There are a few outstanding issues that are keeping me from using it in production but it's pretty stellar as a home system. There are a few companies using it though. Biggest issues I have at the moment relate to secrets/keys not being storable in a sensible way. That and the dev environment is in my opinion so different than the norm that it seems to break some tools like spacemacs and some embedded arm tools in my case
- zopa 8y agoI've had no trouble with spacemacs on nixos: I just let spacemacs manage its own elpa/melpa packages. Works the same as on any other system. What's the issue with keys/secrets you've had?
- bfrog 8y agoThe trouble I had with spacemacs was it didn't see programs that were part of the nix-shell path which was incredibly annoying. As an example having a rust development environment, spacemacs couldn't find cargo, but it was clearly in my shells path.
- jack_jennings 8y agoI am most likely explaining this wrong, but because building derivations are isolated from the global environment variables, any way of accessing configuration options seems like a kludge. We ended up adding a hashicorp vault server to our deployment, but that felt like adding a lot of complexity for a very basic part of the deployment process. A blessed solution for a common setup that doesn’t involve checking in secrets into the repository would be very useful. Better yet, some first-party support through nixos or nixops.
