Templates

base A basic project template
base-dev A basic project template targeted at development
base-kube A basic project template with Kubernetes tools

Development

Creating a new template

Use the base template to scaffold a new template:

nix flake new --template .#base NEW_TEMPLATE

Add the template to the list above.

Updating templates

Some of the components need updating from time to time. This section describes the steps to do that.

Upgrade nix-direnv

All templates come with a nix-direnv initialization in .envrc to make sure the generated projects are self-contained. This makes projects usable without installing nix-direnv on the machine manually.

The nix-direnv version in .envrc is pinned, so it needs updating from time to time.

Run the following command to update nix-direnv to a specific version:

update-envrc 2.1.2

Review the changes then commit, push and open a PR.
