    Discontinued My Emacs configuration (2018-2021) (by akirak)

  • An alternative is to write a Nix wrapper for Emacs with the dependencies in PATH: https://github.com/akirak/emacs.d/blob/maint/flake.nix. Then I use nix run to start Emacs. I don't think this is recommended in this community, but it works for me.

  • emacs-overlay

    Bleeding edge emacs overlay [maintainer=@adisbladis]

  • Instead of defining extra Emacs packages in Nix, you can use emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage function from emacs-overlay.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Home Manager using Nix

    Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

  • I'm not that adept with nix either, unfortunately, so I can't decipher that much from either the home-manager source or the nixpkgs source. It does add a default.el and some site-start stuff, but I'm not sure why that would mess with your init file.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS
