Summary
This adds a flake.nix to our repo for building and distributing Devbox. This will make it easier for developers who install Devbox with Nix to use pre-releases, and keep Devbox up-to-date on their system.
This changes our workflow in a few small ways:
go.mod
changes, we'll need to rundevbox run update-hash
to update the vendorHash for the flake. You can also run this script when you rungo mod tidy
cli-tests
that will build the flake. I've confirmed that it will fail if the vendorHash is out of date or incorrectnix flake update
to update the flake.lock file.How was it tested?
nix build .
in the Devbox repo, confirmed that the resulting build worked
