NixOS and nix-darwin Configurations for My Machines

This repository contains NixOS and nix-darwin configurations for my machines, managed through Nix Flakes.

It is structured to easily accommodate multiple machines and user configurations, leveraging nixpkgs, home-manager, nix-darwin, and various other community contributions for a seamless experience across NixOS and macOS.

Structure

  • flake.nix: The flake itself, defining inputs and outputs for NixOS, nix-darwin, and Home Manager configurations.
  • hosts/: NixOS and nix-darwin configurations for each machine, including system-specific settings.
  • home/: Home Manager configurations for user-specific settings and applications.
  • files/: Miscellaneous configuration files and scripts used across various applications and services.
  • flake.lock: Lock file ensuring reproducible builds by pinning input versions.
  • overlays/: Custom Nix overlays for package modifications or additions.

Key Inputs

  • nixpkgs: Points to the nixos-unstable channel for access to the latest packages.
  • nixpkgs-stable: Points to the nixos-24.05 channel, providing stable NixOS packages.
  • home-manager: Manages user-specific configurations, following the nixpkgs input (release-24.05).
  • hardware: Optimizes settings for different hardware configurations.
  • catppuccin: Provides global Catppuccin theme integration.
  • spicetify-nix: Enhances Spotify client customization.
  • darwin: Enables nix-darwin for macOS system configuration.
  • nix-homebrew: Integrates Homebrew package management with nix-darwin.

Usage

Adding a New Machine with a New User

To add a new machine with a new user to your NixOS or nix-darwin configuration, follow these steps:

  1. Update flake.nix:

    a. Add the new user to the users attribute set:

    users = {
      # Existing users...
      newuser = {
        email = "newuser@example.com";
        fullName = "New User";
        gitKey = "YOUR_GIT_KEY";
        name = "newuser";
      };
    };

    b. Add the new machine to the appropriate configuration set:

    For NixOS:

    nixosConfigurations = {
      # Existing configurations...
      newmachine = mkNixosConfiguration "newmachine" "newuser";
    };

    For nix-darwin:

    darwinConfigurations = {
      # Existing configurations...
      newmachine = mkDarwinConfiguration "newmachine" "newuser";
    };

    c. Add the new home configuration:

    homeConfigurations = {
      # Existing configurations...
      "newuser@newmachine" = mkHomeConfiguration "x86_64-linux" "newuser" "newmachine";
    };
  2. Create System Configuration:

    a. Create a new directory under hosts/ for your machine:

    mkdir -p hosts/newmachine

    b. Create configuration.nix in this directory:

    touch hosts/newmachine/configuration.nix

    c. Add the basic configuration to configuration.nix:

    For NixOS:

    { config, pkgs, ... }:
    
    {
      imports = [
        ./hardware-configuration.nix
        ../modules/common.nix
        # Add other relevant modules
      ];
    
      # Add machine-specific configurations here
    }

    For nix-darwin:

    { config, pkgs, ... }:
    
    {
      imports = [
        ../modules/common.nix
        # Add other relevant modules
      ];
    
      # Add machine-specific configurations here
    }

    d. For NixOS, generate hardware-configuration.nix:

    sudo nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hosts/newmachine/hardware-configuration.nix
  3. Create Home Manager Configuration:

    a. Create a new file for the user's home configuration:

    mkdir -p home/newuser
    touch home/newuser/newmachine.nix

    b. Add basic home configuration:

    { config, pkgs, ... }:
    
    {
      imports = [
        ../modules/common.nix
        # Add other relevant modules
      ];
    
      # Add user-specific configurations here
    }
  4. Building and Applying Configurations:

    a. Do not forget to check-in new files in git by running git add .

    b. Build and switch to the new system configuration:

    For NixOS:

    sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#newmachine

    For nix-darwin:

    darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#newmachine

    c. Build and switch to the new Home Manager configuration:

    home-manager switch --flake .#newuser@newmachine

Updating Flakes

To update all flake inputs to their latest versions:

nix flake update
