NixOS configs

A (not so) Good Flake

Convention Specification

The pattern I follow easily permits adding more hosts or users, pending a little elbow grease on the flake. Host definitions live under hosts/ and user configurations live under home/. Home Manager handles dotfiles and host's user configurations. The file pattern allows to create additional users under home/<host>.

System Configuration

The core flake is written to bootstrap my specific laptop, either:

• endurance: X11 + XFCE + i3
• wayward: Wayland + Hyprland

Example

endurance is my Framework laptop running i3. It's directories contain the following configuration: a host definition, and home-manager configuration. Its configuration is found in the following directories:

Host Path: hosts/<host>/ Home-Manager Path: home/crutonjohn/<host>/ Home-Manager Common: home/crutonjohn/common/

Current look for X11:

Current look for Wayland

Example bootrapping

## Install X11 + XFCE + i3
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:crutonjohn/nixos#endurance

## Install Wayland + Hyprland
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:crutonjohn/nixos#wayward

Actions

My configs follow the unstable channel. A GitHub action updates flake.lock nightly.
