  • gomi

    🗑️ Replacement for UNIX rm command!

  • TL;DR: Let's say I want to install this but searching for it in nix search nixpkgs gomi shows no results. How do I install gomi the NixOS way?

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • Fork nixpkgs, create a gomi "package" and change my inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:my-personal-nixpkgs-fork" so now I need to keep this up to date with the official repo.

  • 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.
