nim-dagger/nix

Usage

Shell

A development shell can be started using:

nix develop

Building

To build a Codex you can use:

nix build '.?submodules=1#default'

The ?submodules=1 part should eventually not be necessary. For more details see: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4423

It can be also done without even cloning the repo:

nix build 'git+https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex?submodules=1#'

Running

nix run 'git+https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex?submodules=1#''

Testing

nix flake check ".?submodules=1#"

Running Nim-Codex as a service on NixOS

Include nim-codex flake in your flake inputs:

inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
    nim-codex-flake.url = "git+https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex?submodules=1#";
};

To configure the service, you can use the following example:

services.nim-codex = {
   enable = true;
   settings = {
       data-dir = "/var/lib/codex-test";
   };
};

The settings attribute set corresponds directly to the layout of the TOML configuration file used by nim-codex. Each option follows the same naming convention as the CLI flags, but with the -- prefix removed. For more details on the TOML file structure and options, refer to the official documentation: nim-codex configuration file.
