Plone is a powerful and robust content management system that helps organizations manage their websites and associated content. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Plone on nixOS latest.
Before we proceed with the installation process, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before we start installing Plone, it’s essential to ensure that our system package index is up to date. To update the package index, run the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update
Once the package index is updated, we can proceed with the installation of Plone. To install Plone, run the following Nix command:
nix-env -iA nixos.plone zeo
This command will install Plone and its necessary dependencies. The -iA flag tells Nix to install the package, and nixos.plone and zeo are the names of the packages that we want to install.
After the installation is complete, we can verify that Plone is up and running by visiting the following URL in a web browser.
http://localhost:8080/
If the installation is successful, we should see the Plone homepage.
Now that Plone is installed, we need to configure it. In the same terminal window, run the following command:
/opt/plone/bin/plonectl start
This command will start the Plone server.
To stop the server, run the following command:
/opt/plone/bin/plonectl stop
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Plone on NixOS latest. We also learned how to start and stop the Plone server. If you encounter any issues during installation or configuration, please consult the Plone documentation or the NixOS manual.
