#kubenix — Public Fediverse posts

My talk proposal for #NixCon has been accepted! I'll be presenting at #NixCon2026 on how to bring #Nix's functional purity to #CloudNative #PlatformEngineering.
We'll move beyond #Helm templating and #Docker builds to derive reproducible #Kubernetes deployments using #Kubenix and #NixOS modules, unlocking hermetic builds, accurate #SBOM⁠s, and truly auditable infrastructure.

Feel free to reach out if you have a specific use-case to be covered, I'd love to hear from you!

Had an incredible time at #ContainerDays2025! I'm still amazed by the fantastic feedback on my #Kubenix talk, as well as the tremendous interest in #Nix within the #CNCF and #Kubernetes communities. Thank you all for making my time in Hamburg so memorable!

Excited to give my talk today at #ContainerDays, stage #K4 at 10:05! I'll show how #Kubenix leverages #NixOS modules to generate reproducible, declarative #Kubernetes manifests, no more #YAML templating. See how #Kubenix connects with #Helm and builds #OCI container images with #Nix, simplifying cloud-native stacks. Don't miss it if you want more control and reliability in your infra!

Given that #kubenix seems unmaintained, what do #nix users use these days to overcome their allergy to handcrafted #YAML ?
Is there any cool kid on the block that's worth considering?

Thank y'all for the first day of #Rejekts2025 with great talks and inspiring conversations!

I am excited that I got a spot for the #LightningTalk​s.
Looking forward to present you #Kubenix a tool leveraging #NixOS modules to declare #K8s workloads fully declarative.
I will also show how its #Helm integration essentially bridges the #CloudNative and #Nix ecosystem effectively, while offering additionally type safety.

See you at 18:15 in the hall #TheNash!

@arichtman I am not currently using #kubenix, but this might be the push I needed to try it out! I'm building out a #k3s cluster with #NixOS and still rely on Ansible to deploy all the k8s resources, I'd love to change that.
