Nix Packages

Description

An assortment of Nix packages not in the official collection. They can either be used individually or, if you're on NixOS, imported wholesale using the top-level module.

These are purposefully written without support for overriding in order to minimise complexity. If you want to build upon them I encourage you to fork this repository.

Structure

nixos-module.nix

• The top-level NixOS module containing all package expressions as an overlay, and all package modules. Once imported the overlay contents can be found under pkgs . kernelmaft.

packages/<package-name>/package.nix

• A Nix package expression.

packages/<package-name>/nixos-module.nix

• NixOS module providing additional features for the package in question, such as for example systemd units. Can be imported directly, but is also imported by the top-level module. Not present for all packages.

Examples

Note: You should replace the commits here with the latest one, or whichever one you want to use. The hashes will of course differ.

Using the top-level NixOS module:

imports = [
	( fetchTarball {
		url = "https://kernelmaft.com/forgejo/zedfrigg/nix-packages/archive/f91196c8a4a3ba6953c85b94ea75dee5e331548f.tar.gz" ;
		sha256 = "sha256:1wx7ljabgndandcd11jmr590jfpkhs55mqrgksf24ji90m37wpq0" ;
	} + "/nixos-module.nix" )
] ;

Using a specific package expression:

pkgs . callPackage ( import ( pkgs . fetchurl {
	url = "https://kernelmaft.com/forgejo/zedfrigg/nix-packages/raw/commit/c45884c66f31f8d8d80866bebc13e9e963e02a70/packages/python3.11-django-imagekit/package.nix" ;
	hash = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=" ;
} ) ) {}
