resume.nix

Reproducible personal résumé built & deployed using Nix and jsonresume. Supports a broad number of themes.

Getting started

• TODO: Create template

Create your own resume repository and run

nix flake init -t github:Lehmanator/resume.nix

to clone the template to use this flake.

Template will come with a builder package, and a selection of theme packages that are passed to the builder. To build your résumé, first edit the data inside src/resume.nix, then select one of the packages to build.

Each theme will have one of the following packages:

• Theme Package: jsonresume-theme-THEMENAME
• HTML Builder: jsonresume-html-THEMENAME
• PDF Builder: jsonresume-pdf-THEMENAME

For example, to build a PDF document of your résumé, run:

`nix build .#jsonresume-pdf-THEMENAME`

Or to build the HTML static site, run:

`nix build .#jsonresume-html-THEMENAME`

You will then find either resume.pdf or index.html inside ./result directory.

Provided is a default package using a pre-selected theme. This makes building as simple as running: nix build with no extra arguments. To change which theme is used, edit the default package in flake.nix to point to some other config.packages.jsonresume-theme-THEMENAME package.

Included are package definitions for other utils, themes, etc. These may not all be complete or functioning for the time-being.

To list all available packages, run:

nix flake show github:Lehmanator/resume.nix

More Themes

Check NPM for other themes. Most should be fairly trivial to include, and can mostly be copy-and-pasted from other theme package files in packages/jsonresume-themes/THEMENAME

Search NPM packages for jsonresume themes
