Has anyone successfully deployed #Bonfire using #NixOS?

fix-python is a brillaint tool for python devs on nixos!

Been fighting nix-shell for weeks now trying to handle python virtual environments "the nix way" and it's so incredibly problematic. Fix-python script just patches every binary in the virtualenv to point directly to nix resources - simple and just works™

#2yearlinuxchallenge 2 Weeks into #NixOS

I wrote down a few of my thoughts on #NixOS

Changing these 4 #NixOS config files was all I needed to:

1. build my qrbill program as part of my NixOS config
2. deploy qrbill as a systemd service with my usual security hardening settings for Go web servers
3. install nginx and make it reverse proxy to the qrbill service
4. set up LetsEncrypt to automatically obtain an HTTPS certificate

It’s a very pleasant level of abstraction IMHO :)

I plan to publish a blog post with such config patterns as I refine them…

Hey y'all !

I packaged one of my favourite childhood games, Boulder Dash for Nix. Do you guys think there's any interest to make it an official package?
It's called gdash, and it's a close-to-the-original remake!

Might try to deploy nixos on a server with remote deployment and remote luks unlock and shit. If I’m feeling adventurous I might do it on a arm64 server.

But first a pnp writing session

GCing hundrets of rust crates, dozens of VM images,... that's a real development machine! #nixos #nixpkgs

I just deleted 100 #nixos generations. Big time GC incoming...

i'm following [1] to nixos-rebuild to a remote target-host at a specific version of nixpkgs distinct from my local version, however i end up with a remote system that doesn't know its own nixpkgs revision; i.e. similar to [2] sans the use of flakes ... still trying to track it down, but curious if anybody already knows what the problem is?
