Migrating to Flakes gives us a few nice benefits:
- Inputs are actually sane: no more
<acm-aws> and $NIX_PATH hack.
- Better caching via GitHub Actions using the more efficient magic-nix-cache-action
- Ability to use the easier unstable
nix CLI
Plan:
- Decouple Nixpkgs from Niv and into a Flake.
- Migrate
default.nix and shell.nix into flake.nix
shell.nix becomes #.devShells.<arch>.defaultdefault.nix gets combined with #, since it already contains packages and nixosConfigurations
- Migrate Terraform files to use the Flake file
