feat: add nix support - #336
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe project adds Linux Nix packaging through a package derivation and flake outputs. The README and website add ChangesNix distribution
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Nix installation support is limited to Linux, but the documentation does not currently say so; users on Darwin may try the command and be unable to launch the application. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this bounded documentation follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

State that Nix support is Linux-only.
flake.nix exports only aarch64-linux and x86_64-linux. On Darwin, nix run github:bjarneo/cliamp cannot resolve a default app. Label this method as Linux or NixOS support in both locations.

I'm fine with this, but will leave it up to the maintainer to decide how we want to proceed here (if we even want to add Nix support in the first place).

@alexandersix, acknowledged. The finding remains relevant if this pull request keeps the current Linux-only flake outputs. The maintainer can decide whether to retain Nix support and, if retained, label it as Linux or NixOS support.

Summary
This PR adds support for Nix (via
nix runand anix flakefor NixOS installs).No functionality has been changed; I've just added an additional installation option for those of us not using an Arch-based system and want to more easily bundle this into a declarative NixOS configuration.
For what it's worth, this is mostly a convenience for those of us using NixOS -- I'm currently running
cliampvia a local NixOS configuration setup that pulls the most recent binary from GH, but the updates I've made here are much nicer than my current local version.Figured I'd throw the PR up there and see if it's something you're interested in!
