    Flake templates (by NixOS)

  • Unless you want to handwire something together or use another higher level function from some 3rd party library, your want to use this function. It is basically the entrypoint to a flake based nixos system configuration. See https://github.com/NixOS/templates/blob/master/simple-container/flake.nix for an example.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • The arguments can be found here https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix but system and modules are the only two arguments you need for now. There is probably some documentation in the manual but there is no API documentation.

  • InfluxDB
