This repository contains the NixOS configuration for my machines. The quality might be questionable as I'm still learning how to use nix. I try to keep most configuration modular, but without introducing too much boilerplate complexity, to avoid making code hard to understand and follow.
-
configs/: Contains all configuration modules
- common/: Common configuration modules shared across all machines
- required/: Core modules that are required for all machines

To build and apply the configuration for the current machine:
./apply-system.shTo update the system:
./update-system.shEach machine's configuration is defined in its own directory under configs/. The default.nix file in each machine directory imports the common modules and any machine-specific modules.
To add a new machine:
- Create a new directory under
configs/with the machine name - Create a
default.nixfile that imports the common modules and any machine-specific modules - Create a
hardware-configuration.nixfile with the hardware-specific configuration - Create a
configuration.nixfile with any machine-specific settings
The configuration is organized into modules to reduce duplication and improve maintainability. Each module is responsible for a specific aspect of the system configuration.
