Dots

This repo is a Nix flake that manages most of my setup on macOS and fully manages machines I have that run NixOS as their operating system.

Flake structure

The Nix bits are driven by flake.nix which pulls in things under modules/. Initial support is for both x86 macOS and NixOS. The flake is structured like so:

• description: a human readable description of this flake
• inputs: all the places things are pulled from
• outputs:
  • all the outputs from the inputs
  • a let ... in block that contains:
    • darwinHostConfig which takes 3 params and pulls in all the things needed to use Nix on a macOS host
    • nixosHostConfig which takes 3 params and pulls in all the things needed to configure a NixOS host
  • the body of outputs that contains:
    • darwinConfigurations contains an entry for each macOS host set to the results of a call to darwinHostConfig with values for each of the required parameters
    • nixosConfigurations contains an entry for each nixOS host set to the results of a call to nixosHostConfig with values for each of the required parameters

The parameters on darwinHostConfig & nixosHostConfig are:

• system: the system definition to use for nixpkgs
• hostname: the hostname of the machine being configured
• username: the username being configured on the host (all code currently assumes there is a single human user managed by Nix)

Repo structure

The Nix stuff is structured like so, at least for now:

Historical bits

This repo historically contained my dot files. Historically symlinked files are still in link/. Most all the other old stuff is now tucked away under legacy/ to get it out of the way until I decide what is and isn't needed.
