Move nix-serve guide from Nix manual to nix.dev #460

Open fricklerhandwerk opened 1 year ago

fricklerhandwerk commented 1 year ago

Move the contents of Serving a Nix store via HTTP to a stand-alone guide on nix.dev.

Up-to-date documentation on nix-serve: https://github.com/edolstra/nix-serve

Important add a redirect on nixos.org, otherwise existing links will break

Context

This is to be able to implement https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7769 without loss.

It's not clear how important this use case is, but for the sake of completeness we should find a new home for this guide and later decide if it's still supposed to be a supported use case.

@wamirez would you like to take a crack at this?

Hii @fricklerhandwerk, i can take this up. So do you just want the contents of serving a nix store via HTTP to be included as a separate section in the documentation, but not under any specific categories like tutorials or guides? Or, as mentioned in the issue title, would you prefer that we create a dedicated section specifically for "nix-serve"?

fricklerhandwerk commented 1 month ago

Oh, that cache tutorial is supposed to be the replacement for the nix-serve guide. I suggest placing a redirect in the Nix manual and removing the page there.
