Nix-ifying a Rust project

1. himalaya

   1 49 4,865 9.5 Rust

   CLI to manage emails

   

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. rust-overlay

   2 11 1,196 9.6 Nix

   Pure and reproducible nix overlay of binary distributed rust toolchains

   

   It uses the oxalica overlay instead of the nixpkgs, mainly because I couldn't get rust-analyzer (required by the VSCode extension; see .vscode/ folder) working with the nixpkgs version.

4. naersk

   3 6 839 7.1 Nix

   Build Rust projects in Nix - no configuration, no code generation, no IFD, sandbox friendly.

   

   sounds exactly like what naersk does. naersk doesn't need a cargSha256 argument since it downloads dependencies from Cargo.lock. it can also grab the version number from Cargo.toml

5. Home Manager using Nix

   4 190 8,310 9.9 Nix

   Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@khaneliman, @rycee]

   

   You can also use https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager to manage your dotfiles the Nix way.

6. xplr

   5 105 4,458 6.0 Rust

   A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer

   

   Thanks for the post. I'm having trouble nixifying https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr. Hopefully this post will help. Btw, does anyone know any github actions alternative?

7. crate2nix

   6 11 423 5.9 Nix

   rebuild only changed crates in CI with crate2nix and nix

   

   I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here. Sometimes it requires a couple of overrides to fix some misbehaving crates (see https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/blob/master/flake.nix#L29 for an example of such overrides), but otherwise it's fantastic. It doesn't require any hash nonsense, it downloads and builds all the crates separately (unlike naersk or other solutions) so you get all the benefits of Nix (reproducibility and proper caching).

8. nix-templates

   7 8 49 3.5 Nix

   Nix Flake templates for various languages

   

   I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here.

9. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

11. crates.io-index

    9 40 639 10.0 Tcl

    Registry index for crates.io

    

    ++ crate2nix generate -f ./Cargo.toml -o Cargo-generated.nix -h /nix/store/nzvk2yxgmcz0jkzpwsgl4wpvq43646pr-himalaya-crate2nix/cra> Error: while retrieving metadata about ./Cargo.toml: Error during execution of `cargo metadata`: error: no matching package named > location searched: registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index` required by package `himalaya v0.2.2 (/build/source)`
