|
||
* Flake File Setup
|
||
This configuration uses [[https://flake-file.denful.dev/][flake-file]]. This means my =flake.nix= file is
|
||
modular, as it allows me to define my inputs where I need them, and
|
||
not necessarily all at the same place. This can be a bit unusual for
|
||
people who are new to it, but trust me, it’s well worth it.
|
||
|
||
I’ll simply set up the outputs, a single one named =dendritic=, and the
|
||
description here, as nothing is too complicated.
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
<<inputs>>
|
||
flake-file.outputs = "dendritic";
|
||
flake-file.description = "NixOS and Home Manager configuration of P'undrak";
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** Inputs
|
||
Some flake imputs are required globally, as they are used by default
|
||
by this configuration and some hosts.
|
||
|
||
#+name: inputs
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
flake-file.inputs = {
|
||
<<inputs-nixpkgs>>
|
||
<<inputs-flake-parts>>
|
||
<<inputs-flake-file>>
|
||
<<inputs-import-tree>>
|
||
<<inputs-home-manager>>
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
First, we get to nixpkgs, which
|
||
is quite necessary to get NixOS up and running: it gives access to
|
||
Nix’s packages. I also have a =nixpkgsStable= input for the kernel of my
|
||
PineTab 2 tablet. Otherwise, I use Nix unstable.
|
||
|
||
#+name: inputs-nixpkgs
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
nixpkgsStable.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-25.11";
|
||
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs?ref=nixos-unstable";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Next, I need some inputs for my dendritic config. =flake-parts= is the
|
||
heart of it: it’s a framework for writing flake modules that can
|
||
easily be put together as a single module defining an entire system,
|
||
such as a home configuration or a host configuration.
|
||
#+name: inputs-flake-parts
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
flake-parts.url = "github:hercules-ci/flake-parts";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Next, we have flake-file, which permits the modularisation of my
|
||
=flake.nix= file itself, as mentioned abve.
|
||
#+name: inputs-flake-file
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
flake-file.url = "github:vic/flake-file";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Next, we have =import-tree=, which automatically imports my Nix files,
|
||
making all modules globally known.
|
||
#+name: inputs-import-tree
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
import-tree.url = "github:vic/import-tree";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And last but not least, =home-manager=. This allows me to manage the
|
||
programs of me as the user of my machine and not necessarily the
|
||
machine itself, as well as their configuration. As such, I can upgrade
|
||
a machine’s system without touching my environment, and the inverse is
|
||
true. However, it’s important to keep them in sync when it comes to
|
||
major upgrades of NixOS, so home-manager will follow the system’s
|
||
version.
|
||
#+name: inputs-home-manager
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
home-manager = {
|
||
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
|
||
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
