Nix config

Caution

I no longer use this repo to configure my systems. I may blog about it some day but TL;DR I don't need it as much on macOS and the constant rebuilding of my dotfiles was annoying me.

My configuration is now at https://github.com/simonrw/dotfiles

I manage my systems with nix:

• NixOS
• nix-darwin
• home-manager

I do not expect anyone else to use this system, but there may be useful information in the configs.

Layout

• nixos system configurations under system/nixos
  • my main system "astoria" is the configuration of my main development PC (intel CPU, nVidia GPU)
• nix-darwin configurations under system/darwin
• home-manager configuration under home with "top level" configuration at home/home.nix with imports to other sub-modules. I am trying to migrate to a more modular configuration as part of learning nix, but I'm not 100% there yet

Usage

These instructions are for my benefit only

Updating the system

$ ./bin/switch.sh

$ ./bin/build.sh

Building a VM of the system on NixOS

$ ./bin/vm-build.sh

Playing around with the config in a REPL

./bin/nixos-config.sh

Updating my home-manager config only

./bin/home-switch.sh

Building my home-manager config only
