Idealy I would not have to do the one-time setup on every machine. But it's
good enough.

Nice! Why is it not perfect?

[Nix-dev] drone and nix (sort of solved)

[Harmen]

Hi all,

I while ago here I asked about using nix with drone.io (a CI system which uses 
docker), to deal with push based tests. I previously reported back with a 
solution with gitlab, but I did end up with a workable (not perfect) solution 
for drone.

On the 'drone agent' machine run this once:

# docker volume create nix
# docker run --rm -v nix:/newnix nixos/nix cp -a /nix/store /nix/var /newnix

in the .drone.yml files:

pipeline:
  build:
image: nixos/nix
commands:
  ...
volumes:
  - nix:/nix/

And whenever you want to update nixchannel:

# docker run -v nix:/nix/ --rm -ti nixos/nix nix-channel --update


This will share the /nix directory with every build, so rebuild (and
downloads!) are kept to a minimum.


Maybe it helps someone.
Thanks!
Harmen
