Has anybody managed to get Jekyll running on NixOS?

Help

I’ve tried multiple things:

  • A nix shell nixpkgs#jekyll nixpkgs#bundler and using bundler install as the inserted splash on jekyll new suggests. This fails with an exception from the Scss/Sass library.
  • Running jekyll new and then using bundix to generate a gemset.nix. This fails because some part of the stack misinterprets the platform specification of the HTTP library and fails.
  • Removing the platform specification of that HTTP library leads to a dev shell working, but running jekyll in there fails immediately from within the wrapper Ruby code, complaining that Scss is missing.

We are using Nix in CI of GitHub - deltachat/deltachat-pages: Delta Chat Website to build https://delta.chat/ website with Jekyll. We don’t use bundler when using Nix. See the readme of the repo for instructions using nix build and nix develop.
