Usually u can run almost any binary by setting up once a fhs. Or using steam-run

And there's also nix alien and similar tools as alternative

But indeed usually you end up using patchelf , tell the inputs of a binary n just make a regular nix package from it

If containers are safe enough for ur use case then just use nixos containers they just a few more lines to setup in a regular nixos config

If it isn't enough there's microvm.nix which is pretty much the same in difficulty /complexity, but runs inside a very slim and lightweight VM with stronger isolation than a container

I'll likely check out buildbot or just switch to gitlab

I run about 1 action a day taking 18h running on 2 runners One being self hosted 24gb ram 8 core ARM vps and one being a 64gb 13900k x86 dedicated server

Now the GitHub pricing change definitely? costs more than both servers combined a month ... (They cost about 60$ together )

3 step GitHub action builds around 1200 nix packages and derivations , but produces only around 50 lines of logs total if successful and maybe 200 lines of log once when a failure occurs And I'm supposed to pay 4$ a day for that ? Wonder what kind of actual costs are involved on their side of waiting for a runner to complete and storing 50 lines of log

Adding it to the instructions worked well for me with specific terms

And for cloud/dedicated servers perhaps https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere

(There's also a terraform module ) And for state changes https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs Or Colmena /nixops/ and x other

For secret handling perhaps https://github.com/ryantm/agenix/ + https://github.com/oddlama/agenix-rekey

The ecosystem is in my experience very well fleshed out (7 yrs of use), as long as you don't require a knowledgebase/wiki/ up2date documentation, it's not been a issue for me since I could always fall back on Linux knowledge and just looking for how other distributions do x / how the thing itself is configured , and looking at how perhaps a existing nix module wraps that

Nope different companies But they may colocated in the same date centers Hetzner USA is located inside NTT Global Data Centers Americas, Inc. QTS Investment Properties Hillsboro, LLC

There some hetzner resellers which accept crypto coins instead

OVH(and subsidiaries like server 4 you,kimsufi) is the pricing a bit higher but comparable (in some regions) But last time I used ovh Hetzner also didn't require Id verification, maybe they changed since then

Ionos also similarly priced didn't need Id last time I used them

Nix can do it incremental U could split it into multiple derivations which get built into one package For rust there ist the excellent https://crane.dev/index.html project

Or you can also go to the extreme and do 1:1 source to derivation mapping So for example if ur project has 100 source files it could be built from 100 derivations, the language/CLI tools are flexible enough for that

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/distributed-nix-build-split-la... https://discourse.nixos.org/t/per-file-derivations-with-c/19...

Don't know tho if there any well working smart nix tools which can make it well working /efficient, in theory it's very possible, just unsure about practicality/overheads

Attic is sooo wonderful, been using it now for about 6 months on b2 as storage , with the deduplication it's freaking cheap, I'm not sure how much is cached right now but I use it for 6 systems + microvms and b2 bucket stats are

Current Files:364,529,711 Current Size:61.2 GB

And atticd itself runs on the free Ampere oracle instance

Is there a command in attic to show details about the cache ?

1000 annual listens? That's likely less than 1$/mo revenue the artists get no? Even small time musicians I know have about 1000 listens a month

Seems to me just like yt monetization partner program which required like 50€ revenue for payout and 1000 subs+approval for even enabling monetization (some time ago unsure if it's still limited for new accounts )

Unless I'm missing something it mainly just trims out mass produced content

How much is recovery of let's say 500gb a month/1 full restore a year ?
