Applications/ru

This article lists applications built for and with Nix; it constitutes a listing of what may be called the Extended Nix Ecosystem (see Nix Ecosystem for the Core Nix Ecosystem).

If you are looking for Linux software/applications you should look at Software or its sub-article Applications.

Non-NixOS Distributions

Various applications built on top of Nix:

• not-os - build a system firmware for embedded devices

Built with Nix

Projects which leverage Nix.

• styx - Static site generator in Nix expression language
• bionix - manage and execute bioinformatics pipelines
• ethereum.nix - A collection of Nix packages and NixOS modules designed to make it easier to operate Ethereum related services and infrastructure
• nixos-mailserver - A complete and Simple NixOS Mailserver

Nix Platform

Projects which add support (e.g. for extra platforms or major capabilities) to Nix.

• nix-darwin - NixOS modules for Darwin
• musnix - real-time audio modules for NixOS
• nixGl - A wrapper to run OpenGL applications outside of NixOS

Nix Tooling

Various tools built for working with the Nix Ecosystem (e.g. enhancements or alternatives to core Nix tools).

General configuration

Debugging

• dwarffs - Fetches DWARF debug info files for gdb automatically from cache.nixos.org
• nixseparatedebuginfod - Fetches debug symbols and source files for debuginfod-capables tools like gdb

Search

• nix-index - Quickly locate nix packages with specific files
• nix-du - Find which gc-roots take disk space in a nix store
• nix-info - Homebrew info querying for Nix
• userscan - Scans directories containing manually compiled programs and registers them with the Nix garbage collector
• nix-search-cli - CLI for searching packages on search.nixos.org

Shell

• nix-bash-completions - Bash completion for nix* commands
• nixos-shell (Mic92) - Spawns lightweight nixos vms in a shell (like vagrant)
• nixos-shell (chrisfarms) - like nix-shell, but for NixOS modules. Buildable version can be found in this fork
• extra-container - Run declarative NixOS containers from the command line. Similar to nixos-shell (chrisfarms)

Other

• nix-bundle - package Nix attributes into single-file executables.
• nix-user-chroot - install Nix as an unpriviliged user on any system
• nh - a rewrite of nixos-rebuild featuring diffs with nvd and a tree of builds with nix-output-manager, as well as other quality of life features such as package searching.

Additional inofficial ecosystem

None of the services are required to use Nix. None of these services are affiliated with the NixOS Foundation.

Cachix

binary caches as a service. Free for public caches, subscription for private token-protected caches.

Hercules CI

simplify your CI setup with stateless build agents. Free for open source, per-user subscription for private repositories.

Garnix

nix CI, caching (open beta) and cloud hosting (private alpha) based on Nix as a service. Currently free, but offers commerical plans.

nixbuild.net

remote Nix builders as a service for x86_64 and AArch64. Pay-per-use.
