Nix and NixOS Hacking Session
Details
Due to great interest and requests from our group members to increase meeting frequency we have decided to test a new concept within the framework of the Greater Copenhagen NixOS User Group: NixOS Hacking Session
We will create a temporary pop-up NixOS hackerspace in PROSAs premises. It will be mostly fun & games, with focus on BYOP (Bring Your Own Project). Join us - and lets make this new concept a success from the beginning!
Why NixOS?
NixOS The Purely Functional Linux Distribution
NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager ( nixos.org/nix ), it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages ( nixos.org/nixos/about.html ).
Declarative
NixOS has a completely declarative approach to configuration management: you write a specification of the desired configuration of your system in NixOS’s modular language, and NixOS takes care of making it happen.
Reliable
NixOS has atomic upgrades and rollbacks. It’s always safe to try an upgrade or configuration change: if things go wrong, you can always roll back to the previous configuration.
