jvolkman / bazel-nix-python-example Goto Github PK

I have a passing familiarity with nix, bazel, and buck. I'm trying to set something up for myself involving some combinations of those things (not opinionated) that will build my python project(s). So far this repo looks like a great starting point, but I'm starting at square 1 with ubuntu. How did you intend this to be used?

I put together this Dockerfile that works, but how did you set things up? What's the right way? I don't know what I'm doing, just that I got the following to work, and I'd like to simplify the process. I'm not happy with using docker, for example, but I don't want to clutter my filesystem trying tons of different things either.

FROM nixos/nix

RUN nix-env -i bazel

WORKDIR /apps
RUN git clone https://github.com/jvolkman/bazel-nix-python-example.git
WORKDIR bazel-nix-python-example

RUN nix-shell -p openjdk8 --command "bazel build //... && bazel run //app:test_pandas"

To run my dockerfile, save it as Dockerfile in a new folder myfolder. In the myfolder directory, run

docker build . -t tmp:tmp

Hi @jvolkman,

This example got some attention from users of rules_nixpkgs. I think it would be even more discoverable if we could add it there, in the examples section. Would you agree with that ?

I can do the PR, or let you make the commits if you prefer. If you do not want to upstream it at all, I will just add a readme with a link to this repo.

What do you think ?
