This template pulls together resources from a few different sources to provide a template for a Tauri project in Nix, initialized with vanilla HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Starting from the vanilla project generated by create-tauri-app, this also includes a Docker/Podman container for running cargo tauri build (recommended here), a shell.nix as suggested here with a few small additions, and a justfile containing a few commands to get started.
This is by no means a reproducible setup, but it's good enough for me to start hacking on a personal project. I would be thrilled to see someone come along and develop something more robust!
Run just --list to see possible commands.
The AppImage generated by just docker-build does not seem to work with appimage-run on NixOS. There is an open Tauri issue on this here. This repo's shell.nix does bundle libthai so it should theoretically work, but I'm getting a different panic that "this application was not detected as an AppImage; this might be a security issue". Don't know what's up with that yet. 😬
Lastly, this assumes that rust and cargo are ready to use on your PATH. shell.nix will execute cargo install tauri-cli if it does not appear to be installed.
(As recommended by create-tauri-app. Personally, I'm fond of Doom Emacs!)
