Summary

Add lightpanda, the headless browser designed for AI and automation, as a system package on hosts/giga/default.nix.

How it works

Lightpanda isn't in nixpkgs and builds with Zig (with many deps: v8, curl, boringssl, sqlite3, etc.). Building from source takes 10+ minutes due to V8 compilation, so this uses a stdenv.mkDerivation that downloads the official prebuilt binary from GitHub releases.

Package details

  • Derivation: pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation
  • Source: https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser/releases/download/nightly/lightpanda-x86_64-linux
  • Hash: sha256-uaew+sXDkkxuaHgfzEGA5bXJHmEdw7WCr3qThdhaMqE=
  • Binary size: ~80MB ELF executable
  • Version: 1.0.0-nightly.8320+a0fba9ba

Verification

$ lightpanda version
1.0.0-nightly.8320+a0fba9ba

Files changed

## Summary Add lightpanda, the headless browser designed for AI and automation, as a system package on hosts/giga/default.nix. ## How it works Lightpanda isn't in nixpkgs and builds with Zig (with many deps: v8, curl, boringssl, sqlite3, etc.). Building from source takes 10+ minutes due to V8 compilation, so this uses a `stdenv.mkDerivation` that downloads the official prebuilt binary from GitHub releases. ### Package details - **Derivation**: `pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation` - **Source**: `https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser/releases/download/nightly/lightpanda-x86_64-linux` - **Hash**: `sha256-uaew+sXDkkxuaHgfzEGA5bXJHmEdw7WCr3qThdhaMqE=` - **Binary size**: ~80MB ELF executable - **Version**: `1.0.0-nightly.8320+a0fba9ba` ### Verification ```bash $ lightpanda version 1.0.0-nightly.8320+a0fba9ba ``` ## Files changed - `flake.lock` - Updated (lightpanda input was already present) - `flake.nix` - Updated (lightpanda input was already present) - `hosts/giga/default.nix` - Added derivation to `environment.systemPackages`
Add a stdenv.mkDerivation that downloads the official prebuilt binary
from GitHub releases. Lightpanda is not in nixpkgs and builds with Zig,
so using the prebuilt binary avoids the long V8 compilation time.
