In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install etcd from https://github.com/coreos/etcd on the latest version of NixOS.
The first step is to update your NixOS system to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will update your system to the latest version of NixOS.
To install etcd on NixOS, you need to add it to your configuration.nix file. Open the file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Now, add the following lines to your configuration.nix file:
services.etcd.enable = true;
services.etcd.package = pkgs.etcd;
Save the file and exit nano.
To activate the configuration, run the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
This command will activate the new configuration.
To verify that etcd has been installed correctly, run the following command:
systemctl status etcd
If etcd is running, the output will show that it is active and running. If it is not running, try restarting the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart etcd
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install etcd on NixOS. By following these easy steps, you should now have etcd installed and running on your NixOS system.
