[BLU] NixOS: Reproducible Builds and Deployments
Channel: bostonlinuxandunix
Date: 2022-10-23

(Wed, Oct 19, 2022) Benjamin Kallus gives an overview of NixOS and the Nix package manager.

With Nix, a build process only has access to dependencies that have been declared explicitly. So if a build succeeds, you know you've specified all necessary dependencies.

The same build process specification can be used to start a development environment (optionally augmented with additional development tools).

User group meeting of Boston Linux & UNIX on Wednesday, October 19, 2022.
