Software Development on NixOS
NixOS is awesome for packaging existing software, with helpers for many common build systems.
From an operators’s perspective, it really shines with composing software. How about the developer’s perspective?
Nix is a programming language so it should be able to adapt to many use cases.
A developer wanting to use Nix from the ground floor up, may care about various questions:
- What tools are there to support software development?
- What about support for non - NixOS developers?
- How to use Nix as a build system?
- How to do the pipeline to production?
We’ll take an overview of various development tools, based on Nix and NixOS:
- flake direnv
- numtide/devshell
- devenv
- flox
- nixos-container
