It will save you time and money by making sure: - -- your development environment is the same as your production environment -- every build you do is definitive and reproducible -- all your dependencies and environment variables are accounted for -- developers never have to compile something twice - just download it from the cache - -But, you have to use it right. You can't go half-way in. - -Do you find Nix hard to use? Is the documentation confusing, the language obtuse and difficult? Have you had trouble training new devs? - -If so, you need this service. - -I'm offering dedicated Nix support for a limited number of clients. Here's how it works: - -- If you have a problem or question with Nix, NixOS, or Nixpkgs, send me a message -- I will respond within an hour during business hours -- I'll stay online with you until your problem is resolved -- If we can't solve it via chat, we'll start a video call to work through it - -To sign up, say hello in the chat box in the corner to get started, or [register][] an account. - -<!-- -# What problems does Nix solve? - -<TODO/> - -# What benefits will I get by using Nix? - -<TODO/> - -- largest package repository in the world - ---> - -# Why buy as a team? - -Get a dedicated help room just for your team.

Join the public [nix-lobby][] room to get started. When you sign up for the dedicated, paid support you'll be added to a private chat room that you can use for future help requests. We also have 1-on-1 and encrypted messaging for any sensitive information. - -# Who runs this? - -I'm [Ben Sima](https://bsima.me) and I've been working with Nix for 5+ years. All of my personal infrastructure runs on NixOS: email, IRC, XMPP, hardware, websites including this one. I've contributed open source packages and modules to nixpkgs. In my day job, I've managed a Nix-based build system and infrastructure for 150+ developers, handling dozens of custom packages, hundreds of builds per day, and a private cache of terabytes of Nix packages. I've probably managed the largest Nix deployment in the world besides the public NixOS.org infrastructure. - -# Why make this service? - -My career mission is to make reliable software, and Nix is one of the best tools for that job. But people often complain that Nix is hard to use. So my goal with this project is to make Nix easy to use and understand. First I will help you with your day-to-day problems. Along the way I will work out better ways to explain the concepts, benefits and usage of Nix. Then I will take these lessons back to the Nix manual and tooling to make the product better. So in buying this service your money actually buys twice the value: you get direct suport of your daily problems, and you get indirect support by improving Nix over time. - -The business manta I operate by is "win and help win." By offering this service I will help your organization win by improving your infrastructure and delivering reliable software products, and the Nix community wins by having more dedicated improvements contributed upstream. - -<!-- - -# FAQ - -## Do you offer development or training? - -For special projects I offer Nix development work and training on a contract basis. Message me at [bsima@simatime.com](xmpp://bsima@simatime.com) and we'll see if your project is a good fit. If not, I can recommend other contractors that I trust will get the job done. - -## How do I manage my payment and account? - -It's all manual right now. I'll invoice you for payment at the beginning of every month. If you want to cancel, just message me, no hard feelings. Or just don't pay your invoice I guess. - -If you want your XMPP account deleted, you can usually do that from an XMPP client, or message me directly and I'll do it from the admin console. - -## Do you log our chats? - -Yeah I save the logs for 30 days. If you need them deleted for some reason, message me an I'll delete any logs. If you have sensitive data, use OMEMO or PGP encryption. - ---> - -[register]: https://simatime.com/chat -[nix-lobby]: TODO - -<script> - // https://conversejs.org/demo/anonymous.html - converse.initialize({ - allow_logout: false, - authentication: "anonymous", - auto_login: true, - auto_join_rooms: [ "nix-lobby@conference.simatime.com" ], - notify_all_room_messages: [ "nix-lobby@conference.simatime.com" ], - jid: "anon.simatime.com", - keepalive: true, - hide_muc_server: true, - bosh_service_url: "https://anon.simatime.com/http-bind" - }); -</script> |
