User-level Nix Modules

Separate Nix files can be imported as modules using an import block:

imports = [ import1.nix
            import2.nix
            ...
          ];

My user-level Nix modules are organized into this directory:

• app - Apps or collections of apps bundled with my configs

  • browser - Used to set default browser
  • dmenu-scripts
  • doom-emacs
  • flatpak - Installs flatpak as a utility (flatpaks must be installed manually)
  • games - Gaming setup
  • git
  • keepass
  • ranger
  • terminal - Configuration for terminal emulators
  • virtualization - Virtualization and compatability layers

• bin - My own scripts

  • phoenix - My nix command wrapper

• lang - Various bundled programming languages

  • I will probably get rid of this in favor of a shell.nix for every project, once I learn how that works

• pkgs - "Package builds" for packages not in the Nix repositories

  • pokemon-colorscripts
  • rogauracore - not working yet
  • ytsub

• shell - My default bash and zsh configs

  • sh - bash and zsh configs
  • cli-collection - Curated useful CLI utilities
• style - Stylix setup (system-wide base16 theme generation)

• wm - Window manager, compositor, and/or wayland compositor setups

  • xmonad
  • picom

Variables imported from flake.nix

Variables can be imported from flake.nix by setting the extraSpecialArgs block inside the flake (see my flake for more details). This allows variables to merely be managed in one place (flake.nix) rather than having to manage them in multiple locations.

I currently import the following variables to the system config:

• myName - Username
• myHomeDir - Absolute path to home directory derived from myName
• myEmail - Email
• myDotfilesDir - Path to my dotfiles directory on the system
• myTheme - base16 theme stored in ../themes to be used
• myThemePolarity - whether theme is light or dark
• myBackgroundUrl - Direct link to background wallpaper (used for login screen)
• myBackgroundSha256 - Checksum for background image used when downloading
