Tsuru is an open-source platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to easily deploy and manage applications on cloud infrastructure. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Tsuru on the latest version of nixOS.
Before installing Tsuru, you must have:
Before installing any new software on your system, it is always a good practice to update the system package repositories and packages to the latest version. To update the system, run the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
The first step of installing Tsuru is to install its dependencies. Tsuru requires the following dependencies:
To install these dependencies on nixOS, you need to modify the configuration.nix
file located in the /etc/nixos
directory. In this file, you need to add the following lines:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
git
go
python37
mongodb
redis
];
Save the configuration.nix
file, and run the following command to update the system:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Once you have installed the dependencies, you can proceed with installing Tsuru. There are two ways to install Tsuru:
The easiest way to install Tsuru is to use the nix-shell
command. The nix-shell
command creates a temporary environment with all the dependencies required to run Tsuru. To install Tsuru using nix-shell
, run the following command:
nix-shell https://github.com/tsuru/tsuru-shell/archive/master.tar.gz -A shell -I channels=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
This command fetches the latest version of the Tsuru source code and installs it into a temporary environment. Once the installation is complete, you can start using Tsuru by running the following command:
tsuru install
Alternatively, you can build Tsuru from source. To do so, you need to perform the following steps:
git clone https://github.com/tsuru/tsuru.git
cd tsuru
git checkout v1.7.0 # replace with latest version number
make build
sudo make install
Once the installation is complete, you can start using Tsuru by running the following command:
tsuru install
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tsuru on nixOS latest. You can now deploy and manage your applications easily using Tsuru.
