Garnix, the Nix CI, is shutting down

Text from the email:

garnix is shutting down

Hi everyone,

We wanted to let you know that garnix is joining forces with Shopify.

We are sad to announce that, as part of this transition, the hosted garnix service will shut down on July 15th 2026. But we are open sourcing the garnix codebase, available here (https://github.com/garnix-io/garnix-ci); we hope this will help you smoothly move to using your own instance or a shared one. If you are interested in operating a public community instance, please get in touch — we’d be happy to talk.

We will also be deleting all user data on July 15th. This includes build artifacts. Be sure to download what you want to keep before then.

Thank you all for using garnix and for the feedback and support over the years. While we are excited about our next step at Shopify, we will also miss working with this community. From the very first, with generous donations in our Open Collective days and thoughtful feedback, you've been great.

Note: the GitHub link does not resolve as of posting. I suppose it will shortly.

    Congrats to the team!

    To all Garnix users: NixCI is very similar so I'd like to welcome you to try it out.

      Any plans to natively support projects using devenv instead of flakes?

        Yes definitely. Get in touch so we can make it happen. I need an example use-case to get it working.

    Sad to see that they don't seem to have made it commercially viable. My hope is that the codebase will find a second life now that it is open source.
