Migrate universal-ctags setup to home-manager 
As we add more and more files, move to set with curly braces.
Maybe home-files is a better approach, but not documented and I don't
understand it to well yet. I guess I've to create a derivation which
"builds" all the files. Maybe to complicated right now.

Might also make sense to build modules for such tools in future where I
can configure within nix, just like git.nix, and it will generate the
config. Might be cool for some things where configs might change, but
the actual things to configure might not. The generation of the file can
change within nix, while configuration within nix stays the same?! ;)

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

Table of Contents

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/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:

nix-channel --update && home-manager switch && home-manager expire-generations '-30 days' && nix-store --gc

This will update the channel (fetch state of nixpkgs). It then will update system. Delete old generations. And run garbage collection.
