 This is the `hackage-server` code. This is what powers <http://hackage.haskell.org>, and many other private hackage instances. The `master` branch is suitable for general usage. Specific policy and documentation for the central hackage instance exists in the `central-server` branch.
 
 ## Installing dependencies
 
 `hackage-server` depends on `libgd` and `zlib`. You'll also need `libbrotli-dev` for enabling tests.
 
-### [`nix-shell`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-shell.html)
+### [`nix develop`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-develop.html)
 
-If you have the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) installed, the easiest way to run `hackage-server` is by using the `nix-shell`. It should be unnecessary to install any dependencies manually. In this repository:
+If you have the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) installed, the easiest way to run `hackage-server` is by using `nix develop`. It should be unnecessary to install any dependencies manually. In this repository:
 
-    nix-shell --pure
+    nix develop
 
-    [nix-shell]$ cabal v2-run -- hackage-server init
+    (in develop shell)
+    $ cabal v2-run -- hackage-server init

+`flake.nix` is provided; it uses [`srid/haskell-flake`](https://github.com/srid/haskell-flake).
+
+If you have [direnv](https://direnv.net/), `direnv allow` will load this `nix develop` shell automatically.
+
+`nix build` will build a `hackage-server` executable in `result/`. The Hackage dependencies are provided by the inputs specified in `flake.nix`. Because some of these inputs are unpublished commits on GitHub, this build should not be considered authoritative.
+
 ### Manually
 
 You can also install dependencies manually via your operating system's package
