Nix Flake For Solana

This flake is an experiment that I started out of curiosity. I don't use Solana myself. If there are better flakes out there please let me know so I can deprecate this repository and link to other solutions!

This flake packages up the solana-cli. More specifically, it includes the following binaries:

• cargo-build-bpf
• cargo-test-bpf
• solana
• solana-install
• solana-install-init
• solana-keygen
• solana-faucet
• solana-stake-accounts
• solana-tokens

I tested the build on NixOS and an M1 Darwin machine.

Quickstart

$ nix flake show github:cideM/solana-nix

TODO

• Add a test that runs all binaries once, at least just --version
• Try auto updating to latest stable release with GitHub workflow
• Figure out how to build the missing binary on Darwin (Discourse post)
