Reproducible Linux Systems with Nix & NixOS
Speakers:
Florian Pester (Cyberus Technology)
Scheduled time: Sun, 17:00 - Room V6 - Duration 60 Min.
Did you ever try to do something on Linux, ask for advise and heard: “But it works on my machine”? Usually what follows is a long and tedious debugging session, just to find that a dependency has been forgotten somewhere. With Nix & NixOS these problems are in the past. Nix enables fully reproducible software packages by isolating all builds and enforcing all dependencies and build steps to be declared. NixOS takes this approach to the whole system level: With a fully declarative system configuration your whole linux becomes reproducible. In this talk we will take a spin through the Nix & NixOS ecosystem to help you get started on your journey.
