Show HN: NixOS-DGX-Spark – Nix and NixOS on the DGX Spark
58 points - today at 5:05 PM
Try DGX Spark playbooks using Nix on DGX OS, or install NixOS on your DGX Spark for the full Nix experience. The repository provides USB images and a NixOS module with settings for DGX Spark systems.
This works on the NVIDIA DGX Spark itself and also on the Asus Ascent GX10.

Slightly off topic, but Claude Code (and likely other models/harnesses) are incredibly effective at Nix. It can trivially self-verify, without side effects, which is a perfect match for an LLM.
If you've ever been put off by the difficulty of the language, it's worth checking it out again with AI assistance.

Been running this on a few Asus GX10 machines with k3s on top, it’s been great. I’m running the new deepseek.
Thank you for your work!

Huge plus to anyone interested in the space to check out what Graham built here!
If anyone is also interested on Nix/CUDA/Capital Markets/Flox, we recently did another case study in the space - https://flox.dev/blog/deploying-hardened-flox-nvidia-cuda-st...

This has been amazingly helpful for managing my DGX Spark! Thank you for all your time and effort into this project!

This is incredible. I have a Jetson lying around and will try to it out on this. I use it to play with vision models, not LLMs, and have been wanting a better way to manage the machine.

Thanks for sharing, saving this for when I get a DGX Spark
