Improve nixos flake installation

Closed this issue · 3 comments

The actual nix flake is great, but it can not be used as is.

After cloning the repo, one either have to:

  • 1, move the flake.nix file to project root,
  • 2, or to change the relative paths inside the flake.nix

If you want to keep the root clean,
I suggest we change relative paths so the flake can be installed with

 darkfi.url = "github:darkrenaissance/darkfi?dir=contrib";

and no further manipulations.

Or just move flake.nix to the project root

I can pull btw

Hey @pipelight !

Contrib folder contains stuff that are not related to source code, like distros deps setup, docker images, etc. etc., so yeah we want to keep them out of repo root.

I'm not a nix user, so I can't really comment on the flake quality, but I see some apps are outdated compared to current master. So feel free to create a PR using the proposed relative path, and updating rest contents. It would also be nice if you could verify the whole file integrity, by checking everything works as it should.
