Hi!

I deploy most services on NixOS with systemd and built the needed config for it already. Thought I could share it back into the project as well if that's something you're open to. Let me know!

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@rogierknoester, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 33 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used the included review currently available.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Nix packaging, a NixOS module for the crosspoint-sync service, flake outputs, and NixOS deployment instructions.

Changes

NixOS deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nix package definition
nix/package.nix
The package builds the npm application, installs runtime assets, and creates the crosspoint-sync executable.
NixOS service configuration
nix/module.nix
The module adds service options, a hardened systemd service, environment variable configuration, privileged-port support, firewall configuration, and conditional service user and group creation.
Flake exports and deployment instructions
flake.nix, README.md
The flake exports the package and NixOS module. The README documents flake integration and service configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 84858

The Nix integration currently allows unsafe database paths and invalid ports, and its service hardening prevents configured privileged ports from working. These issues can cause service startup or availability failures, so merge should wait for the module configuration to be corrected.

- Around line 61-72: Update the systemd service configuration around
serviceConfig to run crosspoint-sync under a non-root identity by enabling
DynamicUser or configuring a dedicated User. Ensure cfg.dataDir, including
custom paths, is provisioned with ownership and permissions usable by that
identity; retain the existing ReadWritePaths restriction.
- Line 79: Update the tokenEncryptionKeyFile handling in the service
configuration so it does not reference the undefined cfgtokenEncryptionKeyFile
or pass the file path as TOKEN_ENC_KEY. Load the secret contents at service
startup using LoadCredential with a wrapper, or require an EnvironmentFile that
defines TOKEN_ENC_KEY, without reading the secret during Nix evaluation.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 41-57: Update the README flake example to use a complete valid
flake structure: declare nixpkgs and crosspoint-sync under inputs, define an
outputs function, and bind both inputs before referencing
nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem and crosspoint-sync.nixosModules.crosspoint-sync.
Preserve the shown myServer configuration and module usage.

76-76: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Keep the existing DATABASE_PATH expression.

builtins.toString converts the appended path to its local absolute path; it does not copy it to /nix/store. The default value therefore remains /var/lib/crosspoint-sync/crosspoint.db, which matches ReadWritePaths.

99-99: 🩺 Stability & Availability

No change is needed for DATABASE_PATH. lib.path.append returns a path, and builtins.toString converts it to the local runtime string without copying it to the Nix store or requiring the path to exist.
