+Following <code>flake.nix</code> file helps you spawning a virtual machine running a development environment of Invoiceplane. The local directory <code>/home/user/my_invoiceplane_template</code> containing a modified invoice or quote template will be mounted into the Invoiceplane web app, allowing to change the template and directly render the invoice PDF in the local web server at http://localhost:8080<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
