I am packaging the insync application for nix. Insync is a commercial application that syncs gdrive and more. The current derivation in the nixstore is a command line only tool without the gui.
It was a pain, but I got the app up and running. The only thing missing is the system tray icon from which the gui can be opened. Here is the derivation:
{ stdenv
, lib
, fetchurl
, makeWrapper
, dpkg
, glibc
, glib
, libglvnd
, libXcomposite
, libXcursor
, libXi
, libXrandr
, libXtst
, libxcb
, nss
, qt5
, xdg_utils
, zlib
}:
let rpath = lib.makeLibraryPath [
glibc
glib

}
else
throw "${name} is not supported on ${stdenv.hostPlatform.system}";
buildInputs = [ dpkg makeWrapper ];

longDescription = ''
Insync is a commercial application that syncs your Drive files to your
computer. It has more advanced features than Google's official client
such as multiple account support, Google Doc conversion, symlink support,
and built in sharing.
There is a 15-day free trial, and it is a paid application after that.

};
}
nix-env -f . -iA insync correctly installs the binary. I you run insync start --no-daemon you see the debug output:

Running insync show in a second terminal opens the gui, which would normally open if you click on the system tray icon.
The second (minor) problem is, that the app in the dock has no icon.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
despite now I am using fhsbubblewrap
