Installing NXFILTER on Arch based systems

[joaomach]

I would like to share, for those that would like want to use Arch based systems, a simple and easy way to install. Although the zip file works manually, setting up systemd service is a pain.

So here are the steps to convert a deb package to an Arch package: But first install the dependencies; java-runtime-common, jre8-openjdk, jre8-openjdk-headless

1. From the AUR, install package

   yay -S debtap

   yay is the AUR helper installer, but you can use what ever is available in your system to install AUR packages
2. Then configure and update detap by running

   sudo debtap -u

3. Download the .deb package from https://nxfilter.org/p4/download/
4. From terminal in location of downloaded .deb package, run:

   debtap -q nxfilter-4.x.x.x.deb

   (replace the x with your correct version.
5. Once package is comlete, just manually install it via command line or by GUI package manager.
6. Enable the nxfilter service and start it:

   sudo systemctl enable --now nxfilter

That should do it, grab a browser and go to http://localhost/admin
