dotfiles VS NUR

I used this as reference: https://github.com/Mic92/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/eva/modules/prometheus/default.nix and this guide: https://christine.website/blog/prometheus-grafana-loki-nixos-2020-11-20 (but with telegraf instead of node-exporter)

So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

You need to use nur

Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

Apart from nixpkgs having many packages, there is also NUR which has even more stuff.

You might also want to publish your sarc utility on NUR, https://nur.nix-community.org/

nur = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/archive/master.tar.gz") {

Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.

Follow the NUR installation instructions and it should be in pkgs.nur.repos.arc.packages.nvidia-patch.

As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.

Some common options for the first: - your own git repo - your own flake (a specially constructed and easy to consume git repo) - something like NUR
