[Question] When using flakes, can I remove all channels?
You don't need channels to use nix-shell or nix-env. You can generate the Nix path and registry from your flake inputs. flake-utils-plus makes this easy with nix.generateRegistryFromInputs and nix.generateNixPathFromInputs.
-
How do I deploy a configuration to a machine with an existing hardware-configuration.nix?
Use flake-utils-plus to easily define multiple systems in flake.nix.and then use the --target-host flag of nixos-rebuild to deploy it remotely.
-
Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
If you're trying to handle multiple systems with one config a flake is a significantly better option. I would personally recommend looking at flake-utils-plus and specifically this example config.

Best way to manage multiple home manager configs for both NixOS and non-NixOS systems using flakes?
I looked at some past threads / examples and saw people recommend flake-utils-plus, but after reading the examples I don't understand how I would get home-manager on Darwin or Ubuntu.

Depending on your specific needs, the channelsConfig (modify arguments passed to Nixpkgs) and overlay tooling in flake-utils-plus may be adequate: https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/tree/...

What to do...
For flakes you don't have to set up everything manually there are helper libraries, I use flake-utils-plus.
-
How shall I install a package not found at https://search.nixos.org/packages?
Converting to flakes is not that hard if you use a good library. The documentation is other people's configs, really.

I made a thing you can load in Nix repl to get variables from your NixOS configuration
Neat! I've been using flake-utils-plus's implementation until now. https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/blob/master/lib/repl.nix
