    My reproducible system config made with nix (by aruZeta)

  • I am pretty new to nix and have seen examples of people configuring specific applications dotfiles (example 1 example 2) with nix. This sounds appealing to me but I cant for the life of me find where all the possible options are for a given package.

    There is man configuration.nix, which provides an overview. Otherwise there is the nixpkgs repo under nixos/modules/programs, if you are good with reading nix. There is also search.nixos.org.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
