The nix flake has two build targets:
- dune project derivation: produces a binary that one can run as is
- docker image: produces a minimal image that contains the derivation
The derivation can be built with nix build and the image can be built with
nix build .#docker.
You can run it easily (assuming you have docker setup) with make run. If you
want to clean up afterwards, use make clean.
It uses Ocaml for the webserver and Reason for templating. I opted to use Turso for the DB but the client support for Ocaml is poor. So, I compiled Go to C and use Dune to bind the C code to Ocaml...probably not the best idea but it does work. Nix is used to build the code and with GitHub workflows, it gets deployed. Locally, I test using the Makefile. This will let you easily run and clean.
