nixcfg
My nix configuration(s), using flakes. It's my laptop, it's my servers, it's my everything, in code. (by MatthewCroughan)
The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fish and nix develop question
I have a wrapper function that just maps to dev to make life easier: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/develop.fish

Possible to make a machine independent NixOS configuration/flake?
Never fully got it to work, so I just encrypt my secrets when I build my isos: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/actions/runs/5055636638/jobs/9072093945

Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?
I have multiple files for each machine based on hostname. I have CI strip my config of all system specific information for general distribution. For reference: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots

Using current flake setup with WSL2
I build a wsl image: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/nix/machines/wsl.nix

how to store secrets needed at install time
What I do: Keep secrets in a separate git repo as a flake, and have a stub flake, that can be overridden: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/tree/template/nix/spoof

(maybe) ex arch user need some help to understand
I have a script that will symlink my dotfiles in (github:dmadisetti/.dots/setup.sh), because you also end up with weird RO permissions if you do it through Nix. I think this is fine. It also means that you aren't stuck with Nix

Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
The way I manage multiple systems is with a wrapper: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/snix.fish

Arch user, convince me to hop to Nix
The only thing that is semi manual is setting up disks on first install (something you'd still have to do with arch). You can still script that: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/scripts/run-install.nix.sh

Take the Nix Pill
Go to https://nixos.org/ and come to your own conclusion. I've argued with hundreds of people about this, and I don't want to start again. Just have fun! For one thing, every machine I have is defined as infrastructure as code here, and it's reproducible https://github.com/matthewcroughan/nixcfg. That's impressive. If you don't think so, then you probably don't need Nix, and may not appreciate what it does. You can read the Nix Thesis https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf if you want more of a technical understanding. I also recommend reading http://www.infrastructures.org/papers/turing/turing.html for a background on why reproducibility matters and congruency matters.

Do you all just git init inside your /etc/nixos directory?
In this example, nixcfg is my Nix code (therefore my whole configuration) from https://github.com/matthewcroughan/nixcfg
