flake-parts.bundlers

Adds the bundlers flake output attribute.

Use nix bundle to create self-contained executables from derivations.

Example:

perSystem = { pkgs, ... }: {
  bundlers.default = drv:
    pkgs.runCommand "bundle-${drv.name}" { } ''
      mkdir -p $out
      cp -r ${drv}/* $out/
    '';
};

Then run nix bundle --bundler .# nixpkgs#hello to bundle hello using your default bundler.

Installation

To use these options, add inside the mkFlake:

imports = [
  inputs.flake-parts.flakeModules.bundlers
];

Run nix flake lock and you're set.
