Here's my NixOS/home-manager config files. Requires Nix flakes.
Looking for something simpler to start out with flakes? Try my starter config repo.
Highlights:
- Multiple NixOS configurations, including desktop, laptop, server
- Opt-in persistence through impermanence + blank snapshotting
- Encrypted single BTRFS partition
- Fully declarative self-hosted stuff
- Deployment secrets using sops-nix
- Mesh networked hosts with tailscale and headscale
- Flexible Home Manager Configs through feature flags
- Extensively configured wayland environments (sway and hyprland)
- Declarative themes and wallpapers with nix-colors
- Hydra CI/CD server and binary cache that uses the desktops as remote builders
All my computers use a single btrfs (encrypted on all except headless systems)
partition, with subvolumes for /nix, a /persist directory (which I opt in
using impermanence), swap file, and a root subvolume (cleared on every boot).
Home-manager is used in a standalone way, and because of opt-in persistence is
activated on every boot with loginShellInit.
All you need is nix (any version). Run:
nix-shell
If you already have nix 2.4+, git, and have already enabled flakes and
nix-command, you can also use the non-legacy command:
nix develop
nixos-rebuild --flake . To build system configurations
home-manager --flake . To build user configurations
nix build (or shell or run) To build and use packages
sops To manage secrets
For deployment secrets (such as user passwords and server service secrets), I'm
using the awesome sops-nix. All secrets
are encrypted with my personal PGP key (stored on a YubiKey), as well as the
relevant systems's SSH host keys.
On my desktop and laptop, I use pass for managing passwords, which are
encrypted using (you bet) my PGP key. This same key is also used for mail
signing, as well as for SSH'ing around.
Most relevant user apps daily drivers:
- hyprland + swayidle + swaylock
- waybar
- helix
- fish
- alacritty
- qutebrowser
- neomutt + mbsync
- khal + khard + todoman + vdirsyncer
- gpg + pass
- tailscale
- podman
- zathura
- wofi
- bat + fd + rg
- kdeconnect
- sublime-music
Some of the services I host:
- hydra
- navidrome
- deluge
- prometheus
- websites (such as https://m7.rs)
- minecraft
- headscale
Nixy stuff:
- nix-colors
- sops-nix
- impermanence
- home-manager
- deploy-rs
- and NixOS and nix itself, of course :)
Let me know if you have any questions about them :)
That's how my hyprland desktop setup look like (as of 2022 July).
