Project mention: Air Force picks Anduril, General Atomics to develop unmanned fighter jets | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-25https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commits?author=neon-sunset
Project mention: Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18It's probably overkill for what you are trying to do. But I have been using home-manager [0] as a way to quickly restore my working environment.
[0] https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/
Example with Nixpacks:
Nix (https://nix.dev/) can provide all of this, although in a smarter way than just through dumping everything in the VCS. Some projects use it already to provide a reproducible development environment and if done right a clean build is just a `nix-build` away.
So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).
This looks nice!
As someone interested in developing a client for it, I'm interested in couple of things: what are the features supported by it currently, the tweak-able configuration that can be passed to it and the various code action available. I like the way nil language server has documented it (https://github.com/oxalica/nil/tree/main/docs). Is there something equivalent available for this ?
Project mention: Can rustc generate identical binaries, with the same hash, from the same souce code? | /r/rust | 2023-06-25
nix-index can be used to provide this functionality, and to automate this process you can use nix-index-database (setup instructions are in the README).
Project mention: Write Guix package definitions in a breeze: Introducing Guix Packager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-26
Project mention: What is there to NixOS that is not just `nix` the package/config/whatever manager? | /r/NixOS | 2023-06-22Easy peasy secure boot with lanzaboote
Pro-tip: use https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland if you want Nvidia support and more frequently updating versions over nixpkgs.
Project mention: NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-26I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!
