NixOS Megathread

[shdwmtr]

What is this?

This is a mega thread for all NixOS related issues and topics. As we (the Millennium authors) do NOT maintain/develop the NixOS distribution of Millennium, all related questions, issues, feature requests, etc should be here.

Not Maintained?

We (the Millennium authors) are not actively working on a NixOS build for Millennium, and we don't plan on making one. That said, we will officially recognize NixOS support if it's contributed to the repository; however, we will NOT bug fix it or update it in any fashion. All contributions must be done by the community - If there is an issue, it's up for you guys to solve!

Note

Do NOT open new issues, features, or ask related questions about NixOS-Millennium to any of the developers. We know nothing about NixOS, or how the Millennium is packaged within it. Thanks :)

However, you CAN ask specific questions to the Millennium developers about porting to NixOS. ex: "What does this module do? Does it need to be built for Millennium to work?" etc. Just don't ask us questions that require background knowledge of NixOS.

Getting in touch with the Millennium developers.

I will likely read this thread incredibly irregularly. if you need to reach out, ping me on our discord server.

@shdwmtr What happened to assets folder in next branch?

[shdwmtr]

assets used to be the location where the frontend UI, and the backend that served the frontend existed. Since Millennium is moving away from Python entirely, I rewrote the entirety of the backend in C++, instead of python.

New frontend location: https://github.com/SteamClientHomebrew/Millennium/tree/next/src/frontend
New C++ backend location: https://github.com/SteamClientHomebrew/Millennium/tree/next/src/backend

The C++ port is essentially a 1:1 replication of the old backend, just in C++.

Helpful Notes

Always take a look at the Millennium CI, it shows how Millennium is properly packaged.

I'm also having the pnpm-lock issue described in #504. Trying to build gives:
yq: error: argument files: can't open 'pnpm-lock.yaml': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pnpm-lock.yaml'
I tried following @yari-dog's advice but everything I tried still gave the same error. If anyone has anything that worked for them it would be very much appreciated

Yep stuck here as well

@DioKyrie-Git I've found the fix and made a PR. It should work for you whenever the changes get merged. In the meantime if you'd like you can change your flake definition from:
inputs.millennium.url = "git+https://github.com/SteamClientHomebrew/Millennium";
to:
inputs.millennium.url = "git+https://github.com/michaelgoldenn/Millennium"
And then it should work for you. If you do this though remember to change it back once the changes are pulled because I will likely not be updating my fork.

your pr was merged and i confirmed that the source nix was using contained your commit and i still got the same error, however doing this seemed to fix it immediately

unfortunately it still does not work due to a single failed test (when building watchdog i think?) though im pretty sure this could just be a system specific issue

FAILED tests/test_inotify_c.py::test_select_fd - OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/build/pytest-of-nixbld/pytest-0/test_select_fd0/new_file'
=========== 1 failed, 162 passed, 3 skipped, 3 deselected in 54.48s ============

Just a note to Nix users, as the previous Nix maintainer no longer wanted to work on the project, all Nix related build scripts have been removed on the dev branch. This means once dev gets merged in the next release, it will no longer work on Nix. Obviously support can be re-added in a better fashion, but as of right now its non-existent.

[Shochraos]

@not-a-cowfr Nope, I was able to reproduce the issue.
Millennium also doesn't build on my system.
Really sad to see that the current maintainer stepped down, but I'm really thankful for all the work they've put in!
