Top 23 flake Open-Source Projects

  • nix-starter-configs

    Simple and documented config templates to help you get started with NixOS + home-manager + flakes. All the boilerplate you need!

    • Project mention: Home-manager as NixOS module or as standalone? | /r/NixOS | 2023-12-10

    Is this an example of what you mean (home-manager is defined as part of the flake): https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs/blob/main/minimal/flake.nix

  • disko

    Declarative disk partitioning and formatting using nix [maintainer=@Lassulus]

    • Project mention: Obscura: The VPN that can't track your activity | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-29

    It's mostly bash scripts (I know I have stockholm syndrome there) and nixos-rebuild: https://www.haskellforall.com/2023/01/announcing-nixos-rebui...

    All the nix deployment tools had too much magic and broke, but nixos-rebuild always works and it's part of Nix!

    Disko was great for bootstrapping servers: https://github.com/nix-community/disko

  • 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.

    • Project mention: Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-15

    There are attempts like

    https://flake.parts/

    or

    https://github.com/nix-community/flakelight

    Their aim is to create an ecosystem of reusable Nix libraries. But it is tiny.

  • fenix

    Rust toolchains and rust-analyzer nightly for Nix [maintainer=@figsoda] (by figsoda)

    • Project mention: Use nix-shell or systemPackages | /r/NixOS | 2023-07-09

    Rustup works as is. Though note that Nix supplants all such toolchain installers such as Rustup, nvm, etc. I.e. instead of Rustup there is fenix.

    We actually do this in Nammayatri, an OSS project providing "Uber" for autos in India.

    https://github.com/nammayatri/nammayatri

    There is a services-flake module allowing you to spin the entire nammayatri stack (including postgres, redis, etc.) using a flake app. Similarly, there's one for running load test, which is also run in Jenkins CI.
