OpenDevin VS nixos-machines

Open Devin is an innovative open-source project that builds on the ideas and capabilities of Devin. Employing technologies like Docker and Kubernetes for secure code execution and featuring a user-friendly interface designed with React, Open Devin supports real-time developer interactions and adjustments. Its versatility is supported by a community-driven approach, encouraging developer contributions and rapid adaptation to new technologies.

We have an issue in OpenDevin to add Aider as an agent, if anyone wants to take a crack at it:

So… don’t hold your breath. If you see someone building a UI (like this https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/tree/main/frontend, https://github.com/stitionai/devika/tree/main/ui; just read the commit log, it’s basically just ui

Yes. If you link to the UI sections of a repo you will likely see "basically just ui" commit history.

I guess you could argue that it’s important “setup infrastructure” stuff that any project starts with… but I’m just sceptical.

Of course it's an early stage pilot, it's only been developed since the Devin hype, why should it compete in quality at this very early time?

Is this similar to Devin (https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin)?

> @justlin610: Me and @huybery are discussing about reproducing Devin. https://github.com/opendevin/opendevin Come and join us and see if we can make something great together!

Developers can thrive thanks to open source! I believe that AI's future lies in sharing and open-source principles. With tools such as Devin, developers have nothing to fear about job security. Rather, they gain a free personal programming assistant. This allows them to concentrate on generating innovative ideas, while the AI handles the technical tasks, ultimately freeing up their time.

Thanks for open sourcing this project! I've packaged it with nix to make it easier for others to use: https://github.com/nixvital/ml-pkgs/blob/main/pkgs/aider/def...

If you are running nixos, an example of using it can be found here: https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/flake.ni...

I have been there. The progress was rather slow until I started to use NixOS. The learning curve is a bit steep but is very rewarding. It is not specific to self-hosting stuff, but as a side effect it makes self hosting super easy (declarative, readable, etc).

For most of the services that you would like, you just write a simple configuration and deploy it. For example, to run the service shiori (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or to host a game (terraria) server (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or tailscale (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/base/tai...). Since Nix is also a very good package manager, you also do not have to deal with installing packages and managing their dependencies.

With my NixOS server I am running all the services you mentioned, and also my router is just a bunch of services running on a NixOS box.
