  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • distrobox

    Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox

    Another option is to install a distrobox container and install your software in the container

  • hydra

    Hydra, the Nix-based continuous build system (by NixOS)

    Somewhat related to this, is there a good way to install something from a flake inside the configuration.nix? For example, the hydra flake, since it includes many derivations for dependencies that are not part of nixpkgs (or are at the wrong versions).

  • 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.

  • flake-utils-plus

    Use Nix flakes without any fluff.

    Converting to flakes is not that hard if you use a good library. The documentation is other people's configs, really.
