What is this repository?

These are my dotfiles (configuration files) for my NixOS setup(s).

Here is my main setup:

Install

I wrote some reinstall notes for myself here (install.org).

Modules

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

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

This conveniently allows configurations to be (*cough cough) modular (ba dum, tssss).

I have my modules separated into two groups:

• System-level - stored in the system directory

  • System-level modules are imported into configuration.nix, which is what is sourced into my flake (flake.nix)

• User-level - stored in the user directory (managed by home-manager)

  • User-level modules are imported into home.nix, which is also sourced into my flake (flake.nix)

More detailed information on these specific modules are in the system directory and user directory respectively.

Profiles

I separate my configurations into profiles (essentially system templates), i.e:

• Personal - What I would run on a personal laptop/desktop
• Work - What I would run on a work laptop/desktop (if they let me bring my own OS :P)
• Homelab - What I would run on a server or homelab

My profile can be conveniently selected in my flake.nix by setting the profile variable.

More detailed information on these profiles is in the profiles directory.
