Top 23 Nix Nix Projects
-
Have you seen https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/digital-ocean-image.nix as far as the image building part goes?
-
Project mention: How to efficiently change colours and fonts in configuration files | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2022-01-13
A lot of NixOS ricers use https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager.
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Project mention: How does your local development on Mac (M1) looks like in 2022? | reddit.com/r/PHP | 2022-01-07
Another thing I want to investigate is using nix-darwin: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin That would leave the realm of virtualization and containers, but their focus is more on configuring a system and less on configuring a project.
-
reflex-platform
A curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell packages so they can run on a variety of platforms. reflex-platform is built on top of the nix package manager.
The type classes do take a toll on performance, but in reflex-platform we change GHC's default flags to make the situation a lot better. It's still not ideal, but our performance winds up being OK for real applications. The most important part is that the performance scales reasonably well as the application grows. It might probably be good at some point to use backpack instead of a typeclass so that specialization can be enforced - though I'd prefer if GHC gave a way to just force specialization more effectively.

Project mention: What's the proper way to set up nix / home manager w/ flakes, directory wise? | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2021-11-20
Yes, I put the repository in ~/nix. My repository is based on devos, but I am thinking of switching to a different setup, because I don't want to depend on a framework which can be an issue in updating.
-
If you want to build custom images just use https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators
-
Project mention: Pushing/marketing the nix package manager as a Flatpak/Snap competitor? | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2021-11-25
Another way to approach this would be to advocate Nix as the build system for Flatpak or AppImage. Don't know what the status is of nix-bundle, but if it is possible to turn a Nix package into an AppImage with little extra work that would be ideal.
-
OPS
OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.

Project mention: Offering $$ reward for setting up android dev environment without ever touching a GUI | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2021-11-04
error: undefined variable 'mkDevShell' at /nix/store/4d49n4fwilj48za9bccgm4xvrz6kakpy-source/devshell.nix:8:1: 7| # Documentation: https://github.com/numtide/devshell 8| mkDevShell { | ^ 9| name = "android-project"; (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
-
Project mention: Memory from finished thread is not getting reclaimed | reddit.com/r/haskell | 2021-09-09
If you are somewhat comfortable with nix: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix supports GHCJS 8.10.x (in particular 8.10.7).
-
Project mention: GHC reports "Loading static libraries is not supported" | reddit.com/r/haskell | 2021-10-11
To debug this type of problem (I have to debug linker errors regularly as part of static-haskell-nix):
-
There's snack for Haskell: https://github.com/nmattia/snack
-
naersk
Build rust crates in Nix. No configuration, no code generation, no IFD. Sandbox friendly. [maintainer: ???]
I created https://github.com/nmattia/napalm/issues/34 and https://github.com/nmattia/naersk/issues/183 to move them to nix-community
-
Project mention: Getting Started Using Nix Flakes As An Elixir Development Environment | dev.to | 2022-01-09
The inputs is how you can import external sources of other flakes into the flake project you have. In other words, any project you may need or tools required to get started, this is where you will define their source. Example below is using the standard nixpkgs and a tool called flake-utils, which provides a set of functions to make flake nix packages simpler to set up without external dependencies.

Project mention: Show HN: Jupyter kernel using Poetry for reproducible Python package management | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-12-23
Poetry2nix[1] is good for that. A lot of packages unfortunately require overrides to work, but poetry2nix ships with a bunch of these by default.
-
You can probably hook something up using https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable.
-
nix-bitcoin
A collection of Nix packages and NixOS modules for easily installing full-featured Bitcoin nodes with an emphasis on security.
Project mention: Node Resiliency using VM & Snapshots | reddit.com/r/lightningnetwork | 2021-11-12NixOS and https://nixbitcoin.org/ makes the need for "platform recovery" obsolete.
-
Project mention: Fenix: rust toolchains for all channels and rust-analyzer nightly | reddit.com/r/Nix | 2021-05-12
Can you say a bit about how this compares to oxalica’s rust overlay?
-
impermanence
Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [[email protected]]
Project mention: Tmpfs Root - Do I want to persist the folder containing stamp-*.timer files to ensure my "persistent" timers run at next boot? | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2022-01-08You will likely end up doing a lot of bind-mounting, so I would suggest looking into the impermanence module to help with that.
-
Project mention: Best way to install Doom Emacs using Home Manager? | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2021-11-20
I use this it works great.
-
-
From my quick reading of cargo2nix's webpage yes. https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix has a workspaces section.

Project mention: Nix-GUI: Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through settings / GUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-10-10
I think NixOS would benefit from easily accessible collection of opinionated modules/profiles/configurations with minimal set of options. Something like gnome-desktop / sway-desktop / etc. Gnome actually does pretty good job here.
The point is: currently my NixOS and Home Manager configurations have over 2k LOC total. When you search for configurations on GitHub/Google you are likely to find complex ones. For example, quick search for "nixos gnome" (Google) gives me link to NixOS Wiki (which describes only Gnome part) and blog post (https://gvolpe.com/blog/gnome3-on-nixos/) which is useful but links to really huge configuration (https://github.com/gvolpe/nix-config) that is overwhelming to any beginner.
Great example of such approach is nixos-hardware (https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware) which provides one-line configuration covering hardware quirks.
