location /organizr {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5600;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 100m;
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS";
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Authorization";
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true";
add_header Content-Length 0;
add_header Content-Type text/plain;
return 200;
}
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS";
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Authorization";
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true";
}
}
Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name. Save and close the file.
Next, we need to enable the Nginx configuration we just created. Run the following commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/organizr.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/organizr.conf
sudo systemctl reload nginx
This will create a symbolic link between the configuration files and reload the Nginx service.
Finally, we are ready to start Organizr. Run the following command to start the application:
sudo node /var/www/organizr/server.js
Organizr should now be accessible through your domain name at http://your_domain.com/organizr.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Organizr on nixOS. Organizr provides an easy and configurable interface for managing multiple applications. You can now use Organizr to manage your favorite applications from a single interface.
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!
