+# pkgs.appimageTools {#sec-pkgs-appimageTools}
+
+`pkgs.appimageTools` is a set of functions for extracting and wrapping [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) files. They are meant to be used if traditional packaging from source is infeasible, or it would take too long. To quickly run an AppImage file, `pkgs.appimage-run` can be used as well.
+
+::: warning
+The `appimageTools` API is unstable and may be subject to backwards-incompatible changes in the future.
+:::
+
+## AppImage formats {#ssec-pkgs-appimageTools-formats}
+
+There are different formats for AppImages, see [the specification](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/blob/74ad9ca2f94bf864a4a0dac1f369dd4f00bd1c28/draft.md#image-format) for details.
+
+- Type 1 images are ISO 9660 files that are also ELF executables.
+- Type 2 images are ELF executables with an appended filesystem.
+
+They can be told apart with `file -k`:
+
+```ShellSession
+$ file -k type1.AppImage
+type1.AppImage: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'AppImage' (Lepton 3.x), scale 0-0,
+spot sensor temperature 0.000000, unit celsius, color scheme 0, calibration: offset 0.000000, slope 0.000000, dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=d629f6099d2344ad82818172add1d38c5e11bc6d, stripped\012- data
+
+$ file -k type2.AppImage
+type2.AppImage: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) (Lepton 3.x), scale 232-60668, spot sensor temperature -4.187500, color scheme 15, show scale bar, calibration: offset -0.000000, slope 0.000000 (Lepton 2.x), scale 4111-45000, spot sensor temperature 412442.250000, color scheme 3, minimum point enabled, calibration: offset -75402534979642766821519867692934234112.000000, slope 5815371847733706829839455140374904832.000000, dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=79dcc4e55a61c293c5e19edbd8d65b202842579f, stripped\012- data
+```
+
+Note how the type 1 AppImage is described as an `ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem`, and the type 2 AppImage is not.
+
+## Wrapping {#ssec-pkgs-appimageTools-wrapping}
+
+Depending on the type of AppImage you're wrapping, you'll have to use `wrapType1` or `wrapType2`.
+
+```nix
+appimageTools.wrapType2 { # or wrapType1
+  name = "patchwork";
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = "https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/releases/download/v3.11.4/Patchwork-3.11.4-linux-x86_64.AppImage";
+    sha256 = "1blsprpkvm0ws9b96gb36f0rbf8f5jgmw4x6dsb1kswr4ysf591s";
+  };
+  extraPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [ ];
+}
+```
+
+- `name` specifies the name of the resulting image.
+- `src` specifies the AppImage file to extract.
+- `extraPkgs` allows you to pass a function to include additional packages inside the FHS environment your AppImage is going to run in. There are a few ways to learn which dependencies an application needs:
+  - Looking through the extracted AppImage files, reading its scripts and running `patchelf` and `ldd` on its executables. This can also be done in `appimage-run`, by setting `APPIMAGE_DEBUG_EXEC=bash`.
+  - Running `strace -vfefile` on the wrapped executable, looking for libraries that can't be found.

+# pkgs.snapTools {#sec-pkgs-snapTools}
+
+`pkgs.snapTools` is a set of functions for creating Snapcraft images. Snap and Snapcraft is not used to perform these operations.
+
+## The makeSnap Function {#ssec-pkgs-snapTools-makeSnap-signature}
+
+`makeSnap` takes a single named argument, `meta`. This argument mirrors [the upstream `snap.yaml` format](https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-format) exactly.
+
+The `base` should not be specified, as `makeSnap` will force set it.
+
+Currently, `makeSnap` does not support creating GUI stubs.
+
+## Build a Hello World Snap {#ssec-pkgs-snapTools-build-a-snap-hello}
+
+The following expression packages GNU Hello as a Snapcraft snap.
+
+```{#ex-snapTools-buildSnap-hello .nix}
+let
+  inherit (import <nixpkgs> { }) snapTools hello;
+in snapTools.makeSnap {
+  meta = {
+    name = "hello";
+    summary = hello.meta.description;
+    description = hello.meta.longDescription;
+    architectures = [ "amd64" ];
+    confinement = "strict";
+    apps.hello.command = "${hello}/bin/hello";
+  };
+}
+```
+
+`nix-build` this expression and install it with `snap install ./result --dangerous`. `hello` will now be the Snapcraft version of the package.
+
+## Build a Graphical Snap {#ssec-pkgs-snapTools-build-a-snap-firefox}
+
+Graphical programs require many more integrations with the host. This example uses Firefox as an example, because it is one of the most complicated programs we could package.
+
+```{#ex-snapTools-buildSnap-firefox .nix}
+let
+  inherit (import <nixpkgs> { }) snapTools firefox;
+in snapTools.makeSnap {
+  meta = {
+    name = "nix-example-firefox";
+    summary = firefox.meta.description;
+    architectures = [ "amd64" ];
+    apps.nix-example-firefox = {
+      command = "${firefox}/bin/firefox";
+      plugs = [

+  };
+}
+```
+
+`nix-build` this expression and install it with `snap install ./result --dangerous`. `nix-example-firefox` will now be the Snapcraft version of the Firefox package.

+Package maintainers may often encounter the following error when building FUSE
+packages on macOS:
+
+    checking for fuse.h... no
+    configure: error: No fuse.h found.
+
+This happens on autoconf based projects that uses `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` or
+`AC_CHECK_LIBS` to detect libfuse, and will occur even when the `fuse` package
+is included in `buildInputs`. It happens because libfuse headers throw an error
+on macOS if the `FUSE_USE_VERSION` macro is undefined. Many proejcts do define
+`FUSE_USE_VERSION`, but only inside C source files. This results in the above
+error at configure time because the configure script would attempt to compile
+sample FUSE programs without defining `FUSE_USE_VERSION`.
+
+There are two possible solutions for this problem in Nixpkgs:
+
+1. Pass `FUSE_USE_VERSION` to the configure script by adding
+   `CFLAGS=-DFUSE_USE_VERSION=25` in `configureFlags`. The actual value would
+   have to match the definition used in the upstream source code.
+2. Remove `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` / `AC_CHECK_LIBS` for libfuse.
+
+However, a better solution might be to fix the build script upstream to use
+`PKG_CHECK_MODULES` instead. This approach wouldn't suffer from the problem that
+`AC_CHECK_HEADERS`/`AC_CHECK_LIBS` has at the price of introducing a dependency
+on pkg-config.

+# Coding conventions {#chap-conventions}
+
+## Syntax {#sec-syntax}
+
+- Use 2 spaces of indentation per indentation level in Nix expressions, 4 spaces in shell scripts.
+
+- Do not use tab characters, i.e. configure your editor to use soft tabs. For instance, use `(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)` in Emacs. Everybody has different tab settings so it’s asking for trouble.
+
+- Use `lowerCamelCase` for variable names, not `UpperCamelCase`. Note, this rule does not apply to package attribute names, which instead follow the rules in <xref linkend="sec-package-naming"/>.
+
+- Function calls with attribute set arguments are written as
+
+  ```nix
+  foo {
+    arg = ...;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  not
+
+  ```nix
+  foo
+  {
+    arg = ...;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Also fine is
+
+  ```nix
+  foo { arg = ...; }
+  ```
+
+  if it's a short call.
+
+- In attribute sets or lists that span multiple lines, the attribute names or list elements should be aligned:
+
+  ```nix
+  # A long list.
+  list = [
+    elem1
+    elem2
+    elem3
+  ];
+
+  # A long attribute set.
+  attrs = {
+    attr1 = short_expr;
+    attr2 =
+      if true then big_expr else big_expr;
+  };
+
+  # Combined
+  listOfAttrs = [
+    {
+      attr1 = 3;
+      attr2 = "fff";
+    }
+    {
+      attr1 = 5;
+      attr2 = "ggg";
+    }
+  ];
+  ```
+
+- Short lists or attribute sets can be written on one line:
+
+  ```nix
+  # A short list.
+  list = [ elem1 elem2 elem3 ];
+
+  # A short set.
+  attrs = { x = 1280; y = 1024; };
+  ```
+
+- Breaking in the middle of a function argument can give hard-to-read code, like
+
+  ```nix
+  someFunction { x = 1280;
+    y = 1024; } otherArg
+    yetAnotherArg
+  ```
+
+  (especially if the argument is very large, spanning multiple lines).
+
+  Better:
+
+  ```nix
+  someFunction
+    { x = 1280; y = 1024; }
+    otherArg
+    yetAnotherArg
+  ```
+
+  or
+
+  ```nix
+  let res = { x = 1280; y = 1024; };
+  in someFunction res otherArg yetAnotherArg
+  ```
+
+- The bodies of functions, asserts, and withs are not indented to prevent a lot of superfluous indentation levels, i.e.
+
+  ```nix
+  { arg1, arg2 }:
+  assert system == "i686-linux";
+  stdenv.mkDerivation { ...
+  ```
+
+  not
+
+  ```nix
+  { arg1, arg2 }:
+    assert system == "i686-linux";
+      stdenv.mkDerivation { ...
+  ```
+
+- Function formal arguments are written as:
+
+  ```nix
+  { arg1, arg2, arg3 }:
+  ```
+
+  but if they don't fit on one line they're written as:
+
+  ```nix
+  { arg1, arg2, arg3
+  , arg4, ...
+  , # Some comment...
+    argN
+  }:
+  ```
+
+- Functions should list their expected arguments as precisely as possible. That is, write
+
+  ```nix
+  { stdenv, fetchurl, perl }: ...
+  ```
+
+  instead of
+
+  ```nix
+  args: with args; ...
+  ```
+
+  or
+
+  ```nix
+  { stdenv, fetchurl, perl, ... }: ...
+  ```
+
+  For functions that are truly generic in the number of arguments (such as wrappers around `mkDerivation`) that have some required arguments, you should write them using an `@`-pattern:
+
+  ```nix
+  { stdenv, doCoverageAnalysis ? false, ... } @ args:
+
+  stdenv.mkDerivation (args // {
+    ... if doCoverageAnalysis then "bla" else "" ...
+  })
+  ```
+
+  instead of
+
+  ```nix
+  args:
+
+  args.stdenv.mkDerivation (args // {
+    ... if args ? doCoverageAnalysis && args.doCoverageAnalysis then "bla" else "" ...
+  })
+  ```
+
+- Arguments should be listed in the order they are used, with the exception of `lib`, which always goes first.
+
+- Prefer using the top-level `lib` over its alias `stdenv.lib`. `lib` is unrelated to `stdenv`, and so `stdenv.lib` should only be used as a convenience alias when developing to avoid having to modify the function inputs just to test something out.
+
+## Package naming {#sec-package-naming}
+
+The key words _must_, _must not_, _required_, _shall_, _shall not_, _should_, _should not_, _recommended_, _may_, and _optional_ in this section are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119). Only _emphasized_ words are to be interpreted in this way.
+
+In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
+
+- The `name` attribute of the derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users see, in particular when using `nix-env`.
+
+- The variable name used for the instantiated package in `all-packages.nix`, and when passing it as a dependency to other functions. Typically this is called the _package attribute name_. This is what Nix expression authors see. It can also be used when installing using `nix-env -iA`.
+
+- The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix expression.
+
+Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package `e2fsprogs` has a `name` attribute `"e2fsprogs-version"`, is bound to the variable name `e2fsprogs` in `all-packages.nix`, and the Nix expression is in `pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix`.
+
+There are a few naming guidelines:
+
+- The `name` attribute _should_ be identical to the upstream package name.
+
+- The `name` attribute _must not_ contain uppercase letters — e.g., `"mplayer-1.0rc2"` instead of `"MPlayer-1.0rc2"`.
+
+- The version part of the `name` attribute _must_ start with a digit (following a dash) — e.g., `"hello-0.3.1rc2"`.
+
+- If a package is not a release but a commit from a repository, then the version part of the name _must_ be the date of that (fetched) commit. The date _must_ be in `"YYYY-MM-DD"` format. Also append `"unstable"` to the name - e.g., `"pkgname-unstable-2014-09-23"`.
+
+- Dashes in the package name _should_ be preserved in new variable names, rather than converted to underscores or camel cased — e.g., `http-parser` instead of `http_parser` or `httpParser`. The hyphenated style is preferred in all three package names.
+
+- If there are multiple versions of a package, this _should_ be reflected in the variable names in `all-packages.nix`, e.g. `json-c-0-9` and `json-c-0-11`. If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like `json-c = json-c-0-9;`. See also <xref linkend="sec-versioning" />
+
+## File naming and organisation {#sec-organisation}
+
+Names of files and directories should be in lowercase, with dashes between words — not in camel case. For instance, it should be `all-packages.nix`, not `allPackages.nix` or `AllPackages.nix`.
+
+### Hierarchy {#sec-hierarchy}
+
+Each package should be stored in its own directory somewhere in the `pkgs/` tree, i.e. in `pkgs/category/subcategory/.../pkgname`. Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package. Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the _primary_ purpose of a package. For example, the `libxml2` package builds both a library and some tools; but it’s a library foremost, so it goes under `pkgs/development/libraries`.
+
+When in doubt, consider refactoring the `pkgs/` tree, e.g. creating new categories or splitting up an existing category.
+
+**If it’s used to support _software development_:**
+
+- **If it’s a _library_ used by other packages:**
+
+  - `development/libraries` (e.g. `libxml2`)

+
+### Versioning {#sec-versioning}
+
+Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a potential maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be kept unless there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs contains several versions of GCC because other packages don’t build with the latest version of GCC. Other examples are having both the latest stable and latest pre-release version of a package, or to keep several major releases of an application that differ significantly in functionality.
+
+If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression should be named `e2fsprogs/default.nix`. If there are multiple versions, this should be reflected in the filename, e.g. `e2fsprogs/1.41.8.nix` and `e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix`. The version in the filename should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they should be named `firefox/2.0.nix` and `firefox/3.5.nix`, respectively (which, at a given point, might contain versions `2.0.0.20` and `3.5.4`). If a version requires many auxiliary files, you can use a subdirectory for each version, e.g. `firefox/2.0/default.nix` and `firefox/3.5/default.nix`.
+
+All versions of a package _must_ be included in `all-packages.nix` to make sure that they evaluate correctly.
+
+## Fetching Sources {#sec-sources}
+
+There are multiple ways to fetch a package source in nixpkgs. The general guideline is that you should package reproducible sources with a high degree of availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring support and that is `fetchurl`. Note that you should also prefer protocols which have a corresponding proxy environment variable.
+
+You can find many source fetch helpers in `pkgs/build-support/fetch*`.
+
+In the file `pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix` you can find fetch helpers, these have names on the form `fetchFrom*`. The intention of these are to provide snapshot fetches but using the same api as some of the version controlled fetchers from `pkgs/build-support/`. As an example going from bad to good:
+
+- Bad: Uses `git://` which won't be proxied.
+
+  ```nix
+  src = fetchgit {
+    url = "git://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
+    rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";
+    sha256 = "1cw5fszffl5pkpa6s6wjnkiv6lm5k618s32sp60kvmvpy7a2v9kg";
+  }
+  ```
+
+- Better: This is ok, but an archive fetch will still be faster.
+
+  ```nix
+  src = fetchgit {
+    url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
+    rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";
+    sha256 = "1cw5fszffl5pkpa6s6wjnkiv6lm5k618s32sp60kvmvpy7a2v9kg";
+  }
+  ```
+
+- Best: Fetches a snapshot archive and you get the rev you want.
+
+  ```nix
+  src = fetchFromGitHub {
+    owner = "NixOS";
+    repo = "nix";
+    rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";
+    sha256 = "1i2yxndxb6yc9l6c99pypbd92lfq5aac4klq7y2v93c9qvx2cgpc";
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Find the value to put as `sha256` by running `nix run -f '<nixpkgs>' nix-prefetch-github -c nix-prefetch-github --rev 1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae NixOS nix` or `nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/nix/archive/1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae.tar.gz`.
+
+## Obtaining source hash {#sec-source-hashes}
+
+Preferred source hash type is sha256. There are several ways to get it.
+
+1. Prefetch URL (with `nix-prefetch-XXX URL`, where `XXX` is one of `url`, `git`, `hg`, `cvs`, `bzr`, `svn`). Hash is printed to stdout.
+
+2. Prefetch by package source (with `nix-prefetch-url '<nixpkgs>' -A PACKAGE.src`, where `PACKAGE` is package attribute name). Hash is printed to stdout.
+
+    This works well when you've upgraded existing package version and want to find out new hash, but is useless if package can't be accessed by attribute or package has multiple sources (`.srcs`, architecture-dependent sources, etc).
+
+3. Upstream provided hash: use it when upstream provides `sha256` or `sha512` (when upstream provides `md5`, don't use it, compute `sha256` instead).
+
+    A little nuance is that `nix-prefetch-*` tools produce hash encoded with `base32`, but upstream usually provides hexadecimal (`base16`) encoding. Fetchers understand both formats. Nixpkgs does not standardize on any one format.
+
+    You can convert between formats with nix-hash, for example:
+
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ nix-hash --type sha256 --to-base32 HASH
+    ```
+
+4. Extracting hash from local source tarball can be done with `sha256sum`. Use `nix-prefetch-url file:///path/to/tarball` if you want base32 hash.
+
+5. Fake hash: set fake hash in package expression, perform build and extract correct hash from error Nix prints.
+
+    For package updates it is enough to change one symbol to make hash fake. For new packages, you can use `lib.fakeSha256`, `lib.fakeSha512` or any other fake hash.
+
+    This is last resort method when reconstructing source URL is non-trivial and `nix-prefetch-url -A` isn't applicable (for example, [one of `kodi` dependencies](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d2ab091dd308b99e4912b805a5eb088dd536adb9/pkgs/applications/video/kodi/default.nix#L73")). The easiest way then would be replace hash with a fake one and rebuild. Nix build will fail and error message will contain desired hash.
+
+::: warning
+This method has security problems. Check below for details.
+:::
+
+### Obtaining hashes securely {#sec-source-hashes-security}
+
+Let's say Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) sits close to your network. Then instead of fetching source you can fetch malware, and instead of source hash you get hash of malware. Here are security considerations for this scenario:
+
+- `http://` URLs are not secure to prefetch hash from;
+
+- hashes from upstream (in method 3) should be obtained via secure protocol;
+
+- `https://` URLs are secure in methods 1, 2, 3;
+
+- `https://` URLs are not secure in method 5. When obtaining hashes with fake hash method, TLS checks are disabled. So refetch source hash from several different networks to exclude MITM scenario. Alternatively, use fake hash method to make Nix error, but instead of extracting hash from error, extract `https://` URL and prefetch it with method 1.
+
+## Patches {#sec-patches}
+
+Patches available online should be retrieved using `fetchpatch`.
+
+```nix
+patches = [
+  (fetchpatch {
+    name = "fix-check-for-using-shared-freetype-lib.patch";
+    url = "http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=patch;h=8f5d285";
+    sha256 = "1f0k043rng7f0rfl9hhb89qzvvksqmkrikmm38p61yfx51l325xr";
+  })
+];
+```
+
+Otherwise, you can add a `.patch` file to the `nixpkgs` repository. In the interest of keeping our maintenance burden to a minimum, only patches that are unique to `nixpkgs` should be added in this way.
+
+```nix
+patches = [ ./0001-changes.patch ];
+```
+
+If you do need to do create this sort of patch file, one way to do so is with git:
+
+1. Move to the root directory of the source code you're patching.
+
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ cd the/program/source
+    ```
+
+2. If a git repository is not already present, create one and stage all of the source files.
+
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ git init
+    $ git add .
+    ```
+
+3. Edit some files to make whatever changes need to be included in the patch.
+
+4. Use git to create a diff, and pipe the output to a patch file:
+
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ git diff > nixpkgs/pkgs/the/package/0001-changes.patch
+    ```

-   In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
-   <itemizedlist>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The <varname>name</varname> attribute of the derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users see, in particular when using <command>nix-env</command>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The variable name used for the instantiated package in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and when passing it as a dependency to other functions. Typically this is called the <emphasis>package attribute name</emphasis>. This is what Nix expression authors see. It can also be used when installing using <command>nix-env -iA</command>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix expression.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-   </itemizedlist>
-   Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package <literal>e2fsprogs</literal> has a <varname>name</varname> attribute <literal>"e2fsprogs-<replaceable>version</replaceable>"</literal>, is bound to the variable name <varname>e2fsprogs</varname> in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and the Nix expression is in <filename>pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   There are a few naming guidelines:
-   <itemizedlist>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>should</emphasis> be identical to the upstream package name.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>must not</emphasis> contain uppercase letters — e.g., <literal>"mplayer-1.0rc2"</literal> instead of <literal>"MPlayer-1.0rc2"</literal>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      The version part of the <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>must</emphasis> start with a digit (following a dash) — e.g., <literal>"hello-0.3.1rc2"</literal>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      If a package is not a release but a commit from a repository, then the version part of the name <emphasis>must</emphasis> be the date of that (fetched) commit. The date <emphasis>must</emphasis> be in <literal>"YYYY-MM-DD"</literal> format. Also append <literal>"unstable"</literal> to the name - e.g., <literal>"pkgname-unstable-2014-09-23"</literal>.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      Dashes in the package name <emphasis>should</emphasis> be preserved in new variable names, rather than converted to underscores or camel cased — e.g., <varname>http-parser</varname> instead of <varname>http_parser</varname> or <varname>httpParser</varname>. The hyphenated style is preferred in all three package names.
-     </para>
-    </listitem>
-    <listitem>
-     <para>
-      If there are multiple versions of a package, this <emphasis>should</emphasis> be reflected in the variable names in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, e.g. <varname>json-c-0-9</varname> and <varname>json-c-0-11</varname>. If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like <literal>json-c = json-c-0-9;</literal>. See also <xref linkend="sec-versioning" />

Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package. Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the <emphasis>primary</emphasis> purpose of a package. For example, the <literal>libxml2</literal> package builds both a library and some tools; but it’s a library foremost, so it goes under <filename>pkgs/development/libraries</filename>.

-   <title>Versioning</title>

-   <para>
-    Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a potential maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be kept unless there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs contains several versions of GCC because other packages don’t build with the latest version of GCC. Other examples are having both the latest stable and latest pre-release version of a package, or to keep several major releases of an application that differ significantly in functionality.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression should be named <filename>e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>. If there are multiple versions, this should be reflected in the filename, e.g. <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.8.nix</filename> and <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix</filename>. The version in the filename should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they should be named <filename>firefox/2.0.nix</filename> and <filename>firefox/3.5.nix</filename>, respectively (which, at a given point, might contain versions <literal>2.0.0.20</literal> and <literal>3.5.4</literal>). If a version requires many auxiliary files, you can use a subdirectory for each version, e.g. <filename>firefox/2.0/default.nix</filename> and <filename>firefox/3.5/default.nix</filename>.

-   There are multiple ways to fetch a package source in nixpkgs. The general guideline is that you should package reproducible sources with a high degree of availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring support and that is <literal>fetchurl</literal>. Note that you should also prefer protocols which have a corresponding proxy environment variable.

-   In the file <literal>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</literal> you can find fetch helpers, these have names on the form <literal>fetchFrom*</literal>.

As an example going from bad to good:

-     Prefetch by package source (with <literal>nix-prefetch-url '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -A <replaceable>PACKAGE</replaceable>.src</literal>, where <replaceable>PACKAGE</replaceable> is package attribute name). Hash is printed to stdout.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-     This works well when you've upgraded existing package version and want to find out new hash, but is useless if package can't be accessed by attribute or package has multiple sources (<literal>.srcs</literal>, architecture-dependent sources, etc).
-    </para>

-     Upstream provided hash: use it when upstream provides <literal>sha256</literal> or <literal>sha512</literal> (when upstream provides <literal>md5</literal>, don't use it, compute <literal>sha256</literal> instead).
-    </para>
-    <para>
-     A little nuance is that <literal>nix-prefetch-*</literal> tools produce hash encoded with <literal>base32</literal>, but upstream usually provides hexadecimal (<literal>base16</literal>) encoding. Fetchers understand both formats. Nixpkgs does not standardize on any one format.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-     You can convert between formats with nix-hash, for example:

-    </para>
-   </listitem>
-   <listitem>

-     Extracting hash from local source tarball can be done with <literal>sha256sum</literal>. Use <literal>nix-prefetch-url file:///path/to/tarball </literal> if you want base32 hash.

-     Fake hash: set fake hash in package expression, perform build and extract correct hash from error Nix prints.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-     For package updates it is enough to change one symbol to make hash fake. For new packages, you can use <literal>lib.fakeSha256</literal>, <literal>lib.fakeSha512</literal> or any other fake hash.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-     This is last resort method when reconstructing source URL is non-trivial and <literal>nix-prefetch-url -A</literal> isn't applicable (for example, <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d2ab091dd308b99e4912b805a5eb088dd536adb9/pkgs/applications/video/kodi/default.nix#L73"> one of <literal>kodi</literal> dependencies</link>).

Alternatively, use fake hash method to make Nix error, but instead of extracting hash from error, extract <literal>https://</literal> URL and prefetch it with method 1.

+# Quick Start to Adding a Package {#chap-quick-start}
+
+To add a package to Nixpkgs:
+
+1. Checkout the Nixpkgs source tree:
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
+   $ cd nixpkgs
+   ```
+
+2. Find a good place in the Nixpkgs tree to add the Nix expression for your package. For instance, a library package typically goes into `pkgs/development/libraries/pkgname`, while a web browser goes into `pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/pkgname`. See <xref linkend="sec-organisation" /> for some hints on the tree organisation. Create a directory for your package, e.g.
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ mkdir pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo
+   ```
+
+3. In the package directory, create a Nix expression — a piece of code that describes how to build the package. In this case, it should be a _function_ that is called with the package dependencies as arguments, and returns a build of the package in the Nix store. The expression should usually be called `default.nix`.
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ emacs pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo/default.nix
+   $ git add pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo/default.nix
+   ```
+
+   You can have a look at the existing Nix expressions under `pkgs/` to see how it’s done. Here are some good ones:
+
+   - GNU Hello: [`pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix). Trivial package, which specifies some `meta` attributes which is good practice.
+
+   - GNU cpio: [`pkgs/tools/archivers/cpio/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/archivers/cpio/default.nix). Also a simple package. The generic builder in `stdenv` does everything for you. It has no dependencies beyond `stdenv`.
+
+   - GNU Multiple Precision arithmetic library (GMP): [`pkgs/development/libraries/gmp/5.1.x.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/gmp/5.1.x.nix). Also done by the generic builder, but has a dependency on `m4`.
+
+   - Pan, a GTK-based newsreader: [`pkgs/applications/networking/newsreaders/pan/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/newsreaders/pan/default.nix). Has an optional dependency on `gtkspell`, which is only built if `spellCheck` is `true`.
+
+   - Apache HTTPD: [`pkgs/servers/http/apache-httpd/2.4.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/servers/http/apache-httpd/2.4.nix). A bunch of optional features, variable substitutions in the configure flags, a post-install hook, and miscellaneous hackery.
+
+   - Thunderbird: [`pkgs/applications/networking/mailreaders/thunderbird/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/mailreaders/thunderbird/default.nix). Lots of dependencies.
+
+   - JDiskReport, a Java utility: [`pkgs/tools/misc/jdiskreport/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/misc/jdiskreport/default.nix). Nixpkgs doesn’t have a decent `stdenv` for Java yet so this is pretty ad-hoc.
+
+   - XML::Simple, a Perl module: [`pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix) (search for the `XMLSimple` attribute). Most Perl modules are so simple to build that they are defined directly in `perl-packages.nix`; no need to make a separate file for them.
+
+   - Adobe Reader: [`pkgs/applications/misc/adobe-reader/default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/misc/adobe-reader/default.nix). Shows how binary-only packages can be supported. In particular the [builder](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/misc/adobe-reader/builder.sh) uses `patchelf` to set the RUNPATH and ELF interpreter of the executables so that the right libraries are found at runtime.
+
+   Some notes:
+
+   - All [`meta`](#chap-meta) attributes are optional, but it’s still a good idea to provide at least the `description`, `homepage` and [`license`](#sec-meta-license).
+
+   - You can use `nix-prefetch-url url` to get the SHA-256 hash of source distributions. There are similar commands as `nix-prefetch-git` and `nix-prefetch-hg` available in `nix-prefetch-scripts` package.
+
+   - A list of schemes for `mirror://` URLs can be found in [`pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix).
+
+   The exact syntax and semantics of the Nix expression language, including the built-in function, are described in the Nix manual in the [chapter on writing Nix expressions](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/trunk/tarball/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual/#chap-writing-nix-expressions).
+
+4. Add a call to the function defined in the previous step to [`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix) with some descriptive name for the variable, e.g. `libfoo`.
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ emacs pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix
+   ```
+
+   The attributes in that file are sorted by category (like “Development / Libraries”) that more-or-less correspond to the directory structure of Nixpkgs, and then by attribute name.
+
+5. To test whether the package builds, run the following command from the root of the nixpkgs source tree:
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ nix-build -A libfoo
+   ```
+
+   where `libfoo` should be the variable name defined in the previous step. You may want to add the flag `-K` to keep the temporary build directory in case something fails. If the build succeeds, a symlink `./result` to the package in the Nix store is created.
+
+6. If you want to install the package into your profile (optional), do
+
+   ```ShellSession
+   $ nix-env -f . -iA libfoo
+   ```
+
+7. Optionally commit the new package and open a pull request [to nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls), or use [the Patches category](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/about-the-patches-category/477) on Discourse for sending a patch without a GitHub account.

+# Reviewing contributions {#chap-reviewing-contributions}
+
+::: warning
+The following section is a draft, and the policy for reviewing is still being discussed in issues such as [#11166](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11166) and [#20836](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/20836).
+:::
+
+The Nixpkgs project receives a fairly high number of contributions via GitHub pull requests. Reviewing and approving these is an important task and a way to contribute to the project.
+
+The high change rate of Nixpkgs makes any pull request that remains open for too long subject to conflicts that will require extra work from the submitter or the merger. Reviewing pull requests in a timely manner and being responsive to the comments is the key to avoid this issue. GitHub provides sort filters that can be used to see the [most recently](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc) and the [least recently](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-asc) updated pull requests. We highly encourage looking at [this list of ready to merge, unreviewed pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+review%3Anone+status%3Asuccess+-label%3A%222.status%3A+work-in-progress%22+no%3Aproject+no%3Aassignee+no%3Amilestone).
+
+When reviewing a pull request, please always be nice and polite. Controversial changes can lead to controversial opinions, but it is important to respect every community member and their work.
+
+GitHub provides reactions as a simple and quick way to provide feedback to pull requests or any comments. The thumb-down reaction should be used with care and if possible accompanied with some explanation so the submitter has directions to improve their contribution.
+
+pull request reviews should include a list of what has been reviewed in a comment, so other reviewers and mergers can know the state of the review.
+
+All the review template samples provided in this section are generic and meant as examples. Their usage is optional and the reviewer is free to adapt them to their liking.
+
+## Package updates {#reviewing-contributions-package-updates}
+
+A package update is the most trivial and common type of pull request. These pull requests mainly consist of updating the version part of the package name and the source hash.
+
+It can happen that non-trivial updates include patches or more complex changes.
+
+Reviewing process:
+
+- Ensure that the package versioning fits the guidelines.
+- Ensure that the commit text fits the guidelines.
+- Ensure that the package maintainers are notified.
+  - [CODEOWNERS](https://help.github.com/articles/about-codeowners) will make GitHub notify users based on the submitted changes, but it can happen that it misses some of the package maintainers.
+- Ensure that the meta field information is correct.
+  - License can change with version updates, so it should be checked to match the upstream license.
+  - If the package has no maintainer, a maintainer must be set. This can be the update submitter or a community member that accepts to take maintainership of the package.
+- Ensure that the code contains no typos.
+- Building the package locally.
+  - pull requests are often targeted to the master or staging branch, and building the pull request locally when it is submitted can trigger many source builds.
+  - It is possible to rebase the changes on nixos-unstable or nixpkgs-unstable for easier review by running the following commands from a nixpkgs clone.
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ git fetch origin nixos-unstable
+    $ git fetch origin pull/PRNUMBER/head
+    $ git rebase --onto nixos-unstable BASEBRANCH FETCH_HEAD
+    ```
+    - The first command fetches the nixos-unstable branch.
+    - The second command fetches the pull request changes, `PRNUMBER` is the number at the end of the pull request title and `BASEBRANCH` the base branch of the pull request.
+    - The third command rebases the pull request changes to the nixos-unstable branch.
+  - The [nixpkgs-review](https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs-review) tool can be used to review a pull request content in a single command. `PRNUMBER` should be replaced by the number at the end of the pull request title. You can also provide the full github pull request url.
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review pr PRNUMBER"
+    ```
+- Running every binary.
+
+Sample template for a package update review is provided below.
+
+```markdown
+##### Reviewed points
+
+- [ ] package name fits guidelines
+- [ ] package version fits guidelines
+- [ ] package build on ARCHITECTURE
+- [ ] executables tested on ARCHITECTURE
+- [ ] all depending packages build
+
+##### Possible improvements
+
+##### Comments
+```
+
+## New packages {#reviewing-contributions-new-packages}
+
+New packages are a common type of pull requests. These pull requests consists in adding a new nix-expression for a package.
+
+Review process:
+
+- Ensure that the package versioning fits the guidelines.
+- Ensure that the commit name fits the guidelines.
+- Ensure that the meta fields contain correct information.
+  - License must match the upstream license.
+  - Platforms should be set (or the package will not get binary substitutes).
+  - Maintainers must be set. This can be the package submitter or a community member that accepts taking up maintainership of the package.
+- Report detected typos.
+- Ensure the package source:
+  - Uses mirror URLs when available.
+  - Uses the most appropriate functions (e.g. packages from GitHub should use `fetchFromGitHub`).
+- Building the package locally.
+- Running every binary.
+
+Sample template for a new package review is provided below.
+
+```markdown
+##### Reviewed points
+
+- [ ] package path fits guidelines
+- [ ] package name fits guidelines
+- [ ] package version fits guidelines

+
+## Module updates {#reviewing-contributions-module-updates}
+
+Module updates are submissions changing modules in some ways. These often contains changes to the options or introduce new options.
+
+Reviewing process:
+
+- Ensure that the module maintainers are notified.
+  - [CODEOWNERS](https://help.github.com/articles/about-codeowners/) will make GitHub notify users based on the submitted changes, but it can happen that it misses some of the package maintainers.
+- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
+- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
+  - Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities, `optionSet` and `string` types are deprecated).
+  - Description, default and example should be provided.
+- Ensure that option changes are backward compatible.
+  - `mkRenamedOptionModule` and `mkAliasOptionModule` functions provide way to make option changes backward compatible.
+- Ensure that removed options are declared with `mkRemovedOptionModule`
+- Ensure that changes that are not backward compatible are mentioned in release notes.
+- Ensure that documentations affected by the change is updated.
+
+Sample template for a module update review is provided below.
+
+```markdown
+##### Reviewed points
+
+- [ ] changes are backward compatible
+- [ ] removed options are declared with `mkRemovedOptionModule`
+- [ ] changes that are not backward compatible are documented in release notes

+
+## New modules {#reviewing-contributions-new-modules}
+
+New modules submissions introduce a new module to NixOS.
+
+Reviewing process:
+
+- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
+- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
+  - Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities, `optionSet` and `string` types are deprecated).
+  - Description, default and example should be provided.
+- Ensure that module `meta` field is present
+  - Maintainers should be declared in `meta.maintainers`.
+  - Module documentation should be declared with `meta.doc`.
+- Ensure that the module respect other modules functionality.
+  - For example, enabling a module should not open firewall ports by default.
+
+Sample template for a new module review is provided below.
+
+```markdown
+##### Reviewed points
+
+- [ ] module path fits the guidelines
+- [ ] module tests succeed on ARCHITECTURE
+- [ ] options have appropriate types

+
+## Other submissions {#reviewing-contributions-other-submissions}
+
+Other type of submissions requires different reviewing steps.
+
+If you consider having enough knowledge and experience in a topic and would like to be a long-term reviewer for related submissions, please contact the current reviewers for that topic. They will give you information about the reviewing process. The main reviewers for a topic can be hard to find as there is no list, but checking past pull requests to see who reviewed or git-blaming the code to see who committed to that topic can give some hints.
+
+Container system, boot system and library changes are some examples of the pull requests fitting this category.
+
+## Merging pull requests {#reviewing-contributions--merging-pull-requests}
+

-  The Nixpkgs project receives a fairly high number of contributions via GitHub pull requests. Reviewing and approving these is an important task and a way to contribute to the project.
- </para>
- <para>
-  The high change rate of Nixpkgs makes any pull request that remains open for too long subject to conflicts that will require extra work from the submitter or the merger. Reviewing pull requests in a timely manner and being responsive to the comments is the key to avoid this issue. GitHub provides sort filters that can be used to see the <link

+## Deprecating/removing packages {#submitting-changes-deprecating-packages}
+
+There is currently no policy when to remove a package.
+
+Before removing a package, one should try to find a new maintainer or fix smaller issues first.
+
+### Steps to remove a package from Nixpkgs
+
+We use jbidwatcher as an example for a discontinued project here.
+
+1. Have Nixpkgs checked out locally and up to date.
+1. Create a new branch for your change, e.g. `git checkout -b jbidwatcher`
+1. Remove the actual package including its directory, e.g. `rm -rf pkgs/applications/misc/jbidwatcher`
+1. Remove the package from the list of all packages (`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`).
+1. Add an alias for the package name in `pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix` (There is also `pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/aliases.nix`. Package sets typically do not have aliases, so we can't add them there.)
+
+    For example in this case:
+    ```
+    jbidwatcher = throw "jbidwatcher was discontinued in march 2021"; # added 2021-03-15
+    ```
+
+    The throw message should explain in short why the package was removed for users that still have it installed.
+
+1. Test if the changes introduced any issues by running `nix-env -qaP -f . --show-trace`. It should show the list of packages without errors.
+1. Commit the changes. Explain again why the package was removed. If it was declared discontinued upstream, add a link to the source.
+
+    ```ShellSession
+    $ git add pkgs/applications/misc/jbidwatcher/default.nix pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix
+    $ git commit
+    ```
+
+    Example commit message:
+
+    ```
+    jbidwatcher: remove
+
+    project was discontinued in march 2021. the program does not work anymore because ebay changed the login.
+
+    https://web.archive.org/web/20210315205723/http://www.jbidwatcher.com/
+    ```
+
+1. Push changes to your GitHub fork with `git push`
+1. Create a pull request against Nixpkgs. Mention the package maintainer.
+
+This is how the pull request looks like in this case: [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/116470](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/116470)
+
 ## Pull Request Template {#submitting-changes-pull-request-template}
 
 The pull request template helps determine what steps have been made for a contribution so far, and will help guide maintainers on the status of a change.

 ### Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests) {#submitting-changes-nixos-tests}
 
-Packages with automated tests are much more likely to be merged in a timely fashion because it doesn’t require as much manual testing by the maintainer to verify the functionality of the package. If there are existing tests for the package, they should be run to verify your changes do not break the tests. Tests only apply to packages with NixOS modules defined and can only be run on Linux.

 ## Introduction {#beam-introduction}
 
-In this document and related Nix expressions, we use the term, *BEAM*, to describe the environment. BEAM is the name of the Erlang Virtual Machine and, as far as we're concerned, from a packaging perspective, all languages that run on the BEAM are interchangeable. That which varies, like the build system, is transparent to users of any given BEAM package, so we make no distinction.

-Mix functions similarly to Rebar3, except we use `buildMix` instead of `buildRebar3`.
+`mixRelease` is used to make a release in the mix sense. Dependencies will need to be fetched with `fetchMixDeps` and passed to it.
+
+#### mixRelease - Elixir Phoenix example
+
+Here is how your `default.nix` file would look.
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> { };
+
+let
+  packages = beam.packagesWith beam.interpreters.erlang;
+  src = builtins.fetchgit {
+    url = "ssh://git@github.com/your_id/your_repo";
+    rev = "replace_with_your_commit";

+
+  pname = "your_project";
+  version = "0.0.1";
+  mixEnv = "prod";
+
+  mixDeps = packages.fetchMixDeps {
+    pname = "mix-deps-${pname}";
+    inherit src mixEnv version;
+    # nix will complain and tell you the right value to replace this with
+    sha256 = lib.fakeSha256;
+    # if you have build time environment variables add them here
+    MY_ENV_VAR="my_value";
+  };
+
+  nodeDependencies = (pkgs.callPackage ./assets/default.nix { }).shell.nodeDependencies;
+
+  frontEndFiles = stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
+    pname = "frontend-${pname}";
+
+    nativeBuildInputs = [ nodejs ];
+
+    inherit version src;
+
+    buildPhase = ''
+      cp -r ./assets $TEMPDIR
+
+      mkdir -p $TEMPDIR/assets/node_modules/.cache
+      cp -r ${nodeDependencies}/lib/node_modules $TEMPDIR/assets
+      export PATH="${nodeDependencies}/bin:$PATH"
+
+      cd $TEMPDIR/assets
+      webpack --config ./webpack.config.js
+      cd ..
+    '';
+
+    installPhase = ''
+      cp -r ./priv/static $out/
+    '';
+
+    outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
+    outputHashMode = "recursive";
+    # nix will complain and tell you the right value to replace this with
+    outputHash = lib.fakeSha256;
+
+    impureEnvVars = lib.fetchers.proxyImpureEnvVars;
+  };
+
+

+  inherit src pname version mixEnv mixDeps;
+  # if you have build time environment variables add them here
+  MY_ENV_VAR="my_value";
+  preInstall = ''
+    mkdir -p ./priv/static
+    cp -r ${frontEndFiles} ./priv/static
+  '';
+}
+```
+
+Setup will require the following steps:
+
+- Move your secrets to runtime environment variables. For more information refer to the [runtime.exs docs](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Release.html#module-runtime-configuration). On a fresh Phoenix build that would mean that both `DATABASE_URL` and `SECRET_KEY` need to be moved to `runtime.exs`.
+- `cd assets` and `nix-shell -p node2nix --run node2nix --development` will generate a Nix expression containing your frontend dependencies
+- commit and push those changes
+- you can now `nix-build .`
+- To run the release, set the `RELEASE_TMP` environment variable to a directory that your program has write access to. It will be used to store the BEAM settings.
 
-Alternatively, we can use `buildHex` as a shortcut:
+#### Example of creating a service for an Elixir - Phoenix project
+
+In order to create a service with your release, you could add a `service.nix`
+in your project with the following
+
+```nix
+{config, pkgs, lib, ...}:
+
+let
+  release = pkgs.callPackage ./default.nix;
+  release_name = "app";
+  working_directory = "/home/app";
+in
+{
+  systemd.services.${release_name} = {
+    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];

+    environment = {
+      # RELEASE_TMP is used to write the state of the
+      # VM configuration when the system is running
+      # it needs to be a writable directory
+      RELEASE_TMP = working_directory;
+      # can be generated in an elixir console with
+      # Base.encode32(:crypto.strong_rand_bytes(32))
+      RELEASE_COOKIE = "my_cookie";
+      MY_VAR = "my_var";
+    };
+    serviceConfig = {
+      Type = "exec";
+      DynamicUser = true;
+      WorkingDirectory = working_directory;
+      # Implied by DynamicUser, but just to emphasize due to RELEASE_TMP
+      PrivateTmp = true;
+      ExecStart = ''
+        ${release}/bin/${release_name} start
+      '';
+      ExecStop = ''

-Using a `shell.nix` as described (see <xref linkend="creating-a-shell"/>) should just work.
+- create the db directory `initdb ./db` (inside your mix project folder)
+- create the postgres user `createuser postgres -ds`
+- create the db `createdb db`
+- start the postgres instance `pg_ctl -l "$PGDATA/server.log" start`
+- add the `/db` folder to your `.gitignore`
+- you can start your phoenix server and get a shell with `iex -S mix phx.server`
