My configs for both nixos and home manager only machines

  • Configs set options and specify programs to be installed. They do not specify their own options, and take effect as soon as they are imported. Generally, a config will be specific to a single program, and possibly optional dependecies of the main program.
  • Hosts define specific hosts. They are the entry point into the system. Each host must import configs/nixos/common.nix in the top level and configs/home-manager/common.nix in the home-manager block. Each host must also define the variables declared in modules/hostopts.nix.
  • Modules are always imported by the respective common.nix. They each have an enable option, and only have effects if enabled.
  • Roles are larger bundles of software and options. They define packages to be installed and may import configurations or enable modules.

Secrets

This repo uses nix-sops for secrets management, with the encrypted secrets being stored in a private repo imported as an input. if the nix-secrets input is commented out, the repo should still build, gracefully degrading to default, non-secret, values.
