    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • I recently decided to give Nix a try after seeing various posts about it. It defines itself as "a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible". There is also NixOS which is a Linux distribution built around Nix which extends the concept beyond just package management.

  • NixOS-docker

    Discontinued DEPRECATED! Dockerfiles to package Nix in a minimal docker container (by NixOS)

  • Luckily, I did not have to start from scratch as Nix serves their own docker image. I mounted one of my directories and was able to drop into a Nix shell with my configuration file.

  • 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.
