Configuration is defined in default.nix and nixfiles/. www/ and admin/ are websites examples.
bash <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
Add the last stable nix channel containing the packages we want
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-18.09 nixos
nix-channel --update
Note: installation put all files in the /nix folder, the rest of the system is not touched. Just remove this directory to completely uninstall the tool and installed packages.
The following command activates the environment : nix-shell
You can then start the services (an instance of Nginx, PHP7, and MariaDB) with startServices
During the first run, nix will download all the dependencies and create the local configuration files, this may take a little while.
To stop the services: make stop, to restart them: startServices, to exit the environment: exit.
By default nginx listens on port 8080 and MariaDB on port 3307 to avoid conflicts with any services already launched on the machine (default 80 for apache/nginx and 3306 for mysql/mariadb); it is possible to modify these values by creating a file nixfiles/config.nix on the model of nixfiles/config.dist.nix
The MariaDB root password is set to admin.
Edit your /etc/hosts as follows:
127.0.0.1 admin.localhost website.localhost
Websites are visible at http://admin.localhost:8080 , http://website.localhost:8080
It is possible to add other virtualhost sites by modifying nixfiles/nginx/nginx.conf.nix: just add a line according to the following template at the end of the file, just before the line upstream phpfcgi { :
include ${makeVirtualHost { domain = "admin.localhost"; path = (rootDir + "/admin");}};
Nginx logs are in nixfiles/nginx/logs/
Database administration with adminer :
Go to http://admin.localhost:8080/adminer.php and connect with the following elements (default configuration) :
- System : Mysql
- Server : 127.0.0.1:3307
- Username : root
- Password : admin
