flox – Harness the Power of Nix

• devenv

  89 3,444 9.8 Nix

  Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments

  

Congrats on the beta, but it looks a lot like devenv. Are the two projects somehow related?

• npt

  4 24 4.4 Rust

  Nix Package Tool. A (humble) successor to linux's apt, which makes life easier when using nix as a package manager. (by woile)

I've been working in something similar https://github.com/woile/npt but it's in much earlier stages.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• runix

  2 100 6.8 Rust

  A type-safe Rust interface to the Nix CLI

  

I wasn't aware of npt, thanks! We've also released https://github.com/flox/runix as a library to make it easier to wrap Nix.

• capacitor

  1 8 0.0 Nix
  

Run `flox init` in a fresh directory and you'll see a project initialization and the flake directly in the repo. The main flow in the docs are geared toward non-Nix users, but we have kept the ability to access the underlying flakes directly with Nix (because we want this ourselves!). Take a look at the work in: https://github.com/flox/capacitor

• rfcs

  50 488 5.0

  The Nix community RFCs (by NixOS)

  

* nixpkgs is eyeing to adopt a similar structure btw: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/140

• dream2nix

  9 859 9.6 Nix

  Simplified nix packaging for various programming language ecosystems [maintainer=@DavHau]

  

(I'm on the flox team) we'd love to support that and it's something we've talked about! We already support auto-generation for some languages like Rust because they have a lockfile (e.g. Cargo.lock), but it's a bit trickier for a requirements.txt. We hope at some point to contribute to/integrate with upstream efforts like dream2nix which have auto-generation as their goal
