In this tutorial, we will go through the necessary steps to install Tmate on NixOS Latest.
Tmate is a Terminal Multiplexer that allows you to share your terminal sessions with other people. It is available for various operating systems, including NixOS.
To get started, open a Terminal window on your NixOS Latest installation.
To install Tmate, you can use the Nix package manager. In your Terminal, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -i tmate
This will download and install the Tmate package on your system.
To verify that Tmate has been installed correctly, you can run the following command:
tmate -V
This should output the version of Tmate that is installed on your NixOS Latest system.
To start a Tmate session, run the following command:
tmate
This will start a Tmate session and generate a URL that you can use to share the session with other people.
Tmate is now installed on your NixOS Latest installation, and you can start sharing your terminal sessions with other people. If you encounter any issues during the installation process or while using Tmate, refer to the Tmate documentation or NixOS support resources.
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!
