We love open source tools like Flox! It’s a super cool tool that lets you create consistent developer environments across different machines and to share those environments with your colleagues too. They recently wrote about how Flox can create a turn key RAG stack on your development machine using Weaviate and Verba with Ollama for inference. Check out the blog here: https://lnkd.in/gKjJMZsU

Live from AI Night! The end of long & complex README files 🙌 You can spin up dev environments to build AI apps in seconds w/ Flox - thanks Leigh Capili for showing us!
Getting ready for the #AIDarkMode party at #GitHubUniverse, starting in a few hrs. Lots of sweet demos lined up + tons of giveaways and 🕺 🕹️ activities. We’ve had a blast working w/the Jam.dev, GitHub, and Microsoft Startup teams - gonna be amazing!
Nix is proven, powerful, and versatile, but not everyone has the time or bandwidth to commit to learning it. #Flox helps you bring #Nix's strengths to your teams where they work—on their terms, in their workflows. Flox leverages and builds on the power of Nix to make environment management easier and more accessible. It gives you pure Nix underneath, while exposing simple, declarative methods for defining portable, reproducible dev environments. Dev environments that—like Nix flakes—can run anywhere, from your local teams, to CI, to prod, essentially eliminating problems with cross-platform dependencies. You can manage your Flox environments centrally, using FloxHub, ensuring your teams are always on the latest, locked version of an environment. And Flox environments, like Nix shells or flakes, are declarative and intuitive: with Flox, your entire environment is defined and expressed in TOML in a manifest. In addition, Flox Catalog uses Nixpkgs as its upstream, with access to 120,000 software packages and millions of package/version combinations. And Flox CLI exposes a Git-like UX, with intuitive commands like `flox install`, `flox activate`, `flox push`, and `flox pull` making it easy for teams to create + share environments. Learn more about Flox's support for flakes and other Nix features, and about how Flox helps you bring the power of Nix to Work! https://lnkd.in/eEDqFRtQ
"Easier to use and providing less friction than Dev Containers, Flox is a great tool to easily setup your development environment." 💜🚀 https://lnkd.in/epqAW6uT
