# My NixOS configs
TODO: add directory structure info and enforce it
- every root folder in the repo represents a flake output except inputs
- every root folder only has a `default.nix` and subfolders for each
of its attrs
- in a subfolder, there should always be a `default.nix`
- if there is non nix code, it will be in a `config` folder
- redo docs
## AGS
You might find it weird that most of my config is written in TypeScript.
That's because all my desktops run
[AGS](https://github.com/Aylur/ags)
for UI. Click on
[this](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/nixosModules/ags)
to see my configuration.
I'm also a victim of Stockholm syndrome at this point and make my scripts
in TypeScript because it's the scripting language I am most comfortable with.
## About
### General
This repo is the complete configuration of machines I own,
running NixOS or Nix. Its structure is based on a flake's
[outputs](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes#Output_schema).
### Flake Location
This git repo will always be located at `$FLAKE` (`config.environment.variables.FLAKE`)
and symlinked to `/etc/nixos` to have everything where NixOS tools
expect things to be.
ie.
```bash
sudo rm -r /etc/nixos
echo "$FLAKE" # /home/matt/.nix
sudo ln -sf /home/matt/.nix /etc/nixos
```
### Flake Outputs
| Output | Description |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `nixosConfigurations` | [devices](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/devices)' + ISO's configurations |
| `nixOnDroidConfigurations.default` | [Nix-On-Droid](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/devices/android)'s configuration |
| `packages` | Some custom [packages](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/packages) not available in nixpkgs or modified from it |
| `scopedPackages` | Some custom [package scopes](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/scopedPackages) not available in nixpkgs or modified from it |
| `apps` | Scripts ran from the flake defined [here](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/apps) |
| `homeManagerModules` | [Modules](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/homeManagerModules) made for home-manager |
| `homeManagerModules` | [Modules](https://git.nelim.org/matt1432/nixos-configs/src/branch/master/nixosModules) made for NixOS systems |
| `formatter` | I format nix code with [alejandra](https://github.com/kamadorueda/alejandra) |
| `devShells.default` | A dev shell to build an ISO from the live-image nixosConfiguration |
| `devShells.ags` | A dev shell to have a NodeJS env when I enter my AGS's config directory |
### Flake Inputs
To allow use of the full nix language for my inputs, I use [genflake](https://github.com/jorsn/flakegen).
Therefore, the flake I edit is located at `./outputs.nix`.
I also prefer using a more descriptive format for my inputs like so:
```nix
nixpkgs = {
type = "github";
owner = "NixOS";
repo = "nixpkgs";
# Branch name
ref = "nixos-unstable";
# Pin this input to a specific commit
rev = "842d9d80cfd4560648c785f8a4e6f3b096790e19";
};
```
to make it more clear what is what in the flake URI
### Secrets
All my secrets are in a private git repo that makes use of
[sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix).
I generate `.sops.yaml` from `.sops.nix`:
```nix
let
wim = "somekey";
binto = "somekey2";
in {
creation_rules = [
{
path_regex = "secrets/[^/]+\\.(yaml|json|env|ini)$";
key_groups = [
{
age = [wim binto];
}
];
}
];
}
```
which is then converted to `.sops.yaml` using
[remarshal](https://github.com/remarshal-project/remarshal)
and this shell command:
```bash
nix eval --json --file ./.sops.nix | remarshal --if json --of yaml > .sops.yaml
```
