  • dotfiles

    NixOS system config & Home-Manager user config (by fufexan)

    • Project mention: NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-26

    I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.

    Some specific ones I really like:

    https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs

    https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles

    I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:

    https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix

    If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)

    Some other unsolicited tips:

    1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration

    2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin

    3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding

    Good luck!

  • fenix

    Rust toolchains and rust-analyzer nightly for Nix [maintainer=@figsoda] (by figsoda)

    • Project mention: Use nix-shell or systemPackages | /r/NixOS | 2023-07-09

    Rustup works as is. Though note that Nix supplants all such toolchain installers such as Rustup, nvm, etc. I.e. instead of Rustup there is fenix.

    • Project mention: miasma | /r/neovim | 2023-06-16

    I don't know. Have been using colorbuddy for ages now and it has always done exactly what I want. I don't need the "instant reaload" that lush advertices, doing :source on the colorscheme file, does the same for me to preview changes instantly. This is my theme, in case you need something to start with: - https://github.com/pinpox/nixos/blob/main/home-manager/modules/nvim/lua/config/pinpox-colors.lua

  • base16.nix

    Theme applications with your favourite base16 colorschemes in Nix

  • nix-config

    ❄️ My nix config and dotfiles (by oddlama)

    • Project mention: Caddy plugins on NixOS | /r/NixOS | 2023-06-12

    You can also override the caddy package to inject modules into the build process without needing xcaddy: See https://github.com/oddlama/nix-config/blob/b5d2d31b6903f5829490513c1297e7ea1e54899c/pkgs/caddy.nix

  • nix-configs

    My Nix{OS} configuration files (by thiagokokada)

    • Project mention: XML is better than YAML | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

    Sorry, didn't see this comment. It is here: https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-configs

    In the `actions` directory is all the Nix files. There is some glue code in `lib/flakes` to generate the YAML files from Nix.

    Just the other week I used Nix on my laptop to derive a PXE boot images, uploaded those to IPFS, and netbooted my server in another country over a public IPFS mirror. The initrd gets mounted as read-only overlayfs on boot. My configs are public: https://github.com/jhvst/nix-config
