According to their own website bower https://bower.io/ is deprecated. Mediagoblin should probably convert to use plain npm/yarn/etc.

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

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 am currently packaging mediagoblin for NixOS and supplied the mediagoblin.ini config file via the MEDIAGOBLIN_CONFIG env and changed DEFAULT.data_basedir to /var/lib/mediagoblin/user_dev. This was not propagated properly into all the settings with default in config_spec.ini and some paths like crypto_path still used the value from here instead of my configured one.
