FlakM / nix_dots

Nix configuration for {dell laptop, darwin m1 mac pro, ...}

My dotfiles using nix flakes

Higlights:

• hyprland for eye candy
• direnv integration for per project goodness
• custom neovim configuration for rust/nix development
• multiple hosts from same flake (x86 and arm m1 mac)
• zfs on root

How to use

On local machine

1. Clone repo into local dir git clone [e-mail]:FlakM/nix_dots.git
2. Develop ie on amd-pc host
3. Switch nixos sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/programming/flakm/nix_dots#amd-pc
4. Switch home manager home-manager --flake ~/programming/flakm/nix_dots#flakm@amd-pc switch

On remote machine ie odroid

1. Build locally and send paths over ssh and switch nixos-rebuild switch --target-host flakm@192.168.0.102 --use-remote-sudo --flake ~/programming/flakm/nix_dots#odroid
2. Build locally home manager: home-manager --flake ~/programming/flakm/nix_dots#flakm@odroid build
3. Ship over ssh: nix copy --to ssh://flakm@192.168.0.102 ./result
4. Apply changes: home-manager --flake github:flakm/nix_dots#flakm@odroid switch

Add custom project with dev-shell and direnv integration

Example project

Add flake.nix to current directory:

{
  description = "A simple devshell with cowsay";

  # Flake inputs
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

  # Outputs of our flake
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils }:
    flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:
      let
        pkgs = import nixpkgs {
          inherit system;
        };
      in {
        devShell = pkgs.mkShell {
          buildInputs = [
            pkgs.cowsay
          ];

          shellHook = ''
            echo "Welcome to the devshell!"
            cowsay "Moo! I'm here to help you with your coding tasks!"
          '';
        };
      });
}

Activate direnv:

echo "use flake" >> .envrc && direnv allow

If you dont want to commit the flake files you might:

git add --intent-to-add flake.* -f
git update-index --assume-unchanged flake.*

Example rust project

Just crane it!

# Start with a comprehensive suite of tests
nix flake init -t github:ipetkov/crane#quick-start
