Erpnext on NixOS

Cachix

Using the https://pub-solar.cachix.org binary cache:

cachix use pub-solar

Or manually add the following lines to your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:

substituters = https://cache.nixos.org/ https://pub-solar.cachix.org
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= pub-solar.cachix.org-1:ZicXIxKgdxMtgSJECWR8iihZxHRvu8ObL4n2cuBmtos=

Pushing to the https://pub-solar.cachix.org binary cache (in this example, we push the package run-erpnext and its dependencies):

nix develop
nix build --json .#run-erpnext \
  | jq -r '.[].outputs | to_entries[].value' \
  | cachix push pub-solar

NixOS VM

nix build '.#nixosConfigurations.test-vm.config.system.build.vm'
./result/bin/run-nixos-vm

# In the VM, use root & empty password to login
# Watch erpnext startup:
# journalctl -fu erpnext.service
# Open http://localhost:8081 in your browser
# User: Administrator
