Raider.IO

Raider.IO is a companion tool for World of Warcraft that synchronizes Mythic+ scores, raid progression, and character database information directly into the game's addon directories.

Installation

Standard (Once merged into Nixpkgs)

The package is tracked in PR #565124. Once merged, add it to your configuration:

environment.systemPackages = [
  pkgs.raiderio-client
];

Before Merge (Using Flakes)

Before the PR is merged, you can pull the package directly from the PR branch:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    nixpkgs-raiderio.url = "github:thebigjc/nixpkgs/add-raiderio-client";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixpkgs-raiderio, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.myhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      modules = [
        ({ pkgs, ... }: {
          environment.systemPackages = [
            nixpkgs-raiderio.legacyPackages.${pkgs.system}.raiderio-client
          ];
        })
      ];
    };
  };
}

Before Merge (Tarball / Channels)

let
  raiderioPkgs = import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/thebigjc/nixpkgs/archive/refs/heads/add-raiderio-client.tar.gz") {};
in {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    raiderioPkgs.raiderio-client
  ];
}

Configuration & Known Issues

Autostart on Boot (Error 127)

The upstream Electron app has an internal "Launch at startup" toggle. In an AppImage/FHS environment on NixOS, this toggle writes a desktop file pointing to the internal, unpatched Nix store binary, causing systemd to fail with exit status 127 on boot.

To enable autostart cleanly on NixOS, do not use the in-app toggle; instead, configure it declaratively (e.g., via Home Manager):

# home.nix
xdg.configFile."autostart/raiderio-client.desktop".text = ''
  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Version=1.0
  Name=Raider.IO
  Comment=Raider.IO startup script
  Exec=raiderio-client --no-sandbox
  StartupNotify=false
  Terminal=false
'';

Configuring Game Paths

The client stores configuration in ~/.config/RaiderIO/config.json. If you run World of Warcraft via Wine/Lutris, your retail path typically resides inside your Wine prefix:

{
  "gameConfigs": {
    "wowretail": {
      "channel": "release",
      "syncMode": "all",
      "syncAmericas": true,
      "syncEurope": true,
      "syncKorea": true,
      "syncTaiwan": true,
      "syncChina": true,
      "wowFolder": "/home/<user>/Games/battlenet/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft/_retail_"
    },
    "wowclassic": { "channel": "release", "syncMode": "all", "syncAmericas": true, "syncEurope": true, "syncKorea": true, "syncTaiwan": true, "syncChina": true, "wowFolder": "" },
    "wowera": { "channel": "release", "syncMode": "all", "syncAmericas": true, "syncEurope": true, "syncKorea": true, "syncTaiwan": true, "syncChina": true, "wowFolder": "" },
    "wowforever": { "channel": "release", "syncMode": "all", "syncAmericas": true, "syncEurope": true, "syncKorea": true, "syncTaiwan": true, "syncChina": true, "wowFolder": "" }
  }
