Restyaboard is a web-based collaboration tool that allows teams to manage their projects and workflows. It is an open-source software that can be downloaded for free from https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Restyaboard on nixOS latest. nixOS is a Linux distribution that provides a purely functional package management system.
The first step is to update the system using the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update your nixOS system to the latest version.
Before installing Restyaboard, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL, Nginx, and PHP:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.postgresql nixos.nginx nixos.php
Next, you need to configure PostgreSQL by editing the configuration file. Run the following command to open the configuration file in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Scroll down to the services.postgresql section and add the following lines:
services.postgresql.enable = true;
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql;
services.postgresql.authentication = ''
local all all md5
'';
Save and close the configuration file.
Now you can install Restyaboard on nixOS. Run the following command to download Restyaboard from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git
Navigate to the board directory by running:
cd board
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
make install
Next, you need to configure Nginx by editing the configuration file. Run the following command to open the configuration file in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Scroll down to the services.nginx section and add the following lines:
services.nginx.enable = true;
services.nginx.configFile = "${pkgs.restyaboard}/nginx.conf";
Save and close the configuration file.
The final step is to start the Nginx and PostgreSQL services. Run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl start postgresql
