WORKSPACE: use nix for python/go if available

This introduces Nix, the package manager, and nixpkgs, the package
collection, into hscloud's bazel build machinery.

There are two reasons behind this:

 - on NixOS, it's painful or at least very difficult to run hscloud out
   of the box. Especially with rules_go, that download a blob from the
   Internet to get a Go toolchain, it just fails outright. This solves
   this and allows hscloud to be used on NixOS.

 - on non-NixOS platforms that still might have access to Nix this
   allows to somewhat hermeticize the build. Notably, Python now comes
   from nixpkgs, and is fabricobbled in a way that makes pip3_import
   use Nix system dependencies for ncurses and libpq.

This has been tested to run ci_presubmit on NixOS 20.09pre and Gentoo
~amd64.

hscloud is the main monorepo of the Warsaw Hackerspace infrastructure code.

Any time you see a //path/like/this, it refers to the root of hscloud, ie. the path path/like/this in this repository. Perforce and/or Bazel users should feel right at home.

Viewing this documentation

For a pleaseant web viewing experience, see this documentation in hackdoc. This will allow you to read this markdown file (and others) in a pretty, linkable view.

Getting started

See //doc/codelabs for tutorials on how to use hscloud.

If you want to browse the source of hscloud in a web browser, use cs.hackerspace.pl.

If you want some other help, talk to q3k, informatic or your therapist.

Directory Structure

Directories you should care about:

  • app: external services that we host that are somewhat universal: matrix, covid-formity, etc.
  • bgpwtf: code related to our little ISP
  • cluster: code related to our Kubernetes cluster (k0.hswaw.net)
  • dc: code related to datacenter automation
  • devtools: code related to developer tooling, like gerrit or hackdoc
  • doc: high-level documentation that doesn't fit anywhere else, ie. codelabs
  • hswaw: Warsaw Hackerspace specific/internal services. The line between this and app is unfortunately blurry.
  • personal: user's personal (experimental) directories
  • kube, go: code specific to languages but general to the whole of hscloud

Licensing

Unless noted otherwise, code in hscloud is licensed under the BSD 0-clause license - see COPYING.
