Nix Dotfiles

My declarative dotfiles configuration using nix and home-manager to manage my systems.

This configuration should work in all distribution in theory, but because nixpkgs has some issue with opengl, some features may not work. Namely alacritty and picom won't be able to launch if you are not using NixOS.

Installation

Home manager

Make sure flakes are enabled on your system.

nix develop
home-manager switch --flake .#<profile>

where <profile> is your desired profile.

NixOS

Simply run the command with flakes enabled to get my full NixOS configuration

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>

Hosts

Diffrent hosts are available.

Namira

My old Ideapad Y580 from 2012. A thick boy but still fully functionning. NixOS gave it a breath of fresh air.

Azura

My main tower for development, work and games.

Sheogorath

Server for hosting a couple services for the family and myself.

Jyggalag

The free tier oracle A1 vm. For doing random projects and monitors Sheogorath.

Profiles

Different profiles are available in the profiles directory. Namely minimal for TUI headless server, dev for headless development, graphical for GUI and desktop for GUI and DE. Each profile is a superset of the other.

Usage as module

You can use this flake as a module to your home-manager configuration or your NixOS configuration.

NixOS module

• To use as a nixos module

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
    nix-dotfiles.url = "github:xgroleau/nix-dotfiles";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, nix-dotfiles, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      example = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          nix-dotfiles.nixosModules
          # Enable some modules
          {
            modules.kdeconnect.enable = true;
          }
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

Home-Manager module

To use for your home-manager configuration.

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
    nix-dotfiles.url = "github:xgroleau/nix-dotfiles";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, nix-dotfiles, ... }: {
    homeConfigurations = {
      example = nix-dotfiles.utils.homeConfigurationFromProfile {
        home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
          pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${flake-utils.lib.system.x86_64-linux};
          modules = [ 
            nix-dotfiles.homeManagerModules
            # Enable some modules
            {
              # Minimum HM requirements
              home = {
                username = "xgroleau";
                homeDirectory = "/home/xgroleau";
                stateVersion = "23.11";
              };
              modules.shell.zsh.enable = true;
            }
          ];
      };
    };
  };
}

Checks

To check formatting with nixfmt and analyze with statix you can run

nix flake check

Or to apply the changes directly, you can run.

nix run .#fmt
