Nix Flake templates and Drupal Flake

January 30th, 2026

Earlier, I wrote about my Nix Flake templates I've started to build.

Another example of Nix Flake templates is the Drupal Flake project that I discussed with John Locke and recently became a contributor to.

To create a flake for a new Drupal application is simple as running nix flake init -t git+https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal_flake and it will download all the files from the Git repository.

I've started to use Drupal Flake for some of my projects, including getting the old PHP South Wales website running locally on PHP 7.4, and it's worked very well.
