I currently use Ubuntu and installed nix alongside.
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains my personal ``~/.config/nixpkgs`` folder,
|
|
|
|
|
for sharing, inspiration and retrieving feedback.

Folder structure
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The folder ``overlays`` contains overlays for nix itself.
|
|
|
|
|
E.g. alter packages like patching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The folder ``home`` is related to extras for home-manager.
|
|
|
|
|
It has the following sub folder:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``home/configurations``
|
|
|
|
|
Holds home-manager configuration for packages / services.
|
|
|
|
|
Each file corresponds to a single package.
|
|
|
|
|
Each file is loaded within ``home.nix``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``home/services``
|
|
|
|
|
Holds custom definitions for systemd services.
|
|
|
|
|
Each file corresponds to a single service.
|
|
|
|
|
Each file is loaded within ``home.nix``.

Update
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following will update the whole system and clean things up::
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-02-02 17:40:23 +01:00
|
|
|
nix-channel --update \
|
|
|
|
|
&& home-manager switch \
|
|
|
|
|
&& home-manager expire-generations '-30 days' \
|
|
|
|
|
&& nix-store --gc
|
2022-02-01 17:11:13 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will update the channel (fetch state of nixpkgs).
|
2022-02-02 17:40:23 +01:00
|
|
|
It then will update system.
|
|
|
|
|
Delete old generations.
|
2022-02-01 17:11:13 +01:00
|
|
|
And run garbage collection.
