The official variant will pin the official binaries from github:zen-browser/desktop, that's the option for people that doesn't trust the binaries of this repository. In other hand, the "twilight" package is pinned with artifacts that we store in this repository. The reason why this is default now is because I decided to follow the philosophy that is available in the official NixOS page(https://nixos.org/): reproducible, declarative and reliable. I know this could be a little bit invasive for some people but I think that they're just a minority and this is a problem that should be solved now given the time that has been passed since twilight was implemented.
Zen Browser
Originally from MarceColl/zen-browser-flake deleted and re-made repo for discoverability as "GitHub does not like to show forks in the search".
This is a flake for the Zen browser.
Features
- Linux support
- Available for x86_64 and aarch64
- Automatic updated Flake via GitHub Actions
- Both twilight and beta versions are distributed
- Integrated browser update checks are disabled
Installation
Caution
The Twilight version is not really that reproducible over time while trying to download the src again due the way how the official Zen browser repository is managing their releases, a new release replaces the previous one and so on. When using this version you should compromise yourself to update the flake with
nix flake update zen-browser. Or wait for a contribution that mitigates that behavior in that specific version of the browser.
Just add it to your NixOS flake.nix or home-manager:
inputs = {
zen-browser.url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
...
}
Integration
To integrate Zen Browser to your NixOS/Home Manager configuration, add the following to your environment.systemPackages or home.packages respectively:
# Only 'x86_64-linux' and 'aarch64-linux' are supported
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".default # beta
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".beta
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".twilight
Afterwards you can just build your configuration and start the Zen Browser
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch # or home-manager switch
$ zen
1Password
Zen has to be manually added to the list of browsers that 1Password will communicate with. See this wiki article for more information. To enable 1Password integration, you need to add the line .zen-wrapped to the file /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers.
