nix-home

My nix home manager configuration. This will eventually replace my dotfiles repository and maybe even my ansible repository once I get NixOS figured out.

Usage

This repository expects nix to already be installed. See home-manager docs for info on how to install home-manager. Once nix and home-manager are installed, clone this repository to ~/.config/home-manager and run home-manager switch to activate the configuration.

1. Install Nix
2. Clone this repo to ~/.config/home-manager

mkdir -p ~/.config/home-manager
git clone https://github.com/magikid/nix-home.git ~/.config/home-manager

3. Install Home Manager

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs
nix-channel --update
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

4. Wait
5. Reopen your terminal. You may want to reboot too.

Upgrading to newer Nixpkgs and newer Home Manager versions

1. Visit Nix Channel Status and find the current stable version.
2. Change the version on the end of nixpkgs.url and home-manager.url in flake.nix.
3. Run home-manager switch --flake $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager
4. Wait while everything rebuilds
