Attempted to download and build the discourse nixpkg but it failed due to a seeming pnpm dependency error: ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME Refusing to place a dependency under /build/source/frontend/discourse-types/node_modules with the invalid alias "@types/@glimmer__component" ERROR: pnpm fai…

Thanks for the report! I took a look, and this appears to be a pnpm version mismatch in the Nix package rather than a problem with the dependency hash. Discourse v2026.1.4 declares pnpm@10.28.0, while the Nix expression uses the moving pnpm_10 package, which currently resolves to 10.34.4. That newe…

The thing is, only Debian/Ubuntu are supported, not Nix. Is this for a development environment or for production?

this is just downloading the discourse package from nixpkgs using the nix package manager. Derivations work by essentially cloning and building a package directly from the source. I was just ephmerally installing a package like I would any other nixOS. Not specifically for dev or production, really…

Interesting. I believe the package isn’t officially by Discourse. A quick glance at the Maintainers does not list any member of the Discourse team that I have heard of. Plus, no Documentation about this AFAIK. For reference: this plugin I think

ah yes that is the nixpkg maintainer(s) the actual source is in the `let in` block line 55: let version = "2026.1.4"; src = fetchFromGitHub { owner = "discourse"; repo = "discourse"; rev = "v${version}"; sha256 = "sha256-kQYDKZIMsWByuCZQfUlwhoIew5QykVylRMh6xvrHIBY="; }; in …

Also you don’t need to commit to the full nixOS to test this the nix package manager is available for nearly any machine `nix-shell -p discourse` where the `nix-shell` starts a shell where whatever package(s), `-p`, are now available on the system. once the shell is closed those packages are no l…

testing to see if this thread has been locked as I can’t see one of my most recent edits. maybe the edit needs to be approved to display in the post

the thread is not locked and we are enjoying the topic and learning. Thank you for your contribution and welcome to Meta :+1:

no worries! thanks for the clarification. The reason I suspected some approval process is because I’d made this edit and didn’t see it come up on my end: [image] I still see just the text on the left side E: it just appeared

I may have jumped the gun on marking this solved as I haven’t actually tested that lol Nixpkgs allows for overlays and overrides of it’s packages locally. I can try to implement those changes to the derivation myself when I get some time and report back my findings

This is as far as I got: let nixpkgs = fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tarball/nixos-26.05"; pkgs = import nixpkgs { config = { }; overlays = with pkgs; [ (final: prev: { discourse = prev.discourse.override (oa: { pnpm_10 = oa.pnpm_10.overrideAttrs…
