# 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.
|
|
|
|
## `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.
