I started looking into it and found partkeepr/PartKeepr#1059. (Not that we shouldn't package it, but I think it's useful info.)

Long thread about the future of the project: partkeepr/PartKeepr#1239

Ok good to know! We will look into migrating to another project. Looks like we will be migrating to inventree or part-db. Why not close this issue if we are not going to package it?

Why not close this issue if we are not going to package it?

Because it works today? Because it might still be maintained? Because it shows interest from the Nix community and we can have a place to discuss?

IDK. Close if you want.

I didn't know about those, thanks!

I created a package request for inventree. #291436 But it is deployed as a bunch of docker containers, so probably pretty hard to package and set up a NixOS module for. So in the meantime my plan is to just deploy the official docker compose file as a NixOS systemd unit which starts the containers at boot.
