Statically built Nix on Alpine Linux #6751 (2022)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • bedrocklinux-userland

    This tracks development for the things such as scripts and (defaults for) config files for Bedrock Linux

  • Now this is interesting... apparently it is possible to run Nix AKA "The Nix Package Manager" on Alpine -- despite the fact that Alpine is Busybox and Musl based and NixOS is Coreutils and Glibc based!

    Well done Nix engineers and contributors!

    (I may switch to Alpine w/Nix Package Manager in the future, depending on how well it works!)
