Nix Flakes[[0]] are a more modular way of expressing nix derivations.
The `flake.nix` file describes:
- How to build the project, or components of a projet, via `nix build`
- What "checks" can run for a project, which can be executed via
`nix flake check`
- What binaries can be run, e.g. `nix run .#rad` to execute the CLI
This approach is preferable since a lot of the Nix ecosystem is using
Flakes -- despite it still being marked as experimental.
One interesting benefit, that needs confirming, is that a check can be
run from a remote Git source. So if someone creates a patch on
Radicle, someone else with the `nix` binary can execute:
nix flake check git+https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5?refs=patches/<patch id>
This means that anyone with `nix` can check patches without having to
fetch the patch itself.
Another obvious benefit will be that it allows the Radicle binaries to
enter the Nix ecosystem.
The big caveat to both of the above is that, currently, the tests are
failing while running `nix flake check`. They are currently disabled
with `doCheck = false`. They are potentially failing due to some
strange sandboxing issues which are being looked into.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implemention of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.
- Git 2.34 or later
- OpenSSH 9.1 or later with
ssh-agent
📀 From binaries
Requires
curlandtar.
Run the following command to install the latest binary release:
sh <(curl -sSf https://radicle.xyz/install)
📦 From source
Requires the Rust toolchain.
You can install the Radicle stack from source, by running the following commands from inside this repository:
cargo install --path radicle-cli --force --locked
cargo install --path radicle-node --force --locked
cargo install --path radicle-remote-helper --force --locked
Or directly from our seed node:
cargo install --force --locked --git https://seed.radicle.xyz/z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5.git \
radicle-cli radicle-node radicle-remote-helper
Running
Systemd unit files are provided for the node and HTTP daemon under the
/systemd folder. They can be used as a starting point for further
customization.
Additionally, a Dockerfile is included under both crates.
For running in debug mode, see HACKING.md.
