Build

Cryptpad being not NixOS native, an upgrade must be done in 4 steps:

1. Bump the cryptpad version in common.nix
2. Rebuild the Nix lock files for the dependencies
3. Build the package for Nix
4. Create a container from the Nix package

To bump the nix version, set the desired tag in common.nix in the cryptpadVersion entry. Set the corresponding commit in the cryptadCommit field, its goal would be to detect unwanted update of the tag.

To rebuild the lock files (they are stored in the nix.lock folder):

nix-shell --run "update_lock"

To build cryptpad:

nix-build

Create the container:

docker load < $(nix-build docker.nix)
docker push superboum/cryptpad:???
