NACAMURA Mitsuhiro	c6ec06304a	docs: update NixOS wiki link (#12940) ... Co-authored-by: J Stickler <julie.stickler@grafana.com>	1 year ago
Trevor Whitney	683efa0f4d	Refactor nix to make it easier to import into other projects (#7635) ... **What this PR does / why we need it**: This makes it easier for projects that depend on Loki (like enterprise logs) to more easily import the Loki nix flake in order to use the overlays and configurations it contains. It also removes the `build-vars.nix` because it was super annoying without really getting us much.	3 years ago
Trevor Whitney	a369189752	Add nix configuration (#7020) ... **What this PR does / why we need it**: This PR adds nix configuration to the Loki repo to make it easier for people who use nix to integrate building Loki into their existing workflows. For example, I have a `direnv` hook that uses nix shell to make sure I have the correct version of all dependent binaries (ie. `go`, `golangci-lint`, etc) on my `$PATH` whenever I change into the Loki directory. I find this especially useful for building with `CGO` enabled as it requires a C compiler with systemd headers to be available on the path. Furthermore, by having a `flake.nix` in the root of this repo, it will make it easier for users of the nix package manager to grab a specific version of Loki for their own systems / projects. This PR does _not_ attempt to replace any existing build processes, this is merely supplemental. All these nix configurations wrap existing `Makefile` targets, and the addition of these files will have no effect on anyone not using nix. Please see the README.md included in this PR for more information. **Checklist** - [X] Documentation added Co-authored-by: Christian Simon <simon@swine.de>	3 years ago
