Nix in the Wild
Nix in the Wild is a series where we interview users of Nix and ask them about their journey. We want to know about the good moments and the bad, and we want to tell it like it is. What makes users choose Nix? How long does it take for them to get their colleagues onboard? What do they learn along the way? In this quick talk, Ross from Flox will go over a few of the most amazing stories from Nix in the Wild (rawr!)...and let you know how we can help you tell yours.
An intro to repeatable environments with flox
Using flox, you can create multiple environments that each contain their own set of packages, hooks, and vars. Everything is declarative, so your environment will be the same across platforms, projects, and time. If you’ve ever said "but it worked on my machine, you must have the wrong version of libwhatever", flox was built for you.
In this talk, Ross Turk will walk you through the key subcommands and interactions of flox, then give you a bit of a peek under the covers at the power that lies beneath.
