  1. nixfiles

    I currently have a PC and a laptop, and I run NixOS on both. My config uses flakes https://github.com/freemagma/nixfiles, and I've done a lot of work making things portable between my two computers.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. nixos-config

    KISS NixOS configuration based on Flakes & flake-parts (supports macOS too) (by srid)

    In https://github.com/srid/nixos-config I share home-manager modules (everything under ./home/ basically) between NixOS and macOS.

  4. nixos-configs

    My NixOS and nix-darwin configs (by reckenrode)

    There are my configs: https://github.com/reckenrode/nixos-configs.

  5. digga

    A flake utility library to craft shell-, home-, and hosts- environments.

    The digga library, while being more complex to use than other solutions here, got a pretty elegant solution for it merged a few weeks ago. Still some cracks that are getting smoothed over, but it seems to work.

  6. nix-darwin

    nix modules for darwin

    https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin allows system level management of macOS similar to NixOS. I use it to share a lot of config between NixOS and macOS. My config isn't public but there are plenty of examples out there for using it this way

  7. dotfiles

    Configuration files (.emacs) (by acowley)

    My take on this is not as polished as it could be, but works well for me.
