Nix Integration for Hop3

Nixify the Hop3 self-hosted cloud platform

Hop3 is an open-source orchestration platform designed to simplify the deployment and management of distributed applications across cloud and edge environments. With a focus on flexibility, security, resilience, and ease of use, Hop3 empowers developers and small organisations to take full control of their IT infrastructure and data, ensuring digital sovereignty and avoiding vendor lock-in. The project will enhance the Hop3 platform by integrating Nix, a powerful package manager known for its ability to create reproducible environments, to improve build-time flexibility and ensure consistent, reliable run-time performance. As a test bed and showcase of this integration, we will package 20 diverse and impactful F/OSS applications. Additionally, we will develop new resilience and cybersecurity features to further strengthen the platform's robustness and security.
