MixOS

This repo contains configuration for a linux distribution optimised for live audio/video mixing. Very much work in progress.

It is based on NixOS (atomic immutable deploys are quite suited for this usecase).

Configurations

Every configuration has a corresponding directory in configurations/.

• zver: base configuration targeting x86_64 machines with NVidia GPUs

Requirements

run nix develop or if you use direnv direnv allow .

install git hook/s to check nix linting rules:

make git-hooks

fix linting errors in nix:

make nixfmt

Quick start

To build the distribution and burn a bootable drive (make sure to use a fast drive), do:

$ ./deploy.sh image-on <configuration> /dev/sdX

To deploy changes to an already-running machine, do:

$ ./deploy.sh sync <configuration> <hostname or IP address>

If you want to build everything locally instead of on the target machine, use remote instead of sync.
