What Hacker News says

Interesting and useful work, keep it up. However, I took a look at a few geospatial-nix packages: - https://github.com/imincik/geospatial-nix/blob/master/pkgs/p... - https://github.com/imincik/geospatial-nix/blob/master/pkgs/g... But it seems like the packages are minimally tested. Am I seeing this correctly? For example, with postgis, I miss the 'make check'; "The above command will run through various checks and regression tests using the generated library against an actual PostgreSQL database." https://postgis.net/docs/postgis_installation.html#idm738
In Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today
geospatial-nix author here. Thanks for your interest. geospatial-nix.today is the UI for creation of development and working environments using Nix. It provides easy instructions to get Nix running on your Linux machine, UI to declaratively configure your environment and tools for building container images. We are focusing on geospatial use cases, but this tool is not limited to geospatial only. We support all configuration options provided by Devenv (https://devenv.sh/reference/options/). Actually, geospatial-nix.today website, written in Elm, is developed and deployed by the environment created by geospatial-nix (https://github.com/imincik/geospatial-nix.today/blob/master/...) geospatial-nix (https://github.com/imincik/geospatial-nix) itself is weekly updated geospatial software repository for Linux. As you can read in the FUTURE PLANS
Read the rest
section, we are in very early stage of development. Please take this to account. Features like support for many more services, Mac support, production deployment to Kubernetes will land soon. Any feedback is very much appreciated.
