nixos-wiki-infra

This project contains the setup of the official NixOS Wiki (wiki.nixos.org).

Additionally, this project's GitHub Issues host a space for coordination and discussion of wiki activities, in tandem with the Matrix channel #wiki:nixos.org.

Examples

Checkout ./targets/nixos-wiki.nixos.org for an example terraform deployment on hetzner cloud.
