Raveberry is a software project designed to help users create their own music festival using Raspberry Pi. It offers a user-friendly web interface that allows you to control music playback, lighting, and other festival-related activities. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Raveberry on NixOS, a Linux distribution known for its declarative configuration and package management system.
Before you begin this tutorial, you will need the following:
Update your NixOS system to ensure that you have the latest packages:
$ nix-channel --update
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Install the Raveberry package from the NixOS repository:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.raveberry
Configure your NixOS system to enable Raveberry as a service. Open the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file using your preferred text editor and add the following to the services section:
services.raveberry = {
enable = true;
# Add any additional configuration options here
};
Save the file and exit your text editor. Run the following command to apply your changes:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Verify that Raveberry is running by using your web browser to navigate to http://<your-raspberry-pi-ip-address>:8000. You should see the Raveberry web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Raveberry on your NixOS Latest Raspberry Pi. You can now start exploring the various features and tools offered by Raveberry to create your dream festival experience.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
