This flake builds my darwin system:
system packages (oeiuwq), user packages (vic), development environments for different langs (pkgSets), and some configurations (eg, doom-emacs files).
Built with the following libraries (and lots of wonderful nix packages and libs):
- mk-darwin-system Extracted from vix.
Activate system with env NIX_CONF_DIR="$PWD" nix run the first time, and if you are vic, use vix-activate fish function from anywhere once activated.
nix search --inputs-from . nixpkgs keybase or use the vix-nixpkg-search fish function (see bellow).
vix/
default.nix - Setups the environment for loading modules using mkDarwinSystem.
lib - Source for vix-lib. Functions used by modules.
modules/
pkg-overrides.nix - Custom packages and some overloading.
pkg-sets.nix - Bags of packages, mainly used for different development environments.
oeiuwq - System level module. Configures system wide options and packages.
vic - Vic's home environment.
Particularly for my vic user, upon activation this flake creates the following symlinks:
$HOME/.nix-out/nixpkgs - A reference to the nixpkgs source used to build the system.
Useful for grepping and finding nix libs/packages on it.
$HOME/.nix-out/nix-darwin - Idem, useful for grepping for options and other stuff.
$HOME/.nix-out/home-manager - Idem, useful for grepping for options and other stuff.
$HOME/.nix-out/openjdk - A link to the nix store jvm. useful for telling IDEs about what JVM to use.
$HOME/.nix-out/vix - A refrence to the vix source snapshot used to build the system.
Useful for pointing shell.nix files to it, and let lorri re-use packages from system.
$HOME/.nix-out/dots - A link to vic's secret configuration stuff such as private keys and passwords.
$HOME/.nix-out/direnv - A collection of shell scripts intended to be sourced by direnv in order to
provide environments for different languages (see pkg-sets.nix)
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/XXX - Links vic's selected JVM system wide for MacOS.
$HOME/Applications/Home Manager Applications/XXX.app - A link to some apps installed using derivations.
Enabled fzf integration for fast searching History (CTRL+R) and files (CTRL+T)
Enabled direnv integration for switching development environments upon entering dirs.
Fish history is linked from private keybase repository where it is backed up.
Appart from some command aliases, the following fish functions are handy:
vix-activate - Activate a new system generation, can be called from anywhere.
vix-nixpkg-search - Same as:
nix search --inputs-from $HOME/.nix-out/vix nixpkgs $argv
rg-vix-inputs PATTERM - Search using rg on vix flake inputs recursively.
This one is handy for grepping for nix code, options, packages, libs.
rg-vix PATTERN - Search using rg on current system vix
rg-nixpkgs PATTERN - Search using rg on current system nixpkgs
rg-home-manager PATTERN - Search using rg on current system home-manager
rg-nix-darwin PATTERN - Search using rg on current system nix-darwin
nixos-opt OPTION - Search on nixos.org for OPTION
nixos-pkg PACKAGE - Search on nixos.org for PACKAGE
repology-nixpkgs PACKAGE - Search for PACKAGE using repology.org
