Nix Packaging for Kubetail

This repository contains Nix packaging for the kubetail CLI tool. It is meant to be consumed primarily as a flake but the default.nix can also be imported directly by non-flakes too.

Flake

# Try without installing
nix run github:kubetail-org/kubetail-nix

# Open a shell with `kubetail` installed
nix shell github:kubetail-org/kubetail-nix

# Install to your profile
nix profile add github:kubetail-org/kubetail-nix

Non-Flake

# Try without installing
nix-build https://github.com/kubetail-org/kubetail-nix/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

# Open a shell with `kubetail` installed
nix-shell https://github.com/kubetail-org/kubetail-nix/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

# Install to your profile
nix-env -i -f https://github.com/kubetail-org/kubetail-nix/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

Usage

After installation, run:

kubetail --help

For more information on using Kubetail, visit the source repo or the official documentation.

Development

Flake

docker compose up

Start a shell inside the container:

docker exec -it kubetail-nix-dev bash

This project will be mounted in the /kubetail-nix directory where you can run nix build ., etc.

Non-Flake

Start a shell inside a nix container:

docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/kubetail-nix nixos/nix bash

This project will be mounted in the /kubetail-nix directory where you can run nix-build ., etc.
