Okay, first problem with Flox: there doesn't seem to be an easy / generic way to install it 😅
The install docs (https://flox.dev/docs/install-flox/install/) have links to DEB and RPM packages, as well as instructions for Nix; but I'm on another distro... I suppose step 1 would be to install Nix? 🤔
(Instructions unclear; got my nix stuck in GPU fans)

Next talk at #scale23x, we're moving to #planetnix, with "You Know Nix. Your Team Doesn't. Now What?" by Rok Garbas.
IOW, how to usr #Flox to evangelize #Nix / help your coworkers to get on board with Nix but with a gentler learning curve.
-
#PlanetNix starts tomorrow in Pasadena. Join us to talk reproducibility, secure software by construction, and just some great community conversation.
There is also some limited edition swag.
And thanks to our sponsors!

We’re at @cfgmgmtcamp in Ghent! 👋
Big shoutout to Tanja, Stahnke, Rok, and Dan for representing the Flox crew.
👉 Wednesday at 2pm — join our workshop where we’ll use #Flox to introduce the core ideas behind the Nix ecosystem without requiring you to learn the Nix language or climb its steep learning curve.
You can also swing by our booth to chat about reproducible environments and the power of #Nix ❄️

You got a new laptop for Christmas. Suh-weet!
You absolutely want to build software with it, which means setting up your local dev environment. Easier said than done! Experience has taught you that setting up a local dev environment is a Sisyphean enterprise: things always break, so you find yourself repeating the same motions over and over again.
This time, however, you’ve got #Flox. And that makes all the difference.

🎉 Wow, who knew #Kubernetes needed another layer of complexity? Enter #Flox, where you can now enjoy the thrill of pulling hash-pinned packages and living in fear of #cryptographic #hashes, all while pretending your deployments are suddenly faster. 🚀 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" like making your #DevOps life an even bigger nightmare. 😜

Layering and composition are two powerful ways to create and share #Flox environments.
✅ Layering gives you flexibility in emergent, unpredictable situations.
✅ Composition gives you reproducibility, auditability, and predictable behavior at runtime—at the cost of some upfront design and testing.
Read the full guide for examples, pros & cons, and practical workflows 👉 https://flox.dev/blog/layering-and-composing-flox-environments/

We’ve been talking a lot about Build & Publish lately but here’s something for those who may not know #Flox yet.
In this quick demo video, Ross shows what that looks like:
- Installing tools
- Spinning up a dev environment
- Keeping everything portable, reproducible, and easy to shareWatch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aidi5svDml8
-
How many tools do you use to manage your tooling?
#Flox gives you a new way to work with packages and build reproducible development environments without using containers.
✅ It gives users transparent, no-hassle access to the tools, files, and environment variables in their local systems.
✅ It enables teams to create portable, reproducible development environments that behave the same way anywhere, taking advantage of available OS, CPU, and even GPU capabilities. -
@mateovich yeah! It's called @neodb and another one in the works called #Flox!

I can't help but try out every new #nix tool. I've been using #devbox to manage all my non-#python project dependencies. I'm a big fan: the https://jetpack.io team is so responsive to feedback. Gave #flox a try today which is similar but uses their own rolling release #nixpkgs "stability" channels. You get your pick of triweekly, weekly, or monthly freshness.
Should I do a blog post comparison of @domenkozar's https://devenv.sh, flox, and Devbox? 🤔

Capture STDOUT, STDERR and return status in shell variables
This second answer ( the one with the banana function ) shows how to capture all three to variables in bash without needing tmp files
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13806626/capture-both-stdout-and-stderr-in-bash
----
banana() {
echo "banana to stdout"
echo >&2 "banana to stderr"
return 42
}
--------
. <({ berr=$({ bout=$(banana); bret=$?; } 2>&1; declare -p bout bret >&2); declare -p berr; } 2>&1)
----Then check values of $bout, $berr, $bret
