I currently use Ubuntu and installed nix alongside.
Migrate readme from rst to md I prefer restructured text, but Gitea has no out of the box support. So switch to markdown as there is more or less no difference anyway, for such a simple file. One big downside: There is no definition list.
2022-02-09 19:09:12 +01:00
This repository contains my personal `~/.config/nixpkgs` folder,

This includes `home.nix` to maintain `home-manager`,
Replace my-packages with home-manager Move all packages to home.nix and remove `my-packages` derivate. Also define dunst service and remove readme entry related to configuration and services. Those are now maintained via home-manager. The "update" section in readme got updated to reflect new home-manager.

Add packages to `home.nix` and run `home-manager switch`.
Extend nixpkgs dunst systemd service The service can not be enabled, as it doesn't contain the ``[Install]``. The overlay patches that two lines to the service. That's to my current knowledge.
2022-02-01 17:14:21 +01:00
Add systemd service for languagetool home-manager doesn't provide a systemd service itself. That's why we build one ourself. That also revealed a change in our directory structure. The structure is now documented within readme.

`home/files`

2022-02-03 09:10:38 +01:00

Those files can be added via `xdg.configFile`.

I add my own here, which I might create PRs for in future.

Cleanup nix flakes + shells Remove flakes for now. I will use shells for now to not have a mixed setup. Add composer v1 for a single customer project as overlay due to usage in shell instead of flakes. Adjust folder to not have unnecessary deep structure. Add shell for reuter monorepo using composer v1.
2022-04-14 15:46:49 +02:00
`shells/`
Holds shells for customer projects.
The customers are not aware of Nix and I don't want to stress them.
I use this folder to have them in version control and symlink them into the
project.
Add first basic flake to be used as flake.nix in projects The flake is very basic and encapsulates frontend compilation via node for customer projects. The flake is intended to be used by other flake.nix within the projects, which will use the defined packages to build apps outputs. They should use the packages like `writeShellApplication` itself, call it with necessary argument set in order to receive a out of the box working solution. A template is also provided which can be used like: nix flake init -t <path to this flake> `defaultTemplate` is defined in output and will be used.

Update
------
Migrate update to own package
2022-02-14 08:05:09 +01:00
Update can be done via `custom-update-system` package which is available within
the overlay.

Migrate manually installed robo3t to home-manager The tool wasn't available via apt and was manually installed beforehand.
2022-02-03 09:46:08 +01:00
Manual changes
--------------
List of manual needed changes for various reasons.
Maintain more global options via home-manager Use home-manager to create xsession. Readme contains info on how to start xsession on login. That way home-manager can maintain languages, keyboard and further stuff globally for user. No more need to set stuff as workaround within i3 or zsh. Also enabled to start systemd units after login, as home-manager will create and trigger `hm-graphical-session.target`.
2022-05-20 12:39:40 +02:00
* Allow gdm3 to use xsessions as login.
Add the following content as `/usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop`:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=XSession
Comment=This session uses the custom xsession file
Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession
Type=Application
X-DesktopNames=GNOME-Flashback;GNOME;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-flashback
This is used by gdm3 (installed via ubuntu host) to allow logging in via
xsession which will pick up all the settings generated by home-manager.
Do not forget to call `sudo desktop-file-install xsession.desktop` to make
system aware of the file.
Add todos In order to not forget and have something at hand. Maybe others read them and provide further ideas which I can built on.

Migrate borg backup to proper shell script installed via nix
2022-05-24 17:33:16 +02:00
* Thunderbird configuration to nix. Seems like no module exists, but is same as
for firefox.
Optimize update command Use new nix store gc. Also optimise file system usage by optimising -> converting duplicates to hardlinks.
2022-02-10 21:34:32 +01:00

* Maybe PR upstream: `./home/modules/programs/languagetool.nix`.
Update todos
2022-02-09 09:34:22 +01:00
Update todos in readme system tools are not possible and I stick to ubuntu as a host os. In general I shouldn't care to much about the host OS. I use nix for most things and will improve the situation. Most customers also have ubuntu or debian systems as servers. It is a good thing to have the same folder and software setup.
2022-05-20 09:32:30 +02:00
* i3lock-color
Extend i3 installation node

2022-02-02 22:35:28 +01:00
Ideas
-----
* Maybe I can have a private channel which provides more sensitive info like customer related things and is referenced from here?
I then can make that repo private but keep this one here public?
