Package Penpot 2.18.3 for Nix with NixOS module; afk devShell
Vendored from debling/nix-penpot (MIT). Fixes on top: - pnpm fetchers: drop --config.fetch-* flags (UND_ERR_INVALID_ARG on pnpm 11.27) and pin real store hashes (frontend x3, exporter, mcp) - deps-lock.json: add transitive funcool/beicon2 v2.0 so fake-git resolves potok2's pin during the shadow-cljs classpath build - expose frontend pnpm stores via passthru for rehashing - x86_64-linux only; devShell ships afk, jj, git

# penpot-nix
|
||||
|
||||
Nix packages and a NixOS module for self-hosting [Penpot](https://penpot.app)
|
||||
(pinned to release **2.18.3**). Every component is built from upstream
|
||||
source: the Clojure API backend, the static frontend (served by nginx), the
|
||||
headless-Chromium exporter, the MCP server and the Rust/WASM renderer.
|
||||
One module wires the stack together with PostgreSQL and Valkey, either
|
||||
provisioned locally or pointed at infrastructure you already run.
|
||||
|
||||
Derived from [debling/nix-penpot](https://github.com/debling/nix-penpot)
|
||||
(MIT, see [LICENSE](LICENSE)). `x86_64-linux` only.
|
||||
|
||||
## Packages
|
||||
|
||||
| Attribute | Output |
|
||||
|-----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `penpot-backend` | `bin/penpot-backend` (JVM wrapper), `bin/penpot-manage` |
|
||||
| `penpot-frontend` | `dist/` static bundle (+ `plugins/`, `plugins/mcp/`), `config.js` |
|
||||
| `penpot-exporter` | `bin/penpot-exporter` (node + nixpkgs chromium) |
|
||||
| `penpot-mcp` | `bin/penpot-mcp` |
|
||||
| `penpot-render-wasm` | `render-wasm.{js,wasm}`, `shared.js`, `worker/render.js` (frontend) |
|
||||
| `penpot-render-wasm-export` | export flavor of the renderer (unused on 2.18.x) |
|
||||
|
||||
The same packages are exposed as an overlay (`overlays.default`:
|
||||
`pkgs.penpot-backend`, `pkgs.penpot-frontend`, `pkgs.penpot-exporter`,
|
||||
`pkgs.penpot-mcp`). The module's package defaults resolve through the
|
||||
overlay, so it is required.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploying on NixOS
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# flake.nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
|
||||
penpot-nix.url = "git+https://<this repo>";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, penpot-nix }: {
|
||||
nixosConfigurations.myhost = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
||||
system = "x86_64-linux";
|
||||
modules = [
|
||||
./configuration.nix
|
||||
{ nixpkgs.overlays = [ penpot-nix.overlays.default ]; }
|
||||
penpot-nix.nixosModules.default
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# configuration.nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
services.penpot = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
publicUri = "https://penpot.example.com";
|
||||
secretKeyFile = "/run/secrets/penpot-secret-key";
|
||||
};
|
||||
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That is a complete deployment: PostgreSQL and Valkey are provisioned
|
||||
locally, the nginx vhost is generated, exporter and MCP run behind it.
|
||||
Secrets are files loaded through systemd credentials; generate the master
|
||||
key once (`openssl rand -base64 64 | tr -d '\n'`) and manage it with
|
||||
agenix/sops-nix.
|
||||
|
||||
Commonly tuned options (all documented inline in
|
||||
[`modules/penpot.nix`](modules/penpot.nix)):
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Default | What it does |
|
||||
|----------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `publicUri` | – (required) | Public URL of the instance |
|
||||
| `secretKeyFile` | – (required) | Master secret key file |
|
||||
| `flags` | `[ "enable-prepl-server" ]` | Upstream feature flags |
|
||||
| `admins` | `[ ]` | Emails granted admin on login |
|
||||
| `database.createLocally` | `true` | Local PostgreSQL, or set `database.uri` for an external one |
|
||||
| `redis.createLocally` | `true` | Local Valkey, or set `redis.uri` |
|
||||
| `storage.backend` | `"fs"` | `"fs"` or `"s3"` (+ endpoint/bucket/keys) |
|
||||
| `smtp.*` / `mailpit.enable` | off | Outgoing email, or a local throwaway SMTP sink |
|
||||
| `exporter.enable` / `mcp.enable` | `true` | Toggle the auxiliary services |
|
||||
| `nginx.forceHttps` | `false` | Force HTTPS (configure TLS yourself) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Users and admins
|
||||
|
||||
No default credentials. Register through the UI, or on the backend host:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
penpot-manage create-profile -n "Jane Doe" -e jane@example.org -p 'secret'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Admin rights come from `services.penpot.admins = [ "jane@example.org" ];`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Trying it in a VM
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nix build .#nixosConfigurations.penpot-vm.config.system.build.vm
|
||||
./result/bin/run-penpot-vm-vm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Host port 8080 → nginx, 8025 → mailpit UI. `curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/readyz`
|
||||
once the backend is up (~1–2 min). Needs ~3 GB RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
direnv allow # or: nix develop — devShell ships the afk harness, jj, git
|
||||
nix flake check --no-build
|
||||
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.penpot-vm-test # end-to-end VM test
|
||||
nix fmt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Development runs under [afk](https://github.com/DavHau/afk) (`afk` is on
|
||||
PATH in the devShell).
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Penpot
|
||||
|
||||
1. Bump `penpot.url` **and** `penpotVersion` in `flake.nix` (upstream's
|
||||
`package.json` version is stale, so it is pinned by hand).
|
||||
2. Regenerate `deps-lock.json` with clj-nix from a writable copy of the
|
||||
penpot source with the `RELEASE` pins from `packages/frontend.nix`
|
||||
(`pinDepsEdn`) applied:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nix run github:jlesquembre/clj-nix/<pinned-rev>#deps-lock -- \
|
||||
--deps-include backend/deps.edn --deps-include common/deps.edn \
|
||||
--deps-include frontend/deps.edn --deps-include exporter/deps.edn \
|
||||
--alias-exclude outdated --alias-exclude jvm-repl
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Rehash the fixed-output derivations (set to `lib.fakeHash`, build, copy
|
||||
`got:`): `penpot-frontend.{frontendPnpmDeps,pluginsPnpmDeps,mcpPnpmDeps}`,
|
||||
`penpot-exporter.pnpmDeps`, `penpot-mcp.pnpmDeps`,
|
||||
`penpot-backend.builtinTemplates` (after `nix flake update penpot-files`),
|
||||
and `cargoDeps` / Rust / Skia hashes in `packages/render-wasm.nix` if
|
||||
`render-wasm/Cargo.lock`, the Rust version or the Skia URL changed.
|
||||
4. Rebase `packages/patches/*` if `frontend/src/app/plugins/library.cljs`
|
||||
moved.
