Easily deploy webservices using Nix

nixcloud-webservices

This nixpkgs extension, called nixcloud-webservices, focuses on ease of deployment of web-related technologies.

You should continue to read one of these documentations:

• nixcloud.webservices
• nixcloud.reverse-proxy
• nixcloud.email

It features the development stack we use at https://nixcloud.io

Get the source

git clone https://github.com/nixcloud/nixcloud-webservices

Importing

Option A: Importing modules in your local system

You import modules into your local system by adding the path to your configuration.nix to the imports list. Like this:

imports =
[ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
  ./hardware-configuration.nix
  /path/to/nixcloud-webservices/modules
];

Option B: Building a (KVM) VM

If you don't want to clutter your local system you can use a VM:

nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' --arg configuration '{ imports = [ ./modules ./config.nix ]; services.mingetty.autologinUser = "root"; }' -A vm

Note: You have to create config.nix manually, it contains basically the lines we put in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix in previous examples.

Note: This is for advanced users who know how VMs on NixOS work.
