A curated list of the best resources in the Nix and NixOS community, covering learning materials, tools, deployment utilities, and language-specific guides. It is maintained under the nix-community organization and serves as a discovery index for the Nix ecosystem.

Use cases

  • find resources to learn the Nix package manager
  • discover NixOS deployment and configuration tools
  • find Nix tutorials for a specific programming language
  • get started with Nix flakes and home-manager
  • find NixOS modules and overlays
  • locate learning materials for reproducible builds

When to choose

  • you are starting with Nix or NixOS and need curated learning paths
  • you want a single index of community tools, guides, and distributions for the Nix ecosystem
  • you are looking for language-specific Nix development resources

When to avoid

  • you need actual software or a package manager rather than a list of links
  • you need official documentation instead of community-curated resources
  • you are not working with Nix or NixOS at all
