azure-pipelines-agent on NixOS
I am trying to install azure-pipelines-agent on NixOS, because I want to use nix in my pipeline. I am finding this to be very difficult; the scripts like installdependencies.sh do not support NixOS ...
I tried this base on my experience:
- Manually Install Dependencies – Since the script does not support NixOS, you may need to manually install the required dependencies using Nix packages.
- Use a Containerized Approach – Running the agent inside a Docker container with a supported Linux distribution might be an easier workaround.
- Modify the Installation Script – You could try adapting the installdependencies.sh script to work with NixOS by replacing package installation commands with Nix equivalents.
