Dotfiles

My dotfiles repo.

I use Nix's home manager, though currently only to manage symlinks.

Home Manager with Nix Flakes

Installing Home Manager, Linux Standalone Installation

bash ./scripts/bootstrap-x86_64-linux.sh

or using this repository's flake URI, i.e. github:rgoulter/dotfiles

nix build --no-link github:rgoulter/dotfiles#homeConfigurations.rgoulter-x86_64-linux.activationPackage
"$(nix path-info github:rgoulter/dotfiles#homeConfigurations.rgoulter-x86_64-linux.activationPackage)"/activate

Using the dotfiles.nix Configuration

From this repository's directory:

home-manager switch --flake '.#rgoulter-x86_64-linux'

or using this repository's flake URI, i.e. github:rgoulter/dotfiles

home-manager switch --flake 'github:rgoulter/dotfiles#rgoulter-x86_64-linux'

Using these dotfiles in Your Home Manager Configuration

I found it useful to know that you can use Home Manager modules from different repositories.

Here's an example of configuring Home Manager in a flake.nix file, using the dotfiles.nix file (exported as nixosModules.dotfiles) in your flake.nix:

{
  description = "Home Manager configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager = {
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    rgoulter = {
      url = "github:rgoulter/dotfiles";
      inputs = {
        home-manager.follows = "home-manager";
        nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
      };
    };
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
    in {
      homeConfigurations.jdoe = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
        inherit pkgs;

        modules = [
          rgoulter.nixosModules.dotfiles
          # ...
        ];
      };
    };
}
