What?

The NixOS Wiki is a community-run project to collect documentation for NixOS users.

NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs software repository. All three are part of the Nix ecosystem.

Why?

The original NixOS wiki was shut down.

We felt that the NixOS manual, Nixpkgs manual, Nix manual, nix.dev are all excellent but not the medium of choice for many situations.

The nix-users Wiki was too limiting with regards to wiki features, so we set up this wiki.

See The history of the NixOS wikis for more information.

-The NixOS Wiki is a community-run project to document the [[Nix Ecosystem]]. [[NixOS]] is a Linux distribution which is created with the [[Nix]] package manager as its foundation. NixOS relies upon the extensive [[Nixpkgs]] package repository, which is one of the largest and most up-to-date package sources in the Linux world. The Nix ecosystem also includes tools like [[Hydra]], for continuous integration testing, and [[NixOps]], for deploying NixOS machines to networks and clouds (e.g. EC2, GCE, and Azure).
