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 its hardware-configuration.nix, as well as one or more configurations specific to that machine. These modules will serve the same purpose as fragments, but are exclusive to that host
- 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 a
At first I am going to migrate configuration into roles, and then as the configuration evolves, I will start to create fragments.
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.
