# Nix User Repositories
After releasing to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea, GoReleaser can generate and publish
a _nix derivation_ to an existing [Nix User Repository][nur].
The `nix` section specifies how the pkgs should be created:
```yaml title=".goreleaser.yaml"
nix:
- #
# Name of the recipe
#
# Default: the project name.
# Templates: allowed.
name: myproject
# IDs of the archives to use.
# Empty means all IDs.
ids:
- foo
- bar
# GOAMD64 to specify which amd64 version to use if there are multiple
# versions from the build section.
#
# Default: v1.
goamd64: v1
# URL which is determined by the given Token (github, gitlab or gitea).
#
# Default depends on the client.
# Templates: allowed.
url_template: "https://github.mycompany.com/foo/bar/releases/download/{{ .Tag }}/{{ .ArtifactName }}"
# Git author used to commit to the repository.
commit_author:
name: goreleaserbot
email: bot@goreleaser.com
# The project name and current git tag are used in the format string.
#
# Templates: allowed.
commit_msg_template: "{{ .ProjectName }}: {{ .Tag }}"
# Path for the file inside the repository.
#
# Default: pkgs/<name>/default.nix.
# Templates: allowed.
path: pkgs/foo.nix
# Your app's homepage.
#
# Templates: allowed.
# Default: inferred from global metadata.
homepage: "https://example.com/"
# Your app's description.
#
# Templates: allowed.
# Default: inferred from global metadata.
description: "Software to create fast and easy drum rolls."
# License name.
#
# Default: inferred from global metadata.
license: "mit"
# Setting this will prevent goreleaser to actually try to commit the updated
# package - instead, it will be stored on the dist directory only,
# leaving the responsibility of publishing it to the user.
#
# If set to auto, the release will not be uploaded to the repository
# in case there is an indicator for prerelease in the tag e.g. v1.0.0-rc1
#
# Templates: allowed.
skip_upload: true
# Runtime dependencies of the package.
dependencies:
- zsh
- chromium
- name: bash
os: linux
- name: fish
os: darwin
# Custom install script.
#
# Default: 'mkdir -p $out/bin; cp -vr $binary $out/bin/$binary', and
# `makeWrapper` if `dependencies` were provided.
# Templates: allowed.
install: |
mkdir -p $out/bin
cp -vr ./foo $out/bin/foo
# Custom additional install instructions.
# This has the advantage of preventing you to rewrite the `install` script
# if the defaults work for you.
#
# Templates: allowed.
extra_install: |
installManPage ./manpages/foo.1.gz
# Custom post_install script.
# Could be used to do any additional work after the "install" script
#
# Templates: allowed.
post_install: |
installShellCompletion ./completions/*

## Things not supported
- Generating packages that compile from source (using `buildGoModule`)
- Generating packages when `archives.format` is `binary`
## Dependencies
### `nix-prefetch-url`
The `nix-prefetch-url` binary must be available in the `$PATH` for the
publishing to work.
[iss4034]: https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/issues/4034
### GitHub Actions
To publish a package from one repository to another using GitHub Actions, you
cannot use the default action token.
You must use a separate token with content write privileges for the tap
repository.
You can check the
[resource not accessible by integration](../errors/resource-not-accessible-by-integration.md)
for more information.
## Setting up a NUR
To set up a Nix User Repository, follow the instructions in their
[repository][nur].
Then, you'll need to:
- publish a release with GoReleaser: it should create the package at
`./pkgs/{name}/default.nix` or whatever path you set it up to
- make sure `./flake.nix` is correct with what you want, especially the
`systems` bit
- add your package to `./default.nix`
- edit your `README.md` removing the template stuff
That's it!
