Nix Flake for my Linux machines running NixOS.
Nix Flake configuration for my Linux machines running NixOS.
The directory structure can be interpreted as follows:
## Structure
- [`flake.nix`](./flake.nix): Main entrypoint for the configuration
- [hosts/*hostname*](./hosts): Host-specific configuration by setting options
- [modules](./modules): Declarations of options
- [modules/users/*username*](./modules/users): Since users are dependent on a host machine to exist, they are defined as a module as well
- [overlays](./overlays): Attribute overrides of Nix Packages
- [secrets](./secrets): Encrypted files that hold secrets, for example SSH private keys
The directory structure is organized as follows:
- [`flake.nix`](./flake.nix): Main entrypoint for the configuration.
- [hosts/*hostname*](./hosts): Host-specific configuration by setting options. Each host has its own folder.
- [modules](./modules): Declarations of configuration options.
- [modules/users/*username*](./modules/users): User-specific configuration. Users are defined as modules, as they are dependent on a host machine.
- [overlays](./overlays): Attribute overrides for Nix Packages.
- [secrets](./secrets): Encrypted files that store sensitive information, such as SSH private keys.
[Modules](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_modules) are a key component of NixOS. They encapsulate various configuration options, which should make it easy for you to integrate it into your specific configuration.
