Django-wiki is a platform-independent web application for managing wiki content. It is built on the Django web framework and can be installed on NixOS.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Django-wiki on NixOS latest.
First, ensure that Python and Django are installed on your system:
$ sudo nix-env -i python3 django
Next, install the required dependencies for Django-wiki:
$ sudo nix-env -i python3_pip python3_development
$ sudo python3 -m pip install Pillow
Clone the Django-wiki repository from Github:
$ git clone https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki.git
Change into the root of the Django-wiki project directory:
$ cd django-wiki/
Then, create a virtual environment for Django-wiki:
$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
Install Django-wiki:
$ pip install --editable .
Next, create a new project using the Django-wiki template:
$ django-admin startproject mywiki --template=django_wiki/project_template/
$ cd mywiki/
Create an app in this project:
$ python manage.py startapp myapp
Then, register the app in the INSTALLED_APPS
section in mywiki/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django.contrib.humanize',
'django_summernote',
'wiki.core',
'django_extensions',
'myapp', # add here
]
By default, Django-wiki uses SQLite as the database. Therefore, you need to configure the database by running the following command:
$ python manage.py migrate
Finally, launch the application by running the following command:
$ python manage.py runserver
The application will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
You now have Django-wiki installed and running on NixOS latest. You can customize the configuration further by exploring the documentation and settings files.
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!
