My NixOS configuration

Flake-based modular NixOS configuration for multiple hosts:

• zenith, a 13” Framework laptop (Ryzen 5 7640U) I use for general productivity work
• ayame, a 14” Thinkpad (Core i7-1185G7) I use for work-related stuff
• lateralus, a Framework mainboard (Core i5-1240P) repurposed as a server

In the future I plan to install NixOS on my desktop equipped with an Nvidia GPU.

What’s my setup?

I’ve been happily running Hyprland as my first tiling WM/compositor since April 2023. For work I mainly use Android Studio and VS Code; for personal projects I prefer Vim and Doom Emacs. I use the Home Manager NixOS module to manage my dotfiles.

Process for adding a new host

In order to get this config up and running on a clean install on NixOS, the user is required to do some manual setup. Parts of this manual setup are able to be automated in the future.

• Clone repo in /home/meeri/10-projects/nixos
• Create a hosts subdirectory and populate it with configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix found in /etc/nixos
• Create an entry in the attribute set nixosConfigurations in flake.nix and include the appropriate modules
• Delete the now-redundant /etc/nixos directory and create a symlink from /home/meeri/10-projects/nixos to /etc/nixos
• Set up doom-emacs (link)
• Make sure secrets are present in /root (for smb and borgbase); secrets management will be refined with SOPS + age in the future
