This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Form.io on the latest version of NixOS. If you want to create forms with ease, Form.io is an excellent solution. It is an open-source form builder that lets you create complex and dynamic forms with ease.
Prerequisites:
If Nix is not already installed on your system, you will need to install it first.
To install Nix on NixOS, run the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix
Once Nix is installed, you can use it to install Form.io. To do this, run the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.formio
This command will download and install the latest version of Form.io on your system. Once complete, you will be able to access Form.io through your web browser.
To run Form.io, you need to start its server. Use the following command to start the server:
$ sudo systemctl start form.io
This command will start the Form.io server on your device. After executing the above command, you can access the Form.io interface through your web browser. To access Form.io, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3001.
Once Form.io is running, you can access the web user interface by visiting http://localhost:3001. On the Form.io dashboard interface, select the "Admin" or "Settings" button. From there, you can configure the user interface according to your needs.
That’s it! By following these simple steps, you’ve successfully installed and started using Form.io on your NixOS device. With Form.io, you can now create dynamic and complex forms with ease.
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!
