How to install whoogle

Help

Hi All,

I’m new to nix and I’m trying to install whoogle. I tried to use the following:

{ stdenv, fetchFromGitHub, python3, systemd, ... }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "whoogle-search";
  version = "0.8.2";
  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "benbusby";
    repo = "whoogle-search";
    rev = "0003da4bb9645a1098c297a5e6e3efa2d9709407";  # Replace with the desired revision
    sha256 = "sha256-0O30DIICygPdUykfkjj7wr0I2i4x8m8v4HA0u8No348=";
  };

  buildInputs = [ python3 ];

  buildPhase = ''
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements.txt

    # Cleanup unused
    rm -r .git .github docs test .dockerignore .gitignore .replit docker-compose.yml Dockerfile heroku.yml MANIFEST.in README.md requirements.txt
  '';

  installPhase = ''
    install -Dm0644 whoogle "$out/etc/default/whoogle"
    install -Dm0644 whoogle.conf "$out/usr/lib/sysusers.d/whoogle.conf"
    install -Dm0644 whoogle.service "$out/usr/lib/systemd/system/whoogle.service"
    install -Dm0644 whoogle-search/LICENSE "$out/usr/share/licenses/whoogle-search/LICENSE"
    cp -r whoogle-search "$out/opt/"
  '';
}

and I get the following error no matter what I do:

error: builder for '/nix/store/fadpka68xhzb9w292pfahk6kd8pn5w8j-whoogle-search-0.8.2.drv' failed with exit code 1;

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :heart:

Builds don’t have network access, so installing from pip in the middle of a build won’t work.

You can likely make the pip approach work in nix-shell (see Nixpkgs 23.11 manual | Nix & NixOS).

The Nix Way to make it work in nix-build is to specify all of the dependencies so that they can be downloaded/built before this build begins. python packaging can be ~work, so I hesitate to send you off on that adventure without really understanding how hard or simple whoogle will be to package.

Thanks! I will take a look later how much effort to package it.
I will use pipx for now to install it
