Coming to devenv 1.8: listing tasks

Today we're launching SecretSpec.dev - a better way to manage secrets across your entire stack 🧵

🚀 devenv 1.8 is here! What's new: • Progress TUI with async core for parallel operations • SecretSpec integration for declarative secrets • Task listing & improved task runner • CLI package options support• 67% smaller containers (1.3GB → 414MB!) 🧵👇

The most requested feature for secretspec.dev is mixing different secret providers. I'm thinking something like a mapping between providers and possible providers for a secret. Share your use cases here: github.com/cachix/secrets…

Here's a proposal for running tasks before/after a process runs 😍😍😍

If you're using monorepo and would like to share common devenv configuration across subprojects, would this work for you? monorepos.devenv.pages.dev/guides/monorep…

It's pretty wild to see Cachix serve 500TB in last 30 days.

👋

We are happy to inform you that your proposal “What if GitHub Actions was local-first and built using Nix?” to NixCon 2025 has been accepted.

In your binary cache settings, you can now configure what cache takes precedence.

TUI for devenv is shaping up to be really neat :)

We're working with Cloudflare on 500 responses that are impacting Cachix users: cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/22c4… See status.cachix.org for updates.

NixCon has 439 people coming this year and I still have a free ticket to give out :)

devenv 1.9 is out and adds profiles A way to organize and selectively activate parts of your development environment. Create team modules with shared defaults, then use profiles to activate specific components. 🧵

devenv 1.10 is out with monorepo Nix support. devenv.yaml imports, the most requested feature is also in there 😉 devenv.sh/blog/2025/10/0…

after you try Cachix 's #devenv you don't want to go back to using Docker Compose again.
