versatus.nix

A Nix flake for the Versatus Labs ecosystem which provides reproducible build guarantees for Versatus binaries and development environments for building Versatus repositories on supported systems.

Prerequisites

Nix is a package manager with a focus on reproducibility and reliability. To get started, choose an installation type at https://nixos.org/download.

Nixpkgs

For the Nix package manager on non-NixOS distributions, add the following to /etc/nix/nix.conf:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

NixOS

For the Nix operating system, add the following to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

Quick Start

First, ensure your system is listed under Supported Systems.

To enter a temporary development shell with nix develop:

nix develop .#protocol-dev
