Temboz is a calendar server that allows users to synchronize their calendar across multiple devices. This tutorial will provide step-by-step instructions for installing Temboz on the latest version of NixOS.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you must have:
The first step is to install the required packages. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to install the required packages:
$ sudo nix-env -i postgresql curl
Next, clone the Temboz repository from GitHub using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/fazalmajid/temboz.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the Temboz directory by entering the following command:
$ cd temboz
Temboz uses a configuration file to define its settings. Copy the sample configuration file provided with the source code to your home directory using the following command:
$ cp config/default.json ~/.temboz.json
Open the newly created configuration file $HOME/.temboz.json
and update the following settings:
{
"database": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"user": "postgres",
"password": "password",
"database": "temboz"
},
"auth": {
"google": {
"clientId": "your-google-client-id",
"clientSecret": "your-google-client-secret"
}
},
"baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080",
"session": {
"secret": "your-random-secret-key"
}
}
Make sure to update the database
settings according to your environment. You will also need to create a Google API project and generate a Client ID and Client Secret.
Temboz uses PostgreSQL as its database backend. Create a new database and user for Temboz using the following commands:
$ sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE temboz;
CREATE USER temboz WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE temboz TO temboz;
\q
Temboz is built using Node.js and utilizes several third-party packages. Install these packages by entering the following command:

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!
