What is it?

nixified.ai is a collection of Nix flake outputs that package AI software which is hard to run by hand because of package management and dependency complexity. Each output is a buildable, runnable package that you can start with a single nix run command.

The main current package is ComfyUI, a modular node-based Stable Diffusion interface, with NVIDIA variants available. Older packages such as InvokeAI and text-generation-webui are listed as deprecated and unmaintained, and users must pin to a specific earlier commit to run them. A wrapper script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the packages can use host GPU drivers, and the project notes that this also works on Windows through NixOS-WSL.

The flake provides a binary cache at ai.cachix.org, so users can download prebuilt packages instead of compiling them locally.

Key features

  • 01Packages AI tools as Nix flake outputs runnable with a single nix run command.
  • 02Provides a binary cache so prebuilt packages can be downloaded instead of compiled.
  • 03Wrapper scripts expose host GPU drivers to the packaged applications.
  • 04Works on NixOS and Linux, and on Windows through NixOS-WSL.

Use cases

  • Running ComfyUI for Stable Diffusion image generation on a NixOS machine.
  • Trying out AI applications without manually resolving CUDA or Python dependencies.
  • Running AI tools on Windows through NixOS-WSL with the host GPU.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Enable the nixified.ai binary cache in your Nix configuration (NixOS: configuration.nix)

  2. 2

    Run the NVIDIA package from the README

    nix run github:nixified-ai/flake/2aeb76f52f72c7a242f20e9bc47cfaa2ed65915d#invokeai-nvidia

Things to know

  • Primarily targets NixOS and Linux; Windows support requires NixOS-WSL.
  • The AMD package is broken due to missing Nixpkgs ROCm support.
  • Several packages (InvokeAI, textgen) are unmaintained and deprecated for lack of funding.
  • Licensed AGPL-3.0, with a stated transition to MIT for new contributions.
