Mobile NixOS is a superset on top of NixOS Linux, Nixpkgs and Nix, aiming to abstract away the differences between mobile devices.

In four words: “NixOS, on your phone”.

Note

Mobile NixOS is only expected to build succesfully against the unstable branch of Nixpkgs.

Documentation

As Mobile NixOS is a superset of NixOS Linux, the following documentation applies:

  • NixOS Manual - how to install, configure, and maintain a purely-functional Linux distribution

  • Nixpkgs Manual - contributing to Nixpkgs and using programming-language-specific Nix expressions

  • Nix Package Manager Manual - how to write Nix expressions (programs), and how to use Nix command line tools

Community

Mobile NixOS development and questions is currently hosted on the NixOS on ARM channel.

The following community resources are also available, for NixOS questions.

Other Project Repositories

  • Nixpkgs - the Nix packages collection

Continuous Integration

Mobile NixOS is continuously built on the organization’s Hydra instance.

There is no published artifacts for the time being, but the documentation should point you towards resources that you can use to get started quicker when your device is supported.
