edrex's nix env configs

This repo describes my personal infrastructure.

my nix environment configs: nixos, home-manager, and later things like nix-on-droid, darwin, etc.

Principles

  • Maximize reusability
    • Granular exports
  • Evolve this repo incrementally, rather than trying to start over when I decide to try a different approach. I've gotten in a stuck "in-between" state too many times this way.

Current wishlist

  • The nix profile CLI has a terrible UX. Wrap it.

Fresh install from Live USB:

  • nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
  • Check out this repo to /mnt/etc/nixos
  • nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/nixos#chip

Ideas

It would be nice if nixConfig was inherited from inputs. Idea: generate flake.nix, walking input tree?

Useful commands

To use the system nixpkgs version:

nix flake lock --override-input nixpkgs nixpkgs

  • TODO: put commands in flake.

Terms

  • repository-oriented architecture

Tools

  • devenv
