nixos / nixos-status

The website showing an overview status of NixOS infra and CI.

The NixOS repository is obsolete!

The NixOS source tree has been merged into the Nixpkgs repository, where it now lives in the nixos subdirectory. Please file NixOS bugs in the Nixpkgs issue tracker using the nixos label.

nixos-status's Issues

'Last updated' field on status.nixos.org does not reflect expected value.

The values in the column ''Last updated' on https://status.nixos.org are computed based on the timestamp in the head commit of the channel. But due to merging it often happens that the timestamp of the head commit is much older than its parent commits, leading confused people to create issues in nixpkgs. See the commits pushed on June 8, 2020 for an example.
In the JSON info gathered through GitHubs API using comitter.date instead of commit.date would give the timestamp of the actual channel push. This would give a proper age indication on status.nixos.org.

Clarify the license status

I just noticed nixos-org-configurations has no license. Shouldn't be too tricky, but we should find everyone who contributed to the status page and get a +1 on making this repo MIT or something.

Need an S3 bucket to be used by channel-diff script

In NixOS/nixos-search#206 I created a script that outputs diff between 2 channels. I'd like to run this on a periodic schedile - daily - via github actions and store this json files somewhere (I thought of S3 bucket).

Finally I would consume this json files in the status.nixos.org frontend.

The website doesn't load information from Prometheus ?

It's stuck for me with:

feature request: show number of queued jobs

to avoid confusion as to why a successfully building channel hasn't advanced
(currently nixpkgs-unstable shows 3 succeeded test jobs in the last 23 hours, but the channel is still 17.64 days old)
would it be possible to show the number of jobs that still need to finish (queued and running?) before the channel advances?

currently that number is quite deeply hidden:
status.nixos.org -> test job for channel -> part of jobset -> queued jobs => number to watch when waiting for a channel to advance

the Channel Status column seems like a suitable place for that number
(instead of showing "Build problem", when no test for that channel fails)
possibly with a link to the queued jobs page for the successfully tested jobset which has the least queued jobs (that hasn't completed)
