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.

How does the workflow look with flake based config?
If you put your flake in a Git repository, you can reference the repo without having to clone it by using a flake reference syntax. I keep my flake in GitHub, so I use github:reckenrode/nixos-configs to reference it when running nixos-rebuild, etc.
-
What has your experience been with system.autoUpgrade? (optionally, with flakes)
I use a GitHub action to run nix flake update nightly to bump my flake. My systems are set to update nightly (rebooting as necessary). It’s bee mostly free of problems. I did lose my Raspberry Pi 4B+, but that was a pretty hacky set up, and I didn’t bother to dig into why it stopped booting. Otherwise, it’s been pretty smooth. The only time I’ve needed to boot into a previous generation was when I botched some config changes when updating to a new NixOS release.

Off-the-shelf NAS supporting NixOS
I’m running NixOS on a QNAP TS-453D. I wiped the software that came with it and run on the bare metal. I’ve added 16 GiB of RAM and an AX210-based Wi-Fi card to it. Everything works pretty well with three 16 TiB SeaGate Ironwolf Pro drives on ZFS and an SSD for the NixOS install itself. My NixOS config for it is here.

setting up dxvk on nixos
DXVK is available in nixpkgs. If you install it, it provides the setup_dxvk.sh script to inject DXVK into a Wine prefix. For an example of a derivation that sets up a prefix and copies the DLLs into it manually, see the FFXIV derivation in my configs.

Sharing configuration between NixOS and MacOS
There are my configs: https://github.com/reckenrode/nixos-configs.
-
DXVK 1.10 for Mac
Thanks for the clarification. I think our goals are just divergent. I’m looking for something that uses the packages in nixpkgs and integrates nicely with my nixos-configs, which I use to declaratively manage my macOS environments (none of my Linux systems are capable of running the game).
-
Flake structure for multi system
My flake does most of those things. I don’t have any systems with WSL, so I’m not sure whether or how that would work. If it can be created by nixosSystem, then it would probably work. I take a pretty different approach in my flake though. I’ve structured it so I can define platforms, hosts, and users by convention. Adding a new host is just creating the right directory and dropping a configuration.nix in it. Still, that might not be helpful for your needs since you’ve already got an established convention.

How to use different channels in a flake to configure NixOS?
I make use of multiple channels in my nixos-configs. Instead of using overlays, I pass them as specialArgs to the system build function (e.g., lib.nixosSystem). That lets me reference them in my configuration as just another set of packages (e.g., I reference flake-specific packages, unstable packages, and x86_64-darwin packages here). Note that you also need to pass them as extraSpecialArgs to your specialArgs to access them from your Home Manager configuration.
-
Stuck in migration to flake for configuration.nix
The way I handle it in my configs is to add unstable as an attribute via an overlay. If I need a package from unstable, I can use it via pkgs.unstable..

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.
