Enable building rustfs with Nix package manager.
It allows using rustfs on x86_64-linux, aarch64-linux, x86_64-darwin, and aarch64-darwin. Upstream (nixpkgs) can later adopt this package definition to provide cached builds for users of Nix.

The next step is to add a NixOS module. I have a stub one already in my niks3 binary cache that I use for testing that would need some love to be upstream-worthy (i.g. I hard-code s3 credentials)

I tested this on:

  • x86_64-linux
  • aarch64-linux
  • aarch64-darwin

What scope of NixOS integration do you want to have?
The next steps could be:

  • a quick start section for using the nix package
  • a NixOS module to run the systemd service on NixOS
  • CI integration for building the rustfs packages, potentially with a binary cache so that people can download pre-cached binaries
  • A NixOS integration VM test that can be also run CI that test the NixOS integration e2e.

Hey @Mic92 ,

Our goal is simply to allow NixOS users to get RustFS (SNSD) up and running quickly.

For advanced RustFS needs, we prefer to direct users to consult experts like you for commercial support. I believe that is the most reasonable approach.

However, if you have a better suggestion, we would value your professional advice on this.

Thank you!

I split the docs out into a separate PR, so details can be discussed here: #1103
We will get back to you regarding commercial support.
