# Nixlets
|
||||
|
||||
This repository contains utilities for creating Nixlets and a collection of Nixlets. \
|
||||
Nixlets are kinda like Helm Charts but they are defined using Kubenix and the Nix language. \

Nixlets are kinda like Helm Charts, but they are defined using Kubenix and the Nix language. \

\
|
||||
One can import the Flake and use the renderNixlet function to turn values (like in Helm) into Kubernetes manifests in YAML.
|
||||
One can load Nixlets either via Nix Flakes or by fetching a tarball
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Nixlets
|
||||
Nixlets need a `default.nix` and a `values.nix` (a `nixlet.nix` containing the metadata is also recommended). \
|
||||
Check out the existing [nixlets](./nixlets/) to understand how they work. \
|
||||
There is also a bare bones [template](./template/).

|
||||
### Using/rendering Nixlets
|
||||
To render nixlets you only need to import the nixlets-lib:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputs.nixlet-lib.url = "gitlab:TECHNOFAB/nixlets?dir=lib";
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nixlets stored in the Gitlab Package Registry
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
(nixlet-lib.fetchNixletFromGitlab {
|
||||
project = "TECHNOFAB/nixlets";
|
||||
name = "<nixlet>";
|
||||
version = "<version>";
|
||||
sha256 = "<sha>";
|
||||
}).render {
|
||||
inherit system;
|
||||
# values = {};
|
||||
# project = "";
|
||||
# overrides = ({...}: {});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Nixlets fetchable from arbitrary URLs
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
(nixlet-lib.fetchNixlet "<URL>" "<sha>").render {
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metadata
|
||||
Metadata of the Nixlets can also easily be accessed if needed:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
(<some nixlet>).description # version, name, etc.
|
||||
```
