Nixpkgs ModernCV

Repository which builds moderncv documents using nixpkgs.

This repository can be used as a template to create a (private) repository which can automatically generate PDFs from the LaTeX document in tagged releases.

Example of PDF generated from template.tex.

Setup

Follow the instructions for installing Nix

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

or

curl -o install-nix-2.3.8 https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.3.8/install
curl -o install-nix-2.3.8.asc https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.3.8/install.asc
gpg2 --recv-keys B541D55301270E0BCF15CA5D8170B4726D7198DE
gpg2 --verify ./install-nix-2.3.8.asc
# then: $ sh ./install-nix-2.3.8

Building PDF

With Nix installed, building e.g. resume.tex in the current directory can be done with:

./nix-build-with-document.sh resume

with the resulting PDF ending up in ./result/resume.pdf.

Alternatively, you can enter a shell that can build the LaTeX documents by running:

nix-shell

then:

[nix-shell:~/nixpkgs-moderncv]$ xelatex resume.tex

to generate resume.pdf in the current directory.

GitHub Action

The GitHub Action workflow defined in .github/workflows will build and upload the generated PDF for tags which start with v. e.g. v1.0.
