### a nix dev & ops shell for [triton](https://www.joyent.com/triton/compute) and [manta](https://www.joyent.com/triton/object-storage)
[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/pIGfe11qb3r33WstkkFW7BSuF.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/pIGfe11qb3r33WstkkFW7BSuF)
0. If you're already on NixOS and / or have worked with `flakes` before, jump to **2.**
1. [Install nix, the package manager](https://nixos.org/download.html)
1. Now, make sure you're ready to `nix` with flakes, this should give you
some output:
```
nix flake --help
```
2. Otherwise, proceed to enable flakes (still an experimental feature in
`nix`):
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Installing_flakes
2. Get this nix flake template, it will be setup in a new directory
`./tritonshell` (feel free to adjust this):
```
nix flake new --template "git+https://git.greenbaum.cloud/dev/tritonshell?ref=main" ./tritonshell
cd tritonshell
```
3. Ready to go:
```
nix develop
```
**Optional**:
If you'd like to customize your new tritonshell with additional packages, you
can do so: just edit `flake.nix` and look for `extraDevshellPkgs`. Packages
added here will be pulled from the `nixos-unstable` channel, you can [search
for available packages here](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=hello).
