nix-config

This repo stores nix to manage my machines running both NixOS (including WSL) and macOS.

The configuration is very specific to my own machines and setup, but it may be a useful reference for anyone else learning or experimenting with nix, whether it be on a personal workstation or a server environment.

Setup

on macOS: install the latest unstable nix from https://github.com/numtide/nix-unstable-installer (for nix flakes), and nix-darwin: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin

To run a rebuild:

make

Update

To update nixpkgs defined in flake.nix, run:

make update

If there are updates, they should be reflected in flake.lock.

Pre-commit hooks

Pre-commit hooks are automatically activated when direnv is installed.

Encryption

Overly sensitive configuration is encrypted with git-crypt.
