[https://www.archon.gg Archon] (formerly the Warcraft Logs Uploader) is the official desktop companion app by RPGLogs for uploading combat logs and live-logging encounters in ''World of Warcraft''.

== Installation ==

=== Standard (Once merged into Nixpkgs) ===
The package is tracked in [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/565125 PR #565125]. Once merged, add it to your configuration:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.archon
];
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Before Merge (Using Flakes) ===
Before the PR is merged, you can pull the package directly from the PR branch:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
# flake.nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
nixpkgs-archon.url = "github:thebigjc/nixpkgs/add-archon";
};

outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixpkgs-archon, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.myhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
modules = [
({ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.systemPackages = [
nixpkgs-archon.legacyPackages.${pkgs.system}.archon
];
})
];
};
};
}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Before Merge (Tarball / Channels) ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
let
archonPkgs = import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/thebigjc/nixpkgs/archive/refs/heads/add-archon.tar.gz") {};
in {
environment.systemPackages = [
archonPkgs.archon
];
}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Usage Notes ==
* '''Combat Logging:''' To live-log or upload logs, ensure advanced combat logging is enabled in WoW: <code>/console advancedCombatLogging 1</code>.
* '''Log Location:''' Combat logs are typically written to <code><WoW directory>/_retail_/Logs/WoWCombatLog.txt</code>.
* '''Wayland & Sandbox:''' Archon runs using the Chromium/Electron runtime with <code>--no-sandbox</code> inside an FHS wrapper.
