sticker Nix package set

This is a Nix package set for sticker and sticker2. It allows you to install sticker on most Linux distributions, as well as macOS.

The sticker and sticker2 Docker images are also generated using this package set.

Supported nixpkgs releases

We pin nixpkgs to ensure that the packages build on every Nix/NixOS configuration. Consequently, it does not matter whether you use the latest stable version or unstable version of nixpkgs.

Using the repository

One-off installs

One-off package installs can be performed without configuration changes, using e.g. nix-env:

$ nix-env \
  -f https://github.com/stickeritis/nix-packages/archive/master.tar.gz \
  -iA sticker2

Adding the repository

If you want to use multiple packages from the repository or get package updates, it is recommended to add the package set to your local Nix configuration. You can do this be adding the package set to your packageOverrides. To do so, add the following to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix:

{
  packageOverrides = pkgs: {
    sticker = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/stickeritis/nix-packages/archive/master.tar.gz") {};
  };
}

Then the packages will be available as attributes under sticker, e.g. sticker.sticker2.

Pinning a specific revision

Fetching the repository tarball as above will only cache the repository download for an hour. To avoid this, you should pin the repository to a specific revision.

{
  packageOverrides = pkgs: {
    sticker = import (builtins.fetchTarball {
      # Get the archive for commit dde7772
      url = "https://github.com/stickeritis/nix-packages/archive/dde7772b36ce49e31be40a172df5120961d1e0b8.tar.gz";
      # Get the SHA256 hash using: nix-prefetch-url --unpack <url>
      sha256 = "0g7vb42vpivqc5xn9i5z64x7r3b4ijdbgmsc7jrcn9lsmrcjvs93";
    }) {};
  };
}

Binary cache

After each commit, CI uploads builds to cachix. If you want to use this binary cache, follow the steps described at sticker.cachix.org.
