NixOS Test Driver Manual\n\nOpinionated, hands-on documentation for the NixOS integration test driver.\n\nThis repository contains the source for the manual published at:\n\n- \u003chttps://applicative.systems/nixos-test-driver-manual\u003e\n\nThe goal of this manual is to complement the [official NixOS manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-nixos-tests) with practical tutorials, feature guides, best practices, and runnable examples.\n\n## What is in this repository?\n\n- `docs/`: the MkDocs source for the published manual\n- `examples/`: runnable example tests used throughout the documentation\n- `flake.nix`: development, formatting, documentation, and example test outputs\n- `mkdocs.yml`: site structure and theme configuration\n\n## Read the manual\n\nGood starting points:\n\n- [Setup](./docs/setup.md)\n- [Tutorials](./docs/tutorials/index.md)\n- [Features](./docs/features/index.md)\n- [Best Practices](./docs/best-practices/index.md)\n\n## Build the documentation\n\nBuild the static site with Nix:\n\n```console\nnix build .#documentation\n```\n\nThe generated site will be available through the `result/` symlink.\n\n## Run the example tests\n\nThis repository exposes several example tests as flake packages:\n\n```console\nnix build .#test-minimal\nnix build .#test-ping\nnix build .#test-browser\n```\n\nFor interactive debugging examples:\n\n```console\nnix build .#test-browser.driverInteractive\n./result/bin/run-nixos-test\n```\n\n## Development\n\nEnter the development shell:\n\n```console\nnix develop\n```\n\nFormat the repository:\n\n```console\nnix fmt\n```\n\n## Maintainers\n\nThis manual is maintained by [Applicative Systems](https://applicative.systems).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapplicative-systems%2Fnixos-test-driver-manual","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fapplicative-systems%2Fnixos-test-driver-manual","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapplicative-systems%2Fnixos-test-driver-manual/lists"}
