nix-config#

My nix flake for system configuration, intended to be usable on both NixOS and non-NixOS machines

Philosophy#

I want to write modules once and use/configure them across systems without having to think about whether something is a feature of nixos or of home-manager. This led me to create "features" which are files that can contain nixos, home-manager, or both configurations mixed together. They also can define options that can affect the behavior across both domains. Features are enabled and configured on hosts via the custom.features.<feature_name>.* options. Manifests of several related features can be enabled via custom.manifests.<manifest_name>.enable.

This is probably overkill given the relatively small number of machines I have, but oh well.

Organization#

The flake is organized into several directories.

hosts/
├── <host_name>/
│   ├── default.nix                 # features, manifests, and other host-specific stuff
│   ├── disks.nix                   # disk configuration using disko
│   └── hardware-configuration.nix  # auto-generated hardware config
│
└── standalone/default.nix          # standalone home-manager config

lib/                                # helpers available at lib.custom.*

modules/
├── features/                       # atomic features available at custom.features.*
│   ├── apps/                       # one app per file (probably hyperbolic)
│   ├── desktop/                    # desktop environment features
│   ├── hardware/                   # anything related to specific hardware on a machine
│   ├── meta/                       # configuring nix/nixos
│   ├── networking/                 # self explanatory
│   ├── selfhosted/                 # selfhosted apps via lib.custom.mkSelfHostedFeature
│   └── storage/                    # self explanatory
│
└── manifests/                      # groups of related features to enable together
