Hi @stnert I've started packaging Passbolt however I will probably need some time in order to make it well polished, right now the package is more an unusable draft rather than something that can be used.

I'm still figuring things out.

I also added https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/304480 for go-passbolt-cli, if someone wants to test.

@AkechiShiro any update on this? i see you do have a draft here:

https://github.com/AkechiShiro/nixpkgs/blob/079aaa342e5a089cf9a5b17f7427881f394ec762/pkgs/by-name/pa/passbolt/package.nix

I haven't packaged a service for nixpkgs with options before so I am not sure how to do that. I am just making the link to your work available for others to try out and review as I would hate to see your work go to waste. I hope you don't mind. Thanks

@adam248 Hello,

I didn't PR it because the package doesn't build, I haven't figured out how to fix the build, afterwards adding options would be writing a nix module, I haven't done any yet too.

[adam248]

I have reached out to the passbolt community to see if any dev is willing to come over here and discuss.

@AkechiShiro Could you explain a bit what problems occur during building? I tried to build your package using nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./passbolt.nix {}' and it worked. It produced some warnings along the way but the the build finished and created a result directory with a bunch of binaries and php files.

WARNING: composer files validation failed

The validation of the composer.json and composer.lock failed.
Make sure that the file composer.lock is consistent with composer.json.

This often indicates an issue with the upstream project, which can typically be resolved by reporting the issue to the relevant project maintainers.

To address the issue efficiently, follow one of these steps:
  1. File an issue in the project's issue tracker with detailed information (run 'composer update --lock --no-install' to fix the issue), and apply any available remote patches as a temporary solution with (with fetchpatch).
  2. If an immediate fix is needed or if reporting upstream isn't suitable, develop a temporary local patch.

This check is not blocking, but it is recommended to fix the issue.

The comment in your package.nix indicates that this is the problem. I do not know much about php and composer but maybe we can just ignore that as a project specific oddity?

[AkechiShiro]

You are correct, this was however failing before I believe, I've just tried using 4.9.1 and the package does build

[DasenB]

I did a bit more testing. For me both 4.5.2 and 4.9.1 build after only changing the version number. Not even the hashes had to be changed. How is that even possible?!

[AkechiShiro]

Hm not sure but on my side I had to change the hashes @DasenB

Maybe build using an empty hash and you should see it will fail with a new hash.

EDIT : Moved details/errors and logs to the PR

EDIT 2 : @adam248 I've made some progress but I doubt I can do more without help from passbolt devs on the last comment I've left in the PR.
