The Nix CI

[garnix @garnix_io]

Using third-party caches in Nix can lead to RCE and privilege escalation. More at: https://t.co/ov2zs8OAw2

“It works on my machine!”

If you’ve ever uttered those words, then come & learn about Nix. Julian Arni joins me this week to discuss the tool that attempts to solve the problem of reproducible builds once and for all...

Gerd Zellweger complained that GitHub Actions kind of suck. We agree, and think Nix is the right way to do CI. Read more here: https://t.co/ebrCr6aPjg

Julian describing out new feature: garnix modules. Check it out!

[Julian Arni @jk_arni]

We're releasing garnix modules today! At first blush, this looks a lot like the type of PaaS you are already familiar with: Heroku, Render, or Fly. You pick a repo, give us a couple of details about it, and we build, test and deploy it. 1/n

We made it possible to do incremental builds in garnix. This can *dramatically* reduce build times. More info in our blog: https://t.co/Ral4lDqfoz

[garnix @garnix_io]

We have an extra ticket to NixCon! Send us a message saying a little about you and your experiences with Nix if you want a chance to get it!

Gabriel Volpe on deploying NixOS servers in minutes: https://t.co/eX2gWlnddi

[garnix @garnix_io]

Can we typecheck functions in NixOS modules? Often enough, yes! https://t.co/ga6KjqmvjF

[garnix @garnix_io]

Want to get started deploying NixOS machines? Without even needing to install Nix? We made it easy! https://t.co/4WO6tyiwLa

[garnix @garnix_io]

We just released cradle, a simpler Haskell process library. Let us know what you think: https://t.co/ODoiUN86mF

@MattSchrage If you need anything specific, ping me (jkarni) on Discord (https://t.co/QzU3SxFANd is our server)

[garnix @garnix_io]

@MattSchrage We haven't been developing it much while we prepare for publicly launching nix hosting, but the intention is to come back to it soon.

[garnix @garnix_io]

Turns out this makes it easier to have "well-behaved" deployments.

[garnix @garnix_io]

What happens when URLs are immutable (and what does that even mean)? https://t.co/Cbd6SCHt8y

[garnix @garnix_io]

The idea is to use URLs that represent everything about a service - what version of the software and all dependencies it has.

[garnix @garnix_io]

This should make a gradual conversion from flakes to garn much easier.

[garnix @garnix_io]

You can now easily import local and external flakes with garn! Blog post https://t.co/fGSW6kEkaV

Let us know what you think!

[garnix @garnix_io]

We just released a new version of garn! https://t.co/NoAncnfkjv

Some highlights:

[garnix @garnix_io]

Several improvements to the Haskell support: a project can have multiple (or no) executables, these are discovered automatically by garn init, and additionally you can now easily override a dependency version.
