Just move to Guix already 😊

Due to popular demand :) Maak is now also available as an experimental Docker container, from DockerHub (also compatible with Podman).

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jjba23/maak/general

You can also build images of maak yourself, using guix pack. See the maak.scm file for more. To load these tarball images, you can do podman load < my.tar.gz

Then you can run Maak from the container, and bind your local filesystem to give access, for example:

docker container run -v /home/joe:/home/joe
docker.io/jjba23/maak:latest maak -f /home/joe/hacking/maak/maak.scm --list

Hey all I have an experimental Docker/Podman build here, which you can take for a spin, it works well for me, I don’t have any macOS devices to test on yet though, LMK.

Docker tarball hosted on 2 sites: https://limewire.com/d/IHVnx#Pz9q6EwDwL https://filebin.net/gevqik62yzwfxa8u/maak-docker.tar.gz

Once you downloaded this tarball, you can import it with docker load < my.tar.gz

Installing via Guix will always remain more convenient and powerful but docker/podman will work for cross-platform pretty good. Say for example you have a maak file with a task serve, at /home/joe/hacking/hygguile/maak.scm , you could run it as so:

docker container run -v /home/joe:/home/joe localhost/maak:latest maak -f /home/joe/hacking/hygguile/maak.scm serve

hey! yeah it is quite a similar idea, same gist of it , so you use the language directly to define your tasks. Though babashka does some more stuff, and is of course more mature

Here how a CLI run looks like doing maak --list in a directory with a maak.scm file: https://postimg.cc/9wYTHBjQ

thank you for your kind words ❤️ a lot of love and hours have gone into it

haha good one 😂👍 you might be onto something actually

the post has been revised and improved, and therefore i oublished again and deleted the old one, thanks

By default it is, but there are many non-free channels you can use to add the OG Linux kernel to your Guix install as well as nonfree drivers. A famous one is nonguix, which i also use in my config. They also make custom ISOs with the Linux kernel, which helps some hardware indeed. So the libre only policy is a non issue if you read into it a little, but unfortunately most people stay at surface level

With Guix you have reproducibility, freedom, good docs and peace of mind, also when configuring things more deeply. You also have a powerful programming language (Scheme / Lisp) with which to define your system config as well as your dotfiles. This is my insight after years of GNU/Linux usage. I run Guix on laptops, desktops and servers, and I never have configuration drift, as well as the benefit that I have a self documenting system.

thank you! really appreciate the kudos !

You might be interested in Emacs, it has (among many other things) artist-mode where you can draw with your cursor and obtain good ASCII art
