Structure

The repository is organized as follows:

• flake.nix: The main entry point for the Nix Flake configuration.
• hosts/: Contains configuration for specific machines (e.g., alfred).
• system_modules/: Reusable Nix modules for various system components (e.g., desktop manager, shell, window manager).
• user_modules/: Reusable Nix user modules (e.g., browsers, communication tools, development tools).
• users/: User-specific configurations
• create_module.sh: Script to create new modules.
• sync-system.sh, sync-user.sh, sync.sh: Scripts for synchronizing and deploying configurations.
• secrets.yaml: File for storing sensitive information managed by nix-sops.

MacOS (Darwin)

Initial Setup

1. Install Homebrew Package Manager. More information can be found here.

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install the Nix Package Manager on your system. More information can be found here.

   sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)~

3. Create a nix config directory

   mkdir -p ~/.config/nix

4. Allow experimental features to use flakes

   echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

5. Install Nix-Darwin:

   nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake .#<host>

6. Restart your shell.

Usage

1. Ensure you have Nix with Flakes enabled installed on your system.
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Manas73/nix-config.git

3. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd nix-config

4. Apply the configurations:

   ./sync-darwin.sh

NixOS

Usage

To use this configuration:

1. Ensure you have Nix with Flakes enabled installed on your system.

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Manas73/nix-config.git

3. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd nix-config

4. Apply the configurations using one of the following sync scripts:

   
   

   • To apply both system and home-manager configurations:

     ./sync.sh

   • To apply only the system configuration:

     ./sync-system.sh

   • To apply only the home-manager configuration:

     ./sync-user.sh

   
   

   Notes:

   • The sync scripts use sudo where necessary, so you may be prompted for your password during execution.
   • The sync.sh script combines the functionality of both sync-system.sh and sync-user.sh, allowing you to update your entire configuration in one go.
   
   

5. After running any of these scripts, your system will rebuild and apply the new configurations.

Customization

To customize this configuration for your own use:

1. Modify the hosts/ directory to match your machine(s).
2. Update user configurations in the users/ directory.
3. Adjust modules in the system_modules/ or user_modules/ directory as needed.
4. Use the create_module.sh script to create new modules as required.
5. Utilize the sync scripts (sync-system.sh, sync-user.sh, sync.sh) to deploy your changes.
