Kicking this week off with a bang, @lassulus has announced the launch of the new official wiki, found at wiki.nixos.org. This effort was a long time coming and is the beginning of a more cohesive developer and user experience for Nix.

@RaitoBezarius has provided an update on the previously mentioned sponsorship policy. A policy has not yet been decided on and the involved parties are continuing to work out the details to ensure that the wishes of community members and contributors are respected. A decision is likely to be made in time for the next board meeting. For more details on what has been discussed, see NixOS/foundation Issue 110 and NixOS/foundation PR 128.

@Mic92 introduced the Clan project, a toolkit to make it easier to manage networks of VPN-connected NixOS machines. The project combines many tools from the Nix ecosystem such as nixos-anywhere and sops-nix with a uniform CLI. To learn more about Clan, take a look at the project’s blog post.

@mrcjk announced kickstart-nix.nvim. If you’ve wanted to bring your Neovim setup into the Nix world, this is a great place to start! The project has been transferred to the nix-community organization on GitHub and more information can be found there for how to get started.

@AdoPi released Shoji-Nix, a NixOS module designed to manage and securely store your SSH keys in your NixOS configuration repository. Shoji-Nix brings together Age, Sops, and Shoji to securely and efficiently store .ssh details. The project is available on GitHub.

@getchoo brought some delight to the Nix ecosystem this week with the announcement of Catpuccin-nix! Having been brought in to the official Catpuccin GitHub organization, it is now the definitive way to make use of the soothing pastel theme for NixOS systems or machines using Home-Manager. The Catpuccin-nix flake is available on GitHub.

@tgrcdev surprised everyone with the announcement of a Garry’s Mod Nix flake. It provides everything you need to run a dedicated Garry’s mod server, including packages and a NixOS module.
