nix-dockyard

nix-dockyard is a small Nix flake-driven configuration collection for NixOS hosts and Home Manager setups. It contains host configurations, hardware-specific overlays, and reusable Nix modules (e.g., Docker configuration).

Quick Start

• Prerequisites: Install Nix with flakes enabled and have root access on target NixOS hosts.
• Explore available outputs:

nix flake show

• Apply a host configuration (example polaris):

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#polaris

• Apply Home Manager (example):

home-manager switch --flake .#<your-host-or-user>

Repository Layout

• flake.nix: Top-level flake entrypoint for building host and home configurations.
• home.nix: Root Home Manager configuration.
• modules/docker.nix: Reusable Docker/Nix module used by host configurations.
• hosts/common.nix: Common settings shared across hosts.
• hosts/polaris/configuration.nix: Example NixOS host configuration for polaris.
• hardware-configurations/polaris.nix: Hardware-specific options for the polaris machine.

See these files in the tree for details: flake.nix, home.nix, modules/docker.nix, hosts/common.nix, hosts/polaris/configuration.nix, hardware-configurations/polaris.nix.

Goals & Scope

• Provide reproducible NixOS host configurations for personal machines.
• Keep modules small and composable (e.g., Docker support isolated in modules/docker.nix).
