Any plans to add this to nixpkgs? #6

Open ChecksumDev opened 2 months ago

Hi,

I recently created an issue #325379 in the official nixpkgs repository regarding Checkmk. I came across this repository and thought it would be incredibly helpful if Checkmk could be made accessible in the same way as the Zabbix Agent. Being able to enable it as a service directly in the Nix configuration would be a huge help and I wanted to know if there were any plans for you to try this.

Thanks!

Packaging the agent should be possible, but I have no plans to do so. I'm not firm enough with the nixos world to know about the process of adding an package and how to write an idiomatic nixos package. I'm happy to help with the technical aspects of the checkmk agent, just ping me in the pull request or issue.

Packaging the checkmk server software is quite a different story. As far as i know this is quite hard, although all the pieces should be available in the official repository. I'm not aware of any linux distribution providing their own checkmk packages, as checkmk provides official open source packages for debian and redhat.
