My system configurations for NixOS and Darwin (macOS)	Marco Schneider

This repository contains my personal nixos and home-manager configuration.

It manages the configuration for multiple hosts:

• wayfarer: My work MacBook Pro, running macOS.
• oxomoco: My personal laptop, running NixOS.

Home Configuration

Shared configuration between hosts can be found in home.nix. Each host refines that configuration in their respective home.nix declarations.

System Configuration

Each NixOS host defines its system configuration in

• configuration.nix: System configuration.
• hardware-configuration.nix: Hardware specific configuration configuration.

It is somewhat modularized (see modules). I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to copy anything in here (there are better, more well thought out configurations like this this one), but it gets the job done.

Modules can be included in the respecfive home configurations via an enable option (and possible more). If, for example, you want your host to use the configured kitty terminal emulator, just enable it in the home configuration like this:

modules.programs.kitty.enable = true;

Install

macOS

Assuming you have =nix= installed: Clone this repository and then, from the root of the project run:

nix build .#home-configuration.wayfarer.system --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes

This is only required the first time around.

Updates

Switch to a new generation

NixOS

Using nixos-rebuild:

nixos-rebuild switch --flake <point to dotfiles> --use-remote-sudo

macOS

To switch to the next generation of your system/user config, run:

home-manager switch --flake .

Update packages

To update the packages (i.e. upgrade), run

nix flake update

Or, if you only want to update the nixpkgs input, run

run flake lock --update-input nixpkgs
