Howdy! I’m fairly new to Nix and NixOS, but it very quickly grew on me with how easy it is to set up an entire system with it. I’ve been working on transferring over my server’s configuration to pure Nix, and one issue I needed to solve was moving my Garry’s Mod testing server out of Docker and into my system configuration.
Thus, I present nix-garrys-mod, a set of packages that downloads, patches, and wraps the Garry’s Mod dedicated server software and runtime requirements, provides a simple wrapper for running with a separate writeable data directory, and provides a NixOS module to declaratively configure a Garry’s Mod server.
It’s currently in a very early alpha, so I haven’t got around to writing examples and usage. But I wanted to post it early to solicit some feedback/criticism and see if anyone else is looking for this kind of thing.
