tritonshell

a nix dev & ops shell for triton and manta

0. If you're already on NixOS and / or have worked with flakes before, jump to 2.

1. Install nix, the package manager

   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. Optional: Adjust ./flake.nix to match domains and data centers of your Triton Data Center setup. Look for the CUSTOMIZE comment.

Greenbaum Cloud users skip this step, everything's preconfigured.

vim ./flake.nix

4. Ready to go:

nix develop

Optional: If you'd like to add additional packages to your new tritonshell, 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.
