Thanks for your packaging efforts!

MEDIAGOBLIN_CONFIG is only used by the Celery task queuing process, not by the MediaGoblin web application. Your options here are:

a. Specify your config file in paste.ini and run the web application with paster serve paste.ini as per our traditional deployment approach (see https://docs.mediagoblin.org/en/master/siteadmin/deploying.html#run-mediagoblin-as-a-system-service). You'll still need MEDIAGOBLIN_CONFIG for running celery worker. Sorry for the inconsistency here.

b. Use the new gmg -cf CONF_FILE serve and gmg -cf CONF_FILE celery commands. These should be good to go, but we haven't switched our documentation over to use them yet, so haven't been as thoroughly tested.

For what it's worth, it may be useful to check out my work-in-progress Guix package. The inputs section may be relevant to your work. I'm not using the project's make, but rather installing as a Python package: https://git.sr.ht/~mediagoblin/mediagoblin/tree/master/item/.guix/modules/mediagoblin-package.scm

Hi ~sandro, did I address your needs here regarding packaging MediaGoblin for NixOS? I'll mark this as resolved for now, but I'd love to hear if that worked for you.

I just ended up copying the config file to /var/lib/mediagoblin on each systemd service start. You can follow the packaging progress at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/350578
