NixOS Config

This repository contains my configurations for NixOS and Home Manager. The goal of the project is to build a modular system that can adapt to servers, desktops, and laptops.

Getting Started

To start using this configuration, it is necessary to create a hardware configuration in the hardware directory. The configuration imports the hardware-configuration.nix and all the necessary modules for that specific hardware (located in the ./hardware directory). Once the hardware is configured for the machine, other settings can be set from the flake.nix file as follows. If you want to use your /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix you have to rebuild your system using --impure attribute.

Configuration

Set the parameters of userSettings and systemSettings in the flake.nix file to configure the system.
