Introduction#
Nixpacks takes a source directory and produces an OCI compliant image that can be deployed anywhere. The project was started by Railway and is open source on GitHub.
The core principles of Nixpacks are
- ✨ Intuitive defaults: In most cases, building and deploying an app with Nixpacks should just work with no configuration needed.
- ⚙️ Customizable: Every part of the pipeline should be configurable. These include the Nix packages to add to the environment and build/start commands.
- 🚀 Easily extendible: New providers (languages) should be able to be easily added to nixpacks with minimal knowledge of Nix and Docker.
