nixConf

How do you use my Config?

Add your own Config

To use my config you can just clone it with

git clone https://github.com/Qewa2/nixConf.git

However this does NOT activate it To use it you should 1. add a new host as a module like with my main host and create new module for your host and your preferences and user just like with qewa

2. Create a module for yor hardware configuration. I usually name mine with hostname + '-hardware'

Use my packages

you can also use it by including this flake like this

{
        inputs = {
                qconf = {
                        url = "github:Qewa2/nixConf";
                        inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
                        # if you want other inputs to follow your update cycle add them like this here
                        # However my update cycle is pretty regular so you might not even need nixpkgs
                };
        };
}

then you can use my packages and my wrappers by adding them to your system packages ot your user packages

# system wide
environment.systemPackage = [
        inputs.qconf.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.mango # Example you can use whatever you find
];

# home home manager
home.packages = [
        inputs.qconf.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.mango
]

Use my modules

just include my modules to your configuration the are always named like this: nixos:

inputs.qconf.nixosModules.base # Example you can use others as well

home manager:

inputs.qconf.homeModules.base

Activating the config

to activate the Config you just have to run this command:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake <flake path>#<config name>

in my case it would be:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/git/nixConf#main

Home-manager

Homa-manager is installed as a nixos-module witch makes it a Part of the nixos configuration. This means you don't have to run

home-manager switch

or

nix run home-manager switch

when changing you home config. It should be done automacally when you rebuild your system with

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake <flake uri>

Updating and rebuilding

My config installs nh the nix helper. So you can just rebuild with

nh os switch <config-path> -H <config name>

Example:

nh os switch /etc/nixos -H main

i set the default flake path of nh to /etc/nixos so if you have your config there you can just run

nh os switch -H <config name>

or you can set the nh flake path to something else in your configuration and you can still run this command

TODO

Thanks :)

Thanks for checking this config and/or using my config :)
