Tracim is an open-source, decentralized, and collaborative document management system that allows you to store, manage, and share documents securely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tracim on NixOS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Firstly, you need to ensure that your system is updated by running the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Next, we need to install the required packages for Tracim. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo nix-env -i nodejs
sudo nix-env -i mongodb
Now, let's install Tracim. First, create a directory for Tracim to reside in:
sudo mkdir -p /var/tracim
sudo chown yourusername: /var/tracim
Then, clone the Tracim repository from Github:
git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
cd tracim
Now, we need to install the dependencies for Tracim:
npm install
Next, let's create a configuration file for Tracim. Copy the config/default.sample.json file to config/default.json:
sudo cp config/default.sample.json config/default.json
Then, edit the default.json file and update the following configurations as desired:
{
"server": {
"host": "localhost", // change to your server IP or hostname
"port": 8080
},
"db": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 27017,
"name": "tracim"
},
"admin": {
"email": "admin@example.com",
"password": "changeme"
}
}
We are now ready to start Tracim. In the terminal, run:
npm run start
Tracim will now be accessible on your server's IP or hostname, on port 8080. For example, if your server IP is 192.168.1.100, you can access Tracim by navigating to http://192.168.1.100:8080.
You have successfully installed Tracim on NixOS Latest. You can now start using Tracim to securely store, manage, and share your documents.
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!
