Naersk is a Nix library for building Rust projects by turning Cargo projects into Nix derivations. It parses Cargo.lock, fetches dependencies, and compiles inside Nix's sandbox without IFD or code generation.
Use cases
- build rust projects with nix
- package a cargo application as a nix derivation
- reproducible rust builds with cargo.lock
- use rust in nixos system packages
- build rust with hydra without import-from-derivation
When to choose
- you want zero-config Nix builds for Rust projects
- you need sandbox-friendly, cached dependency builds
- you use Hydra or Nix flakes and want to avoid IFD
When to avoid
- you don't use the Nix package manager
- you need fine-grained control over cargo features or workspace overrides that naersk doesn't expose
- you prefer crane or buildRustPackage from nixpkgs
