Ok I tried this, how does it work?

  nixpkgs = fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tarball/nixos-23.11";  \
   pkgs = import nixpkgs { config = {}; overlays = []; };
in
{
  hello = pkgs.callPackage ./yacy.nix { };
}

added that and called nix-shell it created things but no output. I looked at the code and I find todos. it this work in progress?

@jmikedupont2 I created an updated version based off milahu's derivation. You can install it as a standard NUR package (nur.repos.spitzeqc.yacy), or as a service

let
  nur-no-pkgs = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/archive/master.tar.gz") {};
in
{
  imports = [ nur-no-pkgs.repos.spitzeqc.modules.yacy ];
  services.yacy.enable = true;
}
