WebODF is an open-source platform for presenting, creating, and editing documents online, which is being widely used in various content management systems. In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to install WebODF on NixOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to add the upstream channel for WebODF to our NixOS Latest system. Use the following command to add the channel:
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05
Now that the upstream channel is added to the system, we can proceed with the installation of WebODF. Use the following command to install WebODF:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.webodf
By default, WebODF listens on port 8080. We need to configure the firewall to allow access to this port.
Use the following command to open the port:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
After opening the port, reload the firewall by using the following command:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Once the installation is complete and the port is open, start the WebODF service using the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start webodf
WebODF should now be accessible through your web browser. Open your web browser and enter the following URL: http://localhost:8080.
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the WebODF interface, where you can create and edit documents.
WebODF is an excellent platform for creating, presenting and editing documents online. In this tutorial, we have seen how to install WebODF on NixOS Latest. You can now create and edit documents using WebODF.
