nicolasguilloux/gitlab-nix-shell repository overview

⁠Gitlab Nix Shell

This Docker image implements Nix and uses the shell.nix file at the root of the project to load all the dependencies needed.

This aims only Gitlab CI as it is a pain to use nix-shell with the current CI configuration.

⁠Usage

In Gitlab, create a CI yaml file and use it like following.

image: nicolasguilloux/gitlab-nix-shell:20.09

test:
  script:
    - something

It will load the shell.nix file at the root of your project. Here is an example to use the hugo software from the unstable branch and the asciidoctor from the stable branch.

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, unstable ? import <nixpkgs-unstable> {} }:

pkgs.mkShell {
  buildInputs = [
    unstable.hugo
    pkgs.asciidoctor
  ];
}

⁠Available channels

There are 2 channels available for now:

• nixpkgs: uses the 20.09 channel
• nixpkgs-unstable: uses the unstable channel
