flake#

The configuration files for all of my personal Nix based systems.

Usage#

To setup a system with one of the hosts on the system use nixos-rebuild.

$ nixos-rebuild boot --flake $PWD#hostname

If you are on a darwin system however, you need to use darwin-rebuild.

$ darwin-rebuild switch --flake $PWD#hostname

Adding hosts and users#

To add a new host you will want to create a config in hosts and add it.

mkSystem "hostname" {
  user = "username";
  system = "x86_64-linux";
  profile = "nixos";
}

For users, simply add a configuration to the users directory, it uses hjem.

• darwin.nix - the user configuration specifically for darwin systems.
• nixos.nix - the user configuration specifically for nixos systems.

You can look at existing users and hosts to see how they are setup.

Structure#

My flake is structured in a way that is focused on being easy to maintain.
