It's almost time for NixOS release 26.05, which means I've been really busy trying to get the NixOS Drupal service ready for the big day! I've been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features that will make it easier to package and run custom Drupal packages on NixOS.

I realized recently that I've been working on this project for nearly a year now, so it might be a good time to blog about the things I've done since last year, and talk about what's next for Drupal on NixOS.

Drupal As A Service: A Year In Open Source | Andrew Benbow

It's been about a year since I started building and maintaining the Drupal service integration for NixOS, and the next nixpkgs stable release is comming up this May, so it seems like a good time to take stock and talk about what has been going on with this project in that time.

Also, fair game to announce it here as well as on my blog, but I am going to be speaking about this Drupal and NixOS integration at DrupalSouth in Wellington, NZ on May 14th!

The talk is titled "Reproducible Drupal Environments The Easy Way: A Hands-On Look At Using Drupal With Nix & NixOS"

https://drupalsouth.org/events/drupalsouth-wellington-2026/schedule/4236

Really looking forward to sharing this tool with people and talking about how to use it. Come say hi in Breakout Room 2 at 9:40 if you want to learn about functional declarative software environments, what they are, why they're useful, and how to use them to build your favorite PHP-powered CMS, share it with anyone, and deploy it on any Linux computer anywhere all without using Docker, virtualization, or clusters.

The minimal impelemntation only requires a single line of code and it a runs on native hardware!

Mark your calendars: https://events.humanitix.com/drupalsouth-2026-wellington-nz

See you there!
