<p>I've been a Nix user for about a year, starting with its package manager on my previously installed Linux distribution.</p>
|

<p>I started to use Home Manager for my user configuration and dotfiles and later switched to the NixOS operating system.</p>

<h2 id="using-nix-for-software-development">Using Nix for software development</h2>
|

<p>I've also been using Nix Flakes for per-project configuration.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A Flake file is a simple file written in the Nix language that defines the project's dependencies and installs them from the Nix package manager.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Here is an example Flake for a PHP CLI application:</p>
|

|

<pre><code class="nix">{
|
||
inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
|
||
|

outputs = inputs@{ flake-parts, ... }:
|

flake-parts.lib.mkFlake { inherit inputs; } {
|
||
systems = [ "x86_64-linux" ];
|

perSystem = { config, self', inputs', pkgs, system, ... }: {

devShells = {

default = pkgs.mkShell {

buildInputs = with pkgs; [ php82 php82Packages.composer ];

<p>It declares that PHP 8.2 and Composer are available, even if I have different versions installed globally.</p>

<h2 id="will-nix-replace-docker%3F">Will Nix replace Docker?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Nix and Flakes have replaced Docker for me on some projects.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If I have a simple setup and need a specific version of PHP or Node and some additional programs, I can get those from the Flake.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I don't know if it'll replace Docker for me completely and work on more complex projects, but it's working well for me where I'm using it.</p>
