Nix

For setup, run the following:

# NixOS setup
sudo ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/nix/flake.nix /etc/nixos/flake.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.dotfiles

# nix-darwin setup
nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.dotfiles

# home-manager setup
nix run github:nix-community/home-manager -- switch --flake ~/.dotfiles

Concepts

Hosts are configured with a user-level nix target (home-manager) and often a host-level nix target (nix-darwin, nixos, etc).

In general, packages should be installed at the user-level unless they need to be installed at a system level to work properly. This includes things like system daemons, programs needed to set up the system, and shells.

Work Computers

Note that the Nix flake in this repo is also used as a dependency in a private work flake. This allows me to keep most common configuration here, in modules, and have any work-specific config in a private repo.
