Dotfiles

https://builtwithnix.org/badge.svg

Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it’s bad. - Cory House

This repository houses the codebase for my dotfiles. Nix all the things!

Features

  • Nix/NixOS. Keep it declarative and reproducible.
  • Agenix. Keep secrets well-kept.
  • Home-manager. A separate, fully configurable home configuration.
  • Org-babel. Literate configuration for any application, written in Org-mode and exported with Org-babel.
  • Doom Emacs. (To the dark side!)
  • WSL NixOS. For an optimal development environment on Windows.
  • Devshell + Direnv. Automatically enter a fully-fledged, pure development environment.
  • … and more!

In detail…

This repository is a huge digga flake that provides outputs for all of my hosts, users, etc.

Secret management

In order to manage secrets, I use ryantm’s agenix. It conveniently encrypts everything - even in the Nix store - until my user signs in and has been recognized. I have previously used git-crypt, but unfortunately, all secrets are decrypted in the nix store, which is dangerous - especially when share stores to, say, Cachix. This supported my migration to agenix.

Org tangling

Any non-Nix configuration is actually written in Org-mode. This adds the convenience of writing any configuration literately, and being able to export them during compiletime. More can be found on this topic here.
