Our great sponsors
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.

- My First Impressions of Nix
-
How can I calculate the "age of money" with (h)ledger?
If you're familiar with Python, I have a script which does that (along with a few other metrics): https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/1c99414156a7081ade210a9f43a3941b44a4ef0b/hosts/nyarlathotep/jobs/hledger-export-to-promscale.py

Issues getting docker containers with databases set up
I run a lot of services through docker containers, here's how I structure things: https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/master/services/concourse.nix
-
Who's here runs NixOS with opt in state?
I do. I have a fairly small chunk of configuration to stick all persistent state I care about in a different ZFS dataset (mounted to /persist) and do the rollback.
-
Do you all just git init inside your /etc/nixos directory?
It's what I do.
-
Erase your darlings: immutable infrastructure for mutable systems (erasing root on every boot)
You can see the relevant bit of my config on github.
-
How do you manage your private keys?
My solution - which is not great, mind you - is to have my NixOS config defined across two git repos: one is public, the other is private and has all the secrets.
-
Erasing root on every boot
All my nixos config is on github.

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
- Diving straight into flakes with no channels?
-
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
-
Rice NixOS?

-
(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
