A modern Rust re-implementation of the components of the Nix package manager.
Learn MoreSnix is architected with a focus on composability. Different components representing different aspects of Nix can be combined and extended freely, allowing it to be tailored to your usecase.
Designed to be embedded in your project, it opens up the possibility to interact with Nix expressions and concepts more natively than conventional Nix CLI-based tools.
Snix has a strong commitment to reliability and compatibility with Nix' behaviour, resulting in an extensive test suite, documentation and regression testing.
With its own content-addressed storage engine, Snix can store and exchange store path contents in a much more granular fashion, while providing great deduplication, consistency and integrity across build artifacts and dependencies.
While potentially doing thing differently underneath, it provides a "Nix-compatible surface". This results in nixpkgs compatibility, allowing to produce the same build expressions as Nix, bit-by-bit, and interoperability with existing Nix binary caches.
