NullBite's NixOS Config

This is my personal NixOS config. Right now, it's just a basic flake which imports a (mostly) normal stock NixOS configuration. The plan is to have three separate levels of organization:

  • Fragments: Configure one specific service/app/setting/etc., which has the potential to be used on more than one machine.
    • Settings that will only ever work on one machine (e.g., settings which include disk UUIDs, PCIe bus IDs, etc) should be placed in a host fragment instead.
  • Roles: Define a "purpose" and import relevant fragments.
    • Roles aren't mutually exclusive; one system could pull in roles for, e.g., desktop environment, gaming, and server
    • This is inspired by the concept of roles in Ansible
  • Hosts: Configuration for individual hosts (obviously).
    • Each host shall have a folder containing a configuration.nix and a hardware-configuration.nix, and possibly a few host-specific fragments.
    • Custom configuration MUST NOT be placed in hardware-configuration.nix for the same reason one should not directly edit hardware-configuration.nix on a stock NixOS system. Most systems, however, generally will have some options exclusive to them, and these should be placed in the host's configuration.nix or a host fragment.

At first I am going to migrate configuration into roles, and then as the configuration evolves, I will start to create fragments.

The above is outdated and I will rewrite it once I settle on a better way to organize this repo.

flake.nix schema

flake.nix shall contain a "default" configuration for each host (using the built-in selection of nixos-rebuild), as well as alternative config presets for the host, if applicable.

TODO

  • Reorganize repo to use a more "standard" module layout.
  • Select entire desktop configuration via a single option and make bootable with specialisation.
    • Give each desktop a modularized configuration that can be enabled with an option.
    • figure out nixpkgs.lib.options.mkOption and add a string option that picks a desktop to use.
    • add Plasma, Hyprland, and maybe GNOME if I'm feeling silly (I'd probably never actually use it).
  • make more things configurable as options once I figure out the above, it's probably cleaner than importing modules.
  • Rewrite README.
