#+title: System-level Nix Modules #+author: Emmet Separate Nix files can be imported as modules using an import block: #+BEGIN_SRC nix imports = [ import1.nix import2.nix ... ]; #+END_SRC My system-level Nix modules are organized into this directory: - [[./hardware-configuration.nix][hardware-configuration]] - Default hardware config generated for my system - [[./bin][bin]] - My own scripts - [[./bin/phoenix.nix][phoenix]] - My nix command wrapper - [[./app][app]] - Necessary system-level configuration to get various apps working - [[./hardware][hardware]] - Hardware configurations I may need to use - [[./security][security]] - System-level security stuff - [[./style][style]] - Stylix setup (system-wide base16 theme generation) - [[./wm][wm]] - Necessary system-level configuration to get various window managers, wayland compositors, and/or desktop environments working ** Variables imported from flake.nix Variables can be imported from [[../flake.nix][flake.nix]] by setting the =specialArgs= block inside the flake (see [[../flake.nix][my flake]] for more details). This allows variables to merely be managed in one place ([[../flake.nix][flake.nix]]) rather than having to manage them in multiple locations. I use this to pass a few attribute sets: - =userSettings= - Settings for the normal user (see [[../flake.nix][flake.nix]] for more details) - =systemSettings= - Settings for the system (see [[../flake.nix][flake.nix]] for more details) - =inputs= - Flake inputs (see [[../flake.nix][flake.nix]] for more details) - =pkgs-stable= - Allows me to include stable versions of packages along with (my default) unstable versions of packages
