I'm particularly excited about this idea. As I was reading Graham's "Erase your
darlings" blog post, I had an idea: I should have playbooks at the root of my
monorepo.
I can have playbooks for the following:
- How to install NixOS
- How to build GCR images from Nix expressions
- A collection of miscellaneous shell commands (e.g. "how to kill a process by name")
- What series of steps should I follow when I receive a paycheck
I already keep README's at the root of each package, which I think is where many
of these instructions belong. Other tutorials that I write for myself that do
not belong to any package can go in //playbooks. I also will host my personal
habits in //playbooks since habits are a bit like playbooks for life. Let's see
how this idea ages as the caffeine wears off...
I create //deploy when I first deployed a few applications that I
packaged with Nix. This was before I setup socrates as my "cloud". Now I
deploy all of my services using NixOS. The name "deploy" is a bit stale.
I'm renaming it //nix_gcr because it documents how I can deploy
Nix-packaged projects on Google Cloud Run.
