  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    • The python documentation is usually up-to-date and mostly comprehensive https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-frameworks/python.section.md

  • node2nix

    Generate Nix expressions to build NPM packages

    • For node programs, you may be able to find the commands as just packages, or look at https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix for creating the nix equivalent of a node-modules

  • InfluxDB

  • nix-npm-buildpackage

    Build nix packages that use npm/yarn

    • I usually got by with the python stuff in nixpkgs. Other than that for applications I would probably recommend poetry2nix as mentioned. For the nodejs I would use https://github.com/serokell/nix-npm-buildpackage
