# Nix Package Availability Verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-11-02
|
||||
**Purpose:** Verify all recommended stack components are available in nixpkgs
|
||||
**System:** NixOS/nixpkgs (tested on current stable channel)
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification Status: ✅ ALL PACKAGES AVAILABLE
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Python Packages (Backend)
|
||||
|
||||
All Python packages verified in nixpkgs under `python3Packages.*`:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
ps.fastapi
|
||||
ps.uvicorn
|
||||
ps.sqlalchemy
|
||||
ps.alembic
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
ps.python-multipart
|
||||
ps.httpx
|
||||
])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## System Services (NixOS Modules)
|
||||
|
||||
All services available as NixOS modules:
|
||||
|
||||
| Service | NixOS Module | Config Example | Status |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|----------------|--------|
|
||||
| PostgreSQL 16 | `services.postgresql` | `services.postgresql.enable = true;` | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
| Nginx | `services.nginx` | `services.nginx.enable = true;` | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
| MinIO | `services.minio` | `services.minio.enable = true;` | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration Example:**
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
services.postgresql = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
package = pkgs.postgresql_16;
|
||||
ensureDatabases = [ "webref" ];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
services.nginx = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
recommendedProxySettings = true;
|
||||
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
services.minio = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
dataDir = "/var/lib/minio/data";
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Image Processing Tools
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Nix Package | Purpose | Status |
|
||||
|------|------------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| ImageMagick | `pkgs.imagemagick` | Format conversion, optimization | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
| Pillow (Python) | `python3Packages.pillow` | Thumbnail generation | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation:**
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
buildInputs = [ pkgs.imagemagick ];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend Build Tools
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Nix Package | Purpose | Status |
|
||||
|------|------------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| Node.js | `pkgs.nodejs` | JavaScript runtime | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
| npm | Included with nodejs | Package manager | ✅ Verified |
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend Build with Nix:**
|
||||
Svelte/SvelteKit and npm packages handled via `buildNpmPackage`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# Example frontend build
|
||||
frontend = pkgs.buildNpmPackage {
|
||||
pname = "webref-frontend";
|
||||
version = "1.0.0";
|
||||
|
||||
src = ./frontend;
|
||||
|
||||
npmDepsHash = "sha256-..."; # Generated with nix-hash
|
||||
|
||||
buildPhase = ''
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
'';
|
||||
|
||||
installPhase = ''
|
||||
cp -r build $out
|
||||
'';
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**npm Packages (via npm, integrated with Nix):**
|
||||
- svelte: Managed by npm, built with buildNpmPackage
|
||||
- @sveltejs/kit: Managed by npm, built with buildNpmPackage
|
||||
- konva: Managed by npm, built with buildNpmPackage
|
||||
- vite: Managed by npm, built with buildNpmPackage
|
||||
|
||||
These don't need to be in nixpkgs individually - `buildNpmPackage` handles npm dependencies automatically and reproducibly.

|
||||
## Package Manager
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Nix Package | Purpose | Status |
|
||||
|------|------------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| uv | `pkgs.uv` | Fast Python package manager | ✅ Already in shell.nix |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Special Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. npm Packages (Svelte, Konva, Vite)
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Handled by `buildNpmPackage`
|
||||
|
||||
npm packages don't need to be individually in nixpkgs. Nix provides `buildNpmPackage` which:
|
||||
- Reads `package.json` and `package-lock.json`
|
||||
- Fetches all npm dependencies
|
||||
- Builds the project reproducibly
|
||||
- Creates a nix store entry
|
||||
|
||||
This approach is **recommended** and widely used in the Nix ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Python Package Versions
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ All compatible versions available
|
||||
|
||||
All Python packages are available for both Python 3.12 and 3.13. The project will use Python 3.12 (stable) from nixpkgs.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. NixOS Services
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ All have pre-built modules
|
||||
|
||||
PostgreSQL, Nginx, and MinIO all have well-maintained NixOS modules with extensive configuration options. No custom configuration needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. uv Package Manager
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Already in your shell.nix
|
||||
|
||||
`uv` is available in nixpkgs and already configured in your existing `shell.nix`. It integrates well with Nix for development workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative Options (If Needed)
|
||||
|
||||
If any component were unavailable (none are), fallback strategies:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Custom Derivation:** Write a Nix expression to build from source
|
||||
2. **Overlay:** Add custom packages via Nix overlays
|
||||
3. **FHS Environment:** Use `buildFHSUserEnv` for non-Nix packages (not needed here)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **100% of the recommended stack is available in nixpkgs or via Nix-compatible build tools.**
|
||||
|
||||
**No custom derivations needed.**
|
||||
**No workarounds required.**
|
||||
**All components battle-tested in NixOS.**
|
||||
|
||||
The recommended stack (Svelte + Konva + FastAPI + PostgreSQL + MinIO) is fully supported by the Nix ecosystem and can be deployed using standard Nix tooling.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Step: Update shell.nix
|
||||
|
||||
Your current `shell.nix` can be extended to include all development dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
|
||||
|
||||
pkgs.mkShell {
|
||||
packages = [
|
||||
# Keep existing
|
||||
(pkgs.python3.withPackages (
|
||||
ps: builtins.attrValues {
|
||||
inherit (ps)
|
||||
setuptools
|
||||
# Add backend packages
|
||||
fastapi uvicorn
|
||||
sqlalchemy alembic
|
||||
pydantic python-jose passlib
|
||||
pillow boto3 python-multipart
|
||||
pytest pytest-cov pytest-asyncio;
|
||||
}
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
# Keep existing
|
||||
pkgs.uv
|
||||
|
||||
# Add new packages
|
||||
pkgs.nodejs
|
||||
pkgs.imagemagick
|
||||
pkgs.postgresql
|
||||
pkgs.ruff
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
buildInputs = [ ];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This gives you a fully functional development environment with all dependencies!
