  • devbox

    Instant, easy, and predictable development environments

  • Project mention: Show HN: Brioche – A new Nix-like package manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-03

    There's also [devbox](https://github.com/jetify-com/devbox).

    Tried a lot of them, and after a while I found the nix the package manager requires too many workarounds. Things don't just work. For example, installing alacritty requires an OpenGL wrapper. Neovim can't find libraries to build some plugins. Basically, anything GUI had issues.

    In the end, `cargo install`, `go install` and download a release archive from github are simpler to script for most of the tools I use.

  • Project mention: Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-15

    No discussion about Nix-built containers is complete with nix2container:

    It is truly magical for handling large, multi-layered containers. Instead of building the container archives themselves and storing them in the nix store, it builds a JSON manifest that is consumed by a lightly patched version of skopeo that streams the layers directly to either your local container engine or the registry.

    This means you never rebuild or reupload a container layer that is unchanged.

  • bob

    Bob is a high-level build tool for multi-language projects. (by benchkram)

  • Project mention: Bob: A high-level build tool for multi-language projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-29
  • appvm

    Nix-based app VMs

  • buildkit-nix

    Nix derivations as Dockerfiles (`docker build -f default.nix .`)

  • Project mention: Virtualizing Development Environments in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-04

    Nix solves a different problem than Hocus. Nix lets you define a development environment, Hocus gives you a way to run it. Right now we use Dockerfiles to let users define the packages they need in their dev env, but we would like to support Nix in the future too. Interestingly, you can use custom BuildKit syntax https://docs.docker.com/build/dockerfile/frontend/ to build Nix environments with Docker https://github.com/reproducible-containers/buildkit-nix, and that's probably what we will end up supporting.
