This is what I tried so far after reading some tutorials:

derivation.nix

{
  lib,
  buildNpmPackage,
  fetchFromGitHub,
}:

buildNpmPackage rec {
  pname = "epg";
  version = "2023.12.1";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "iptv-org";
    repo = pname;
    rev = "${version}";
    hash = "sha256-4YS7ZscNPPMK0V2U1uDgBKfQa0qSpa3LG0yl1zYkjDA=";
  };

  npmDepsHash = "sha256-D3poXVVq7VfOF9GhDyC9k5MOhsBSVffCokA0HSC5WCU=";

  # The prepack script runs the build script, which we'd rather do in the build phase.
  npmPackFlags = [ "--ignore-scripts" ];

  NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider";

  meta = with lib; {
    description = "Utilities for downloading the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) for thousands of TV channels from hundreds of sources.";
    homepage = "https://github.com/iptv-org/epg";
    license = licenses.unlicense;
    maintainers = with maintainers; [ janurskremer ];
  };
}

default.nix

{
  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
}:
pkgs.callPackage ./derivation.nix { }

But this fails with a huge npm error.

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /build/source
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c npm run api:load
...

I also tried installing with npm which worked.
