devenv-nix

(noun) : idk something clever eventually

using this approach

• install direnv (homebrew on macOS) (allows bypassing devenv shell in later runs)

• add to your shell config: eval "$(direnv hook <shell>)"

• install nix: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

  • or (and it may be preferable on apple silicon), here

• install devenv: nix profile install --accept-flake-config github:cachix/devenv/latest

• clone this repo.

• clone your musiccpr forks and have them sit side by side.

• copy the three files in this repo to the root of your backeend clone.

• cd to your backend clone and run direnv allow, followed by devenv shell to build the shell with deps cached.

• wait. it can take a minute or three.

• once it completes you will be placed in a shell environment with everything ready.

• run musiccpr-init to set up the db (redundancies here with deps install)

• run devenv up to launch postgres, the backend, and the frontend all at once.

• NOTE: for now due to a likely race you have to select django in the tui that appears and reset with ctrl-r

You should have the backend, frontend, and db running and talking.
