Example Flox Environments

A collection of ready-to-use Flox environments.

Dual-layer pattern

Most environments follow a dual-layer pattern:

• <name>/ -- minimal base layer for [include] composition
• <name>-demo/ -- demo with gum UI and sample project files

Include a minimal layer in your own manifest:

[include]
environments = ["flox/<name>"]

Docker images

Each dual-layer environment is published as a Docker image to the GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/flox/floxenvs:<name>-latest
docker run -it ghcr.io/flox/floxenvs:<name>-latest

Browse all images at ghcr.io/flox/floxenvs.
