NixOS configs

A (not so) Good Flake

Convention Specification

The pattern I follow easily permits adding more hosts or users, pending a little elbow grease on the flake. Host definitions live under hosts/ and user configurations live under home/. Home Manager handles dotfiles and host's user configurations. The file pattern allows to create additional users under home/<host>.

System Configuration

The core flake is written to bootstrap my specific system(s):

• wayward: Laptop with Wayland + Hyprland
• nord: VPS

Example

wayward is my Framework laptop running hyprland. Its configuration is found in the following directories:

Host Path: hosts/<host>/ Home-Manager Path: home/crutonjohn/<host>/ Home-Manager Common: home/crutonjohn/common/

Current look for Wayland on my laptop:

Example NixOS bootrapping

## Install Wayland + Hyprland
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:crutonjohn/nixos#wayward

Example home-manager bootstrapping

## Install Wayland + Hyprland
home-manager switch --flake github:crutonjohn/nixos#bjohn@work

Actions

My configs follow the stable channel. A GitHub action updates flake.lock nightly.
