  • comma

    Comma runs software without installing it. [maintainers=@Artturin,@burke,@DavHau]

    If you want to test out some program, I would STRONGLY recommend using nix-shell -p . This will create temporary environment, that will allow you to test out the package. You can also check out comma.

  • Home Manager using Nix

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

    Also if you would like to install packages only for one user and modify his home directory decoratively, I would recommend looking into home-manager.

  • InfluxDB

    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.
