appvm project status

[kwinz]

Hi!

The last release of appvm is already more than 5 years old, and the installation documentation still states that This is a temporary solution until appvm is upstreamed to nixpkgs or Nix flakes are released. I couldn't find an actively developed fork of appvm straight away either.

Has development moved to nixpkgs here?
And if so, how do I use it in its new nixpkgs form?

Or have you moved on and development is basically halted without anybody taking over? Could you please help me understand the status of appvm @jollheef ? Perhaps even add a small note to README.md as a hint to future users? Much appreciated!

well, nixpkgs is pointing to this repo currently

iirc there is something from @alyssais, but IDK how mature or usable SpectrumOS is rn

Hello,

Thank you for the reminder to sync everything :)

The current status of the project is "it works, but I don’t routinely check support in environments other than my own".

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please feel free to open an issue.

And if so, how do I use it in its new nixpkgs form?

virtualisation.appvm = {
  enable = true;
  user = "your_username";
};
