config

See this repo here: https://github.com/aaronchall/config These are notes to myself, but might help others… (Edit this file with emacs!)

usage:

For new machine update system.stateVersion and name the machine a’la x1 (in flake.nix and repo’s x1.nix), give it hardware specific config from auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix and configuration.nix.

switch_config was aliased to something like sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/config/#x1 where x1 is the name of the flake in flake.nix. Now we have switch which is a function that does nh os switch ~/config and uses the hostname as the flake output.

Be sure to commit new files so flake can see them.

config:

• flake.nix - top level entry point, has all computers config’d
  • x1 - my laptop, uses the following nix files:
    • x1.nix - everything specific to the machine, stuff like
      • contents of old hardware-configuration.nix
      • keyboard media key mappings with actkbd
      • network device references from old configuration.nix
      • other machine specific configuration like systemd job and experimental services
    • console.nix - everything I would want on any nix console/bash shell
      • networks.nix - example file, actual details are uncommitted
      • colors.nix - long story, but used in both console and gui
      • prompt.sh - instead of multiline string, allows for syntax highlighting
    • gui.nix - everything I would want on any gui machine, browsers, editors, etc.
      • colors.nix - actually gave a pull request with these to kitty
    • home.nix - home-manager, dotfile kind of stuff, some things are just better handled by home-manager anyways.
      • home console - not broken down into these… yet.
      • home gui - not broken down into…
  • server
    • console.nix
    • home.nix console semantic

TODOS:

add server config
