This article is an overview of resources available both within the NixOS community Wiki and elsewhere. For communication channels, support and information of contributing, see the community menu.
Wiki
The NixOS Wiki's core articles are divided into five categories. Each category link will list all pages in that category:
- Pedias, for encyclopedic description
- Guides, for broad hands-on understanding and connections to other learning resources
- Tutorials, intended to teach a particular process or project
- Cookbooks, collections of tips and tricks
- Reference, material for the nitty gritty details
Pages are also organized by the six most prominent components of the Nix Ecosystem: NixOS, Nix: the package manager, Nix: the language (Nix Expressions), Nixpkgs, NixOps and Hydra.
| Category | NixOS | Nix | Nix Expressions | Nixpkgs | NixOps | Hydra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pedia | NixOS | Nix | Nix Expression Language | Nixpkgs | NixOps | Hydra |
| Cookbook | NixOS Cookbook | Nix Cookbook | Nix Expressions Cookbook | Nixpkgs Cookbook | NixOps Cookbook | Hydra Cookbook |
| Category | NixOS | Nix | Nix Expressions | Nixpkgs | NixOps | Hydra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reference | NixOS Manual | Nix Manual | Nix Manual: Writing Nix Expressions |
Nixpkgs Manual | Nixops Manual | Hydra Manual |
Also, see Applications for an overview of tools in the extended ecosystem.
