Nix Flake?

[s1syph0s]

Hi,

I am using NixOS, and wanted to try to install the esp rust toolchain. Using espup can work in NixOS, but I think that it could be great, if we can install the esp toolchains using nix flakes. Is there a plan to support installing the toolchains using nix?

Hi!

I don't think there is a plan for adding a nix flake from our side, but if you end up doing one or you find one that works, it would be very valuable for others. I know there are some Nix users in https://matrix.to/#/#esp-rs:matrix.org

Here are some resources/issues related to Nix/NixOS that I've gathered from the Matrix channel:

• Fails to build freshly cloned on NixOS esp-idf-template#64 (comment)
• Fails to build on Nix esp-idf-sys#184
