An experiment to make Nix ecosystem news more accessible.
If you are using direnv, run direnv allow after cloning
this repository to automatically enable the development shell. If you are not
using direnv, then you must manually run nix develop in after cloning this
repository in order to activate the development shell.
The development shell provides the following packages:
- NodeJS
- Bun
Node is used for normal development tasks, but Bun is used to execute tools/* scripts
due to Node choking on some useful features. Ideally we would switch over to Bun fully,
but there isn't currently a Nix builder for projects using bun.lockb files.
To start developing, run npm install to get dependencies and then npm run dev to start
the development server.
This project is intended to be consumed by a NixOS system. First, add this repository as an input to your flake.
{
description = "My Nix flake";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";
nixpkgs-news = {
url = "github:jakehamilton/nixpkgs.news";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
}Then you can serve the website's files statically using a server like nginx in your system configuration.
{
inputs, # Make the nixpkgs-news input available in your configuration.
...
}:
{
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
virtualHosts."example.com" = {
locations."/" = {
root = inputs.nixpkgs-news.packages.nixpkgs-news;
};
};
};
}
