When: December 18, 2024 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q&A)

Topic: NixOS, Part 1: The Nix Ecosystem

Speakers: Zachary Lieb

Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

We will not be live streaming as the YouTube the live streams have been

using Jitsi's recording feature.

Summary:

An overview of the Nix ecosystem. Details of the OS at the January
2025 meeting.

Abstract:

Zachary begins with an overview of the Nix ecosystem of tools for making
software deployments more reproducible, including Nixlang, a
domain-specific-language that all other Nix tools are configured in;
Nix-Shell, an ephemeral shell for a reproducible development
environment; Disko, a tool for declaratively describing disk partitions
and filesystem; Home-Manager, a tool to declaratively configure a user's
home directory; and Nixpkgs, one of the largest, most up-to-date
software repositories in the world.

He then shows an example of how he used Nixpkgs to replace the use of
traditional package managers in an install script in a real-world
software project. This expanded the amount of distros supported while
simultaneously reducing
