Dotfiles Modules

This repository provides a collection of custom NixOS modules which are in use by me. My actual dotfiles are now private because there is no reason to have private host configurations public. The reusable/public configurations are contained within the modules provided in this repository.

Usage

To use the modules, add the following flake input to your flake:

dotfiles-modules = {
	url = "github:quirinecker/dotfiles-modules";
	inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

In case you want to update the input flakes this flake imports yourself (recommended), then you would need to declare the inputs yourself and make this flake follow those inputs:

dotfiles-modules = {
  url = "github:quirinecker/dotfiles-modules";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  inputs.zen-browser.follows = "zen-browser";
  inputs.walker.follows = "walker";
};

zen-browser = {
  url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

walker = {
  url = "github:abenz1267/walker";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Then import the modules in your home-manager configuration or add it to the modules of the home configuration:

imports = [
    inputs.dotfiles-modules.homeManager
]

or

homeConfigurations.<username> = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
	...
	modules = [
		inputs.dotfiles-modules.homeManager
	];
};

Note: If you are new to NixOS, i might add a template repository for the modules which should be simmilar to my own homemanager config.

The docs for the individual mdoules can be found here.

Development

This repository does not run on its own, because it is meant to be used as a flake input. When I develop on this repository I usually override the input on my doftiles flake. To do this you can usually just add the following option at the end.

<command to switch configuration> --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)

This will override the dotfiles-modules input with the flake that is located in the current directory. You can see below some example usages of this option with different commands.

nh home switch -- --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)

nh os switch -- --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)

home-manager switch --flake <path-to-your-local-flake> --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)

nixos-rebuild switch --flake <path-to-your-local-flake> --override-input dotfiles-modules path:$(pwd)
