OpenCode for Nix/NixOS

OpenCode - AI coding agent built for the terminal, packaged for NixOS and Nix users.

About

This flake provides OpenCode v1.1.14 from npm platform-specific packages.

• Version: 1.1.14
• Source: npm registry (opencode-linux-x64, etc.)
• License: MIT
• Homepage: https://opencode.ai

Important Notes

⚠️ Special Packaging Requirements

This package uses a Bun-based binary that requires special handling:

• autoPatchelfHook and strip are disabled to prevent binary corruption
• Only the ELF interpreter is manually patched using patchelf
• See docs/custom-package-troubleshooting.md for details

Usage

With Flakes

Add to your flake.nix:

{
  inputs = {
    opencode.url = "github:GutMutCode/opencode-nix";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, opencode, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.your-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      modules = [
        {
          nixpkgs.overlays = [ opencode.overlays.default ];
          home-manager.users.your-user = {
            home.packages = [ pkgs.opencode ];
          };
        }
      ];
    };
  };
}

Direct Installation

nix profile install github:GutMutCode/opencode-nix

opencode --help

Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/GutMutCode/opencode-nix
cd opencode-nix
nix build
./result/bin/opencode --version

Troubleshooting

If you see Bun help instead of OpenCode help, the binary may have been corrupted by build hooks. This package is specifically configured to avoid this issue. See the inline comments in package.nix for details.

Updating
