		rspeer on July 6, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Walkthrough for Systemd Portable Services I once started trying to learn about Nix. All the up-to-date documentation I could find, however, was about NixOS. I would like to use Nix just to manage my local development environment on Ubuntu, not to replace my entire operating system. Is that something the developers are still interested in? Is there documentation?

Have a look here: https://nixos.org/nix/manual/ There's a dropdown in the top-left corner to switch between nix-related projects. (NixOS, NixOps, etc.)

I found nix-pills more useful than the manual: https://nixos.org/nixos/nix-pills/index.html
