NixToSee

nichts in german means nothing, if you say it fast it sounds like nix.

Beautiful button to my notes

folder structure

certificates

Should only contain public certificates. Though i am thinking about making even them a secret with the future (r)age-nix setup

dev_shells

Each dev-shell should have it's file or folder, even the default one

experiments

The feel free folder, but don't go overboard, it should be temporary or interim stuff.

hosts

Each host should have a folder with a default.nix in it. This file should import from system_profiles and can import specific things, but at some point just create a new system_profile. Especially when multiple hosts share imports

lib

nix functions, that can be used around this repo. Please not on the outside

modules

Most functionality is in here atm, not well defined yet. But basically just NixOS options

overlays

nixpkgs overlay, right now only used for nixos-unstable

system_profiles

This whole folder is for the most part just a system to clean up importing

• Files in the system_profiles directory:
  • Should never import anything from parent directories
  • Can import things from the child directories
  • The importers directory:
    • Should only import things outside (above/parent) of the system_profiles directories.
    • Probably only from the module directory or maybe a future nix-modules directory, this rule is not set in stone yet
    • Should not import anything outside of this repository
  • The components directory:
    • Should never import anything from this repository
    • It can import things from nixpkgs
    • Should set only basic "system" wide settings ("system" is not well defined) NixOS has profiles this should be a similar concept to them
      • NixOS profiles
      • NixOS manual on profiles
