2### Hosting a website
3
4To host a simple static website stored at `/var/www` at your domain, you can create a `website.nix`:
5
6```
7{ config, ... }:
8
9{
10 services.nginx.virtualHosts."${config.networking.domain}" = {
11 enableACME = true;
12 forceSSL = true;
13 root = "/var/www";
14 };
15}
16```
17
18And import it in `configuration.nix`.
19
20If you want to build your website with Nix it's possible to add it as a reproducible package.
21
22```
23{ config, pkgs, ... }:
24
25{
26 services.nginx.virtualHosts."${config.networking.domain}" = {
27 enableACME = true;
28 forceSSL = true;
29 root =
30 let website = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
31 name = "website";
32
33 src = pkgs.stdenv.fetchFromGitHub {
34 owner = "<user>";
35 repo = "website";
36 rev = "<hash>";
37 sha256 = "";
38 };
39
40 buildInputs = with pkgs [
41 # dependencies
42 ];
43
44 installPhase = ''
45 mkdir $out
46 cp -r * $out
47 '';
48 };
49 in website;
50 };
51}
52```
