Development shell

The development shell makes it easy to get all of the dependencies needed to interact with the homelab.

Prerequisites

Info

NixOS users can skip this step.

Install Nix using one of the following methods:

• Official Nix installer
• Determinate Nix Installer

If you're using the official installer, add the following to your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf to enable Flakes:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

How to open it

Run the following command:

nix develop

It will open a shell with all the dependencies defined in ./flake.nix:

[khuedoan@ryzentower:~/Documents/homelab]$ which kubectl
/nix/store/0558zzzqynzw7rx9dp2i7jymvznd1cqx-kubectl-1.30.1/bin/kubectl

Tip

If you have direnv installed, you can run direnv allow once and it will automatically enter the Nix shell every time you cd into the project.
