# rust-overlay
![CI](https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/workflows/CI/badge.svg)
![sync-channels](https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/workflows/sync-channels/badge.svg)
*Pure and reproducible* overlay for binary distributed rust toolchains.
A compatible but better replacement for rust overlay of [mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla][mozilla].
Hashes of toolchain components are pre-fetched (and compressed) in tree (`manifests` directory),
so the evaluation is *pure* and no need to have network (but [nixpkgs-mozilla][mozilla] does).
It also works well with [Nix Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes).
- The toolchain hashes are auto-updated daily using GitHub Actions.
- Current oldest supported version is stable 1.29.0 and beta/nightly 2018-09-13
(which are randomly chosen).
## Use as a classic Nix overlay
You can put the code below into your `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays.nix`.
```nix
[ (import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz")) ]
```
Then the provided attribute paths are available in nix command.
```bash
$ nix-env -iA rust-bin.stable.latest.default # Do anything you like.
```
Alternatively, you can install it into nix channels.
```bash
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz rust-overlay
$ nix-channel --update
```
And then feel free to use it anywhere like
`import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [ (import <rust-overlay>) ]; }` in your nix shell environment.
## Use with Nix Flakes
This repository already has flake support.
NOTE: **Only the output `overlay` is stable and preferred to be used in your flake.**
Other outputs like `packages` and `defaultPackage` are for human try and are subject to change.
For a quick play, just use `nix shell` to bring the latest stable rust toolchain into scope.
(All commands below requires preview version of Nix with flake support.)
```shell
$ nix shell github:oxalica/rust-overlay
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.49.0 (e1884a8e3 2020-12-29)
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.49.0 (d00d64df9 2020-12-05)
```
### Flake example: NixOS Configuration
Here's an example of using it in nixos configuration.
```nix
{
description = "My configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
rust-overlay.url = "github:oxalica/rust-overlay";
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, rust-overlay, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
./configuration.nix # Your system configuration.
({ pkgs, ... }: {
nixpkgs.overlays = [ rust-overlay.overlay ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.rust-bin.stable.latest.default ];
})
];
};
};
};
}
```
### Flake example: Using `devShell` and `nix develop`
Running `nix develop` will create a shell with the default nightly Rust toolchain installed:
```nix
{
description = "A devShell example";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
rust-overlay.url = "github:oxalica/rust-overlay";
flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, rust-overlay, flake-utils, ... }:
flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:
let
overlays = [ (import rust-overlay) ];
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
inherit system overlays;
};
in
with pkgs;
{
devShell = mkShell {
buildInputs = [
openssl
pkgconfig
exa
fd
rust-bin.nightly.latest.default
];
shellHook = ''
alias ls=exa
alias find=fd
'';
};
}
);
}
```
## Usage Examples
- Latest stable or beta rust profile.
```nix
rust-bin.stable.latest.default # Stable rust, default profile. If not sure, always choose this.
rust-bin.beta.latest.default # Wanna test beta compiler.
rust-bin.stable.latest.minimal # I don't need anything other than rustc, cargo, rust-std. Bye rustfmt, clippy, etc.
rust-bin.beta.latest.minimal
```
It provices the same components as which installed by `rustup install`'s `default` or `minimal` profiles.
Almost always, `default` is what you want for development.
*Note: For difference between `default` and `minimal` profiles, see
[rustup - Profiles][rust-profiles]*
- Latest stable or beta rust profile, **with extra components or target support**.
```nix
rust-bin.stable.latest.default.override {
extensions = [ "rust-src" ];
targets = [ "arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf" ];
}
```
- Latest **nightly** rust profile.
```nix
rust-bin.selectLatestNightlyWith (toolchain: toolchain.default) # or `toolchain.minimal`
```
*Note: Don't use `rust-bin.nightly.latest`. Your build would fail when some components missing on some days.
Always use `selectLatestNightlyWith` instead.*
- Latest **nightly** rust profile, **with extra components or target support**.
```nix
rust-bin.selectLatestNightlyWith (toolchain: toolchain.default.override {
extensions = [ "rust-src" ];
targets = [ "arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf" ];
})
```
- A specific version of rust:
```nix
rust-bin.stable."1.48.0".default
rust-bin.beta."2021-01-01".default
rust-bin.nightly."2020-12-31".default
```
*Note: All of them are `override`-able like examples above.*
- If you already have a [`rust-toolchain` file for rustup][rust-toolchain],
you can simply use `fromRustupToolchainFile` to get the customized toolchain derivation.
```nix
rust-bin.fromRustupToolchainFile ./rust-toolchain
```
- Toolchain with specific rustc git revision.
**Warning: This may not always work (including the example below) since upstream CI periodly purges old artifacts.**
This is useful for development of rust components like [MIRI][miri], which requires a specific revision of rust.
```nix
rust-bin.fromRustcRev {
rev = "a2cd91ceb0f156cb442d75e12dc77c3d064cdde4";
components = {
rustc = "sha256-x+OkPVStX00AiC3GupIdGzWluIK1BnI4ZCBbg72+ZuI=";
rust-src = "sha256-13PpzzYtd769Xkb0QzHpNfYCOnLMWFolc9QyYq98z2k=";
};
}
```
- There also an cross-compilation example in [`examples/cross-aarch64`].
