My NixOS configurations

Here's my NixOS/home-manager config files. Requires Nix experimental command and flakes.

Structure

  • flake.nix: Entrypoint for both hosts (nixos-rebuild --flake) and home configurations (home-manager --flake). Also exposes a devshell for boostrapping (nix develop or nix-shell).
  • hosts: System-wide configuration for my machines.
    • atlas: Desktop PC - 32GB RAM, R5 3600x, RX 5700XT | Runs sway. Development, production, and gaming.
    • merope: Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB RAM | Headless. Server usage.
  • users: Home-manager configurations for my user(s)
    • misterio: That's me!
  • modules: A few modules i have for personal use (most should be upstreamed TBH)
  • overlays: A few custom packages (TODO make actual packages) and overwritten ones.

About the installation

This is hardware specific and can easily be changed by switching out hardware-configuration.nxi files.

I use a erase my darlings-like setup. My desktop pc uses an encrypted btrfs partition, which has subvolumes for nix store, games, home (snapshotted), srv (snapshotted), and var. The pi is similar, but with a single ext4 partition for all that. The root filesystem is a tmpfs, on which the partitions are mounted to achieve opt-in state.

I use home-manager as a standalone module, and, as such, i have to "manually" activate it. For this reason, i have a hook on loginShell that activates it, if not already active.

How to bootstrap

All you need is bash, nix, and git. Just nix-shell (or nix develop, if already on flakes), and you should be good to go.

nixos-rebuild --flake . To build system configuration

home-manager --flake . To build user configuration
