Github CI now builds my NixOS starter template.

Next, I’m looking into a GitHub bot to automatically update my flake and merge it only if the build passes.

I found this to be super cool. How is this not the future of Linux?

Edits:

  • Just learning about the Determinate Systems Update Flake Lock Github Action. Looks like I won’t have to write anything myself!
  • Adding Cachix to the mix should greatly speed things up, u/One-Triggy-Boi left some good examples below.
