* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2. * `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree "Elastic License". * Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`. Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream. * The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using: `NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
