mint-anywhere
Inspiration
What it does
uses CDK to build a mint, Nix to create a systemd module service, and nixos-anywhere to turn any machine into a NixOS machine so you can go from having a machine to running a mint blitzschnell.
How we built it
I wrote a NixOS module for CDK's mintd tool, then used nixos-anywhere to deploy the nixOS machine configuration. Works nicely with nix-bitcoin to configure the Bitcoin node and Lightning node along with it.
Challenges we ran into
Need to think about defaults better, nix-to-TOML config is a little awkward, and couldn't deploy to a real hoster from scratch because we'd have to sync bitcoin.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
a bunch of the Nix work on CDK will probably be upstreamed!
What we learned
Interop gud. Rust compile times less gud.
What's next for mint-anywhere
A nice repo with examples so people can let a thousand mints bloom.
