Hands-on NixOS for Beginners Workshop
2025-05-24 , Workshop room

Heard about Nix or NixOS but never taken the chance to try it? We will help you get started with this quick hands-on workshop!


This workshop will introduce the concepts of NixOS to beginners. Participants will be guided through the configuration of a NixOS system, setting up additional services from the Nix Packages collection and configuring their user environment.

Due to the short duration of the workshop, virtual machines running NixOS will be provisioned ahead of the workshop.

Requirements

  • Basic experience with using a Linux shell.
  • A computer with an SSH client.
  • A stable internet connection.
