No need for overlays.
Instead create own packages and call them via callPackage.
That will keep them simpler and allows dependency injection.
I can follow existing patterns from nixpkgs, etc.
I'm still on Ubuntu and use etckeeper to track changes to /etc.
This small script will push it to my own Gitea instance as a backup and
online history in case I need it.
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.
Change i3 config to match current hardware setup.
Add custom dmenu script to start and stop recording.
Move internal dmenu scripts into local variables.
Do not add whitespace before exports. Let them be saved to zsh history.
This allows to search them and execute them in other splits more easily.
Remove dead unused code, e.g. testing database, which I didn't use for a
while.
In order to use from actual path, prevent issues with broken versions.
The script was linked against an 2021 version of home-manager which was
incompatible with current unstable nixpkgs.
That prevented updates.
There is now no concrete version, but it will use the once from current
PATH.
This allows to use the latest "current" version as defined by system.
More or less in order to have a show case and working example.
There is no huge benefit in that case.
But it demonstrates that a default.nix could call callPackage and
benefit from 1:1 copy of nixpkgs package definition.
Also eases debugging of the derivation / package.
My host does no longer provide any node or npm or yarn.
Project are partially migrated to shell.nix already.
I still need to migrate all projects. But I'm not working to much on
frontend and don't need to re compile assets to often, so no worries.
Some stuff will not work anymore, e.g. coc within neovim needs nodejs.
That's broken for now, but I don't care to much, not sure whether I used
it at all.
That will be part of neovim migration to home-manager / nix.
No longer have all of them as files and apply sed.
Instead define dependencies via nix expression.
Also allow to write the scripts within nix expression.
Some are still large and separate .sh files, but loaded within
expression.
Also only the main file is exposed as others are only dependencies.
Still all can now be installed as all are separate derivations.
The new writeShellApplication also executes shellcheck as another
benefit. And it makes script executable.
Does not exist yet, add own derivation via overlay.
Exclude tests for documented reasons.
Fix broken indentation in readme.rst
(used as test case for installed rst2pdf);
This scripts is run from shell and created my development environment
(IDE) within a new tmux session.
Don't expect documentation. It was written only for myself.
This is grown and contains fallbacks to old conventions.
Add my very first own derivation (via overlay).
Use existing scripts for dmenu.
"Build" result for nix out of the scripts,
e.g. replace references to nix dependencies.
Create proper output so nix can move it to proper places.
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.
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.
Right now I've a custom service in
~/.config/systemd/user/languagetool-server.service:
[Unit]
Description=LanguateTool Server
StartLimitBurst=3
StartLimitInterval=400
[Service]
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=2s
; This should work, but doesn't seem to work: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.resource-control.html
; Maybe due to legacy control group hierarchy version 1?
; MemoryMax=3%
Environment="JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xmx256m"
ExecStart=/home/daniels/.nix-profile/bin/languagetool-http-server --port 8081 --allow-origin "*"
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Unsure how I can generate the service file.
That should be more modern then the manual entry.
It actually allows to reference the "current" package states, e.g. from
other overlays with applied patches.
Installation is now not different from any other derivation:
nix-env -i my-packages
