  • Use the 'Tail' Command to Monitor Everything

    I found myself doing this as well and decided to write a simple tool to do it "automatically" for me.

    You still can't use it with less, but at least it allows you to mark "segments" of the log without switching to that window and mashing enter.

    In general it is very nice. A common method is you create a `default.nix` file in the project you are working on and use tools that manage the deps for you. For example:

    Rust+Cargo: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/watchlog/-/blob/22c877065f763b3d...

    Node+NPM: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/kevincox-web-compiler/-/blob/9fa...

    My only Ruby project is private but I just rolled my own with:

    export "GEM_HOME=$out"

  • Throwing some Nix in the Mix
    2 projects | dev.to | 28 Nov 2021
    Luckily, I did not have to start from scratch as Nix serves their own docker image. I mounted one of my directories and was able to drop into a Nix shell with my configuration file.

    There is one: https://github.com/NixOS/docker

    But it's more of a Nix docker image than a NixOS one, because half of the things that NixOS gives you don't really make much sense in a docker image (systemd in a container?).

    Ability to run buildkite agents inside a kubernetes cluster on preemble instances without need to modify agent’s Dockerfile every time new dependency comes up - was one of major reasons to learn Nix. I’m just using nixos/docker image as a base, install buildkite-agent and some base stuff like bash via nix-env inside Dickerfile, everything else lays in flake.nix of every project my dockerized nixified buildkite agent run.
