I created a private repository within `registries/customer-projects`.
This holds flakes.
The folder is registered as registry.
That allows to run the following from within a customer project:
nix run cp\#reuter-phpstan
In order to execute the customer specific application from flake.

nixpkgs / nix home-manager
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
I currently use Ubuntu and installed nix alongside.
|
|
This repository contains my personal `~/.config/nixpkgs` folder,
|
|
for sharing, inspiration and retrieving feedback.
|
|
|
|
This includes `home.nix` to maintain `home-manager`,
|
|
see: https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This is my personal setup for my local laptop running Ubuntu.
|
|
I share this for free so everyone can have a look and inspiration or provide feedback to me.
|
|
|
|
This is not intended to be used by anyone else just by copy and pasting or cloning.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Install (clone) into `~/.config/nixpkgs`.
|
|
|
|
Install `home-manager` see: https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html
|
|
Execute `home-manager switch`
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Add packages to `home.nix` and run `home-manager switch`.
|
|
|
|
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/files`
|
|
Holds configuration files.
|
|
home-manager doesn't provide modules for all programs.
|
|
Those files can be added via `xdg.configFile`.
|
|
|
|
`home/modules`
|
|
Holds nix modules.
|
|
Not all programs provide modules out of the box.
|
|
I add my own here, which I might create PRs for in future.
|
|
|
|
`home/programs`
|
|
Holds home-manager `programs.` entries.
|
|
Each file corresponds to a single program.
|
|
Each file is loaded within `home.nix`.
|
|
|
|
`home/services`
|
|
Holds home-manager `services.` entries.
|
|
Each file corresponds to a single service.
|
|
Each file is loaded within `home.nix`.
|
|
|
|
`flakes/`
|
|
Holds structure with specific flakes.
|
|
Those should provide libraries and template.
|
|
|
|
Update
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The following will update the whole system and clean things up:
|
|
|
|
nix-channel --update \
|
|
&& home-manager switch \
|
|
&& home-manager expire-generations '-30 days' \
|
|
&& nix-env --delete-generations +5 \
|
|
&& nix store gc \
|
|
&& nix store optimise
|
|
|
|
This will update the channel (fetch state of nixpkgs).
|
|
It then will update system.
|
|
Delete old generations.
|
|
And run garbage collection.
|
|
|
|
Manual changes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
List of manual needed changes for various reasons.
|
|
|
|
* .desktop files seem not to be supported by home-manager yet.
|
|
They need to manually be linked, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.local/share/applications && ln -s ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/* .
|
|
|
|
Todos
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Migrate neovim
|
|
|
|
* Migrate ssh config (I don't really like to expose customer server names and configs to outer world, how to handle?)
|
|
|
|
* Migrate PGP?
|
|
|
|
* Right now I've installed gnupg2, gnupg, gpg on ubuntu
|
|
|
|
* Migrate firefox (with geckodriver), thunderbird, ungoogled chromium
|
|
|
|
* Migrate home manager to use flake for better rollback support if update breaks something.
|
|
|
|
* Maybe PR upstream: `./home/modules/programs/languagetool.nix`.
|
|
|
|
* Migrate other system configurations like keyboard?!
|
|
|
|
* Begin migrating further configuration, e.g. php fpm pools and apache config (Again I don't like customer internals in public repo, how to handle?)
|
|
Does that work? I guess nix (home-manager) shouldn't write outside of user home.
|
|
Maybe within vm as preparation of switch to nix os?
|
|
|
|
* Migrate desktop environment (is that possible? I select it within ubuntu login screen, guess it needs to be installed or registered somwhere in ubuntu)
|
|
i3-wm, i3, i3lock-color
|
|
|
|
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?
