This is really interesting! Do you need a full NixOS configuration to deploy? Or is it possible to deploy projects that just use Nixpkgs?
If it requires some migration, would love to see a guide on how to wrap a Nixpkgs project in a barebones NixOS config
- kodefant 4y agoHi! Thanks :) Yes, it requires a Nix flake with NixOS configuration to run the server itself, but the Barebones starter configuration is very minimal. If I understand you correctly, I think the "Migration" starter should work with a "Barebones" preset. Then you could "shipnixify" the project so it can be hosted on Shipnix. Then it would only require the work of figuring out how to migrate the project away from the nixpks paradigm. If you know of any code examples of nixpkgs code out in the open that I could look at for making a guide on how to implement it on Shipnix, let me know :) I would very much like to make a guide like this!
