We bumbled the scheduling of an earlier presentation about git worktree that a
few co-workers attended. In efforts to amend this failure we decided to
schedule a new presentation about nix (language, flakes, package manager,
and operating system). In order to provide something "tangible" for the
engineers I set up this repository with a very simple HTTP server (spawns on a
random port and responds to any request with a 200).
If you already have the nix package manager installed and/or are using NixOS
and are using nix>=2.4 (for flake support) then running this server is as
easy as
nix run github:johnrichardrinehart/ArdanLabsNixDemoOtherwise, if you have a compatible operating system you can try to grab nix-portable and execute like the following
curl -L -o nix-portable https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable/releases/download/v008/nix-portable
chmod +x ./nix-portable
./nix-portable nix run github:johnrichardrinehart/ArdanLabsNixDemoNote: As of time of writing nix flakes are still an experimental (yet stable)
feature. To use them it may be necessary to modify the above command to
./nix-portable nix run github:johnrichardrinehart/ArdanLabsNixDemo -extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes
