Nixery's previous landing page was an mdBook that was basically unmaintained and full of incorrect information. It also duplicated some things (like nix-1p) which actually live elsewhere. This commit removes the mdBook completely and reduces it down to a simple TVL-style landing page. The landing page has been checked in in its entirety because Nixery is frequently cloned through josh without the entirety of depot, however the page has been created by building it through depot's //web/tvl/template.

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>

|
<strong>NOTE:</strong> When pulling from a private Nixery instance,
|
|
replace <code>nixery.dev</code> in the above examples with your registry address.

The interactive demo needs Javascript to run, but you can just read the Usage

<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>

How does this work?

The short version is that we use the Nix package manager and an optimised

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.

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?
