#+title: The basics of Nix package manager
#+date: "2021-06-05 12:34:49 +08:00"
Update wiki on various topics This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless, it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the following topics: - Learning - Writing - Various Linux-related stuff I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so ehhh... Better have those than nothing? Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls. Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden.

* Components of the package manager
Holistically, Nix is made up of at least four components: the store, the language, the derivations, and the sandbox.
- The store is a immutable centralized location where all of the outputs are placed.
- The derivations are essentially build instructions.
- The language (also called as Nix but we'll refer to it as Nixlang) is a domain-specific language for creating derivations.
- The build process can be locked in a sandbox, improving the reproducibility of a setup and lowering the attack surface for a malicious package.
Add notes on various programs and Udacity program Mainly on the SUSE cloud native fundamentals scholarship program from Udacity along with various CLI programs I learnt to use over the days trying to complete it piecewise... Offhand comment, it is pretty nice so far.
2021-06-13 04:20:18 +00:00
* Overlays
You can override values in Nix as a way to customize nixpkgs.
For example, if you want to use a different version from the nixpkgs channel, you can change the appropriate value.
#+begin_src nix
let overlay = self: super:
{
ncmpcpp = super.ncmpcpp.override { visualizerSupport = true; };
}
#+end_src
Update my notebook Most of them are random updates. Also moving up to Lesson 5 from the SUSE Cloud native fundamentals program.

For another example, you can see some examples from [[https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/f695457f815544d0dc16469569c70556e3165bb6/contrib/flake.nix][Neovim]] and [[https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/tree/685f4971ac0deb31b301e9d2bc0201d2531fd895/nix][Veloren]] (which also uses Nix flakes).

You can set overlays automatically either by setting =nixpkgs.overlays= from your system configuration or =~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/= folder for user-specific settings.
You could also set overlays for standalone Nix code similarly through the =overlays= key — e.g., ~import <nixpkgs> ? { overlays = (self: super: { } ); };~.

Nix throws a bunch of traditional concepts behind as well as pioneers a bunch of things creating a steeper learning curve.
The [[https://nixos.org/learn][official documentation]] for Nix is pretty great at covering ground of all Nix stuff which makes it good as a reference but horrible for a newbie who wants to gain a quick overview of what Nix is all about.
So I'll list a bunch of resources that helped me becoming comfortable with the Nix thing.

- If you want an introduction to Nix, the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGI9KQ3_HP_OFRG6R-p4iFgMSK1t5BHs][Nixology]] video series is a great primer starting with [[https://youtu.be/6iVXaqUfHi4][this video]].
You don't have to watch through the whole playlist but it also gives practical starter points such as [[https://youtu.be/q8bZy9kuzEY][demystifying Nixpkgs]] and [[https://youtu.be/qYGo9QYNVpM][the standard library]] which you'll need you know once you've started packaging with Nix.
I really recommend this series, it's pretty great!

A good first reading section after installation is [[https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#ch-running][how to administer your NixOS installation]] and [[https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#chap-package-management][its package management process]].

Update wiki on various topics This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless, it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the following topics: - Learning - Writing - Various Linux-related stuff I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so ehhh... Better have those than nothing? Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls. Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden.

- If you want to keep up-to-date with the community, you might want to hang out in the [[https://discourse.nixos.org/][official forum]].
If you want realtime help, you can go to the IRC channel =#nix= at =libera.chat=.
The Nix community knows that its documentation is lagging so they're pretty open to newbies asking for help that could've been easily missed.
Update notebook on 2021-06-30 Notes on Nix, Flatpak, and mpc are here. They're just drafts and yet I added them into the Git worktree. I'll complete them someday ;p

- What about if you're now comfortable with Nix (or NixOS) and now looking for more ways to use its power (i.e., packaging some applications)?

+ The [[https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills][beloved Nix pills series]] and the [[https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable][nixpkgs manual]] is a great starting point especially if you're starting to contribute to the [[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/][official package set]].
Update notes on the cloud computing course and Nix Was able to finally pass through the ArgoCD installation among other things. I also updated more exercises to tangle my solutions into a file.
