Welcome to this instance of Nixery, an ad-hoc container image registry that provides
packages from the <a href="https://nixos.org/nix">Nix</a> package manager.
</p>
<p>
You can pull container images from this registry
at <code><span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span></code> by appending any
packages that you need in the URL, separated by slashes.
</p>
<noscript>
<p class="cheddar-callout cheddar-tip">
<strong>NOTE:</strong> When pulling from a private Nixery instance,
replace <code>nixery.dev</code> in the above examples with your registry address.
</p>

<p>
The interactive demo needs Javascript to run, but you can just read the Usage
instructions below instead

<h2><a href="#usage" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="usage"></a>Usage</h2>
<p>
These usage examples assume that you use Docker, but should not be much different for
other OCI-compatible platforms.
</p>
<p>
Pull an image from this registry, separating each package you want included by a
slash:
</p>
<pre style="background-color:#f6f8fa;padding:16px;"><span style="color:#323232;">docker pull <span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span>/shell/git/htop</span></pre>
<p>
This gives you an image with <code>git</code>, <code>htop</code> and an interactively
configured shell. You could run it like this:
</p>
<pre style="background-color:#f6f8fa;padding:16px;"><span style="color:#323232;">docker run -ti <span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span>/shell/git/htop bash</span></pre>
<p>
Each path segment corresponds either to a key in the Nix package set, or a
meta-package that automatically expands to several other packages.
</p>
<p>
Meta-packages <strong>must</strong> be the first path component if they are used.
Currently there are only two meta-packages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>shell</code>, which provides a <code>bash</code>-shell with interactive
configuration and standard tools like <code>coreutils</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>arm64</code>, which provides ARM64 binaries</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a href="#faq" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="faq"></a>FAQ</h2>
<h3>
<a href="#how-does-this-work" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="how-does-this-work"></a>
How does this work?
</h3>
<p>
The short version is that we use the Nix package manager and an optimised
<a href="https://tazj.in/blog/nixery-layers">layering strategy</a>.
</p>
<p>
Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOI9H4oeXqA">the Nixery talk</a>
from NixCon 2019 for more information.

<a href="#should-i-depend-on-nixerydev-in-production" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="should-i-depend-on-nixerydev-in-production"></a>
Should I depend on <code>nixery.dev</code> in production?
</h3>
<p>
While we appreciate the enthusiasm, if you would like to use Nixery in your production
project we recommend setting up a private instance. The public Nixery
at <code>nixery.dev</code> is run on a best-effort basis and we make no guarantees
about availability.

<a href="#who-made-this" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="who-made-this"></a>
Who made this?
</h3>
<p>
Nixery was written by <a href="https://tazj.in">tazjin</a>, originally at Google.
These days Nixery is maintained by <a href="https://tvl.su">TVL</a>.
</p>
<p>
Nixery would not be possible without the many people that have contributed to Nix and
nixpkgs over time, maybe you could become one of them?
