Earlier this month I mentioned on Mastodon that I was replacing a Docker-based local development environment at my day job with a Nix-based one, orchestrated with overmind and a justfile. There was quite a lot of interest in particular in how overmind and just could be used to replace a container / compose-based local development. While I can’t share the details of the significantly more complex migration I did at my day job (yet!

Some folks on the internet were interested in how I had managed to ditch Docker for local development. This is a slightly overdue write up on how I typically do things now with Nix, Overmind and Just.

      NixOS on WSL2 is actually my development environment of choice these days! (With my tiling window manager komorebi, of course! 😀)

        I’ve been looking for a tiling vm for windows but haven’t come across komorebi, thanks for mentioning it!
