Grok Bot for Nix

Grok Bot on Linux, as a Nix flake. Proprietary; not affiliated with xAI or Cursor.

nix run github:d-513/grok-bot-nix

nix run is a one-shot. Login redirects (sand:// / grokbot://) need a real install so the desktop file is on XDG_DATA_DIRS.

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    grok-bot-nix = {
      url = "github:d-513/grok-bot-nix";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };
}

{ inputs, pkgs, ... }:
{
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.grok-bot-nix.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
  ];
}

Same flake input, then:

{ inputs, pkgs, ... }:
{
  home.packages = [
    inputs.grok-bot-nix.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
  ];
}

{
  nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.grok-bot-nix.overlays.default ];
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate =
    pkg: builtins.elem (pkgs.lib.getName pkg) [ "grok-bot" ];
  environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.grok-bot ];
}

The overlay respects your unfree config. nix run / packages already allow unfree for this package.

nix profile install github:d-513/grok-bot-nix

environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1";

Without that, it runs under XWayland/X11.

The in-app updater does not work under Nix. This repo pins a .deb URL and hash, so an old pin still builds — you just stay on that version until the pin moves.

A GitHub Action here checks upstream every six hours and commits a new pin when a release appears. On your machine, pick it up with:

nix flake update grok-bot-nix

then rebuild. nix flake update without an attribute updates nixpkgs too.
