This repository contains a literate NixOS configuration built using Emacs Org mode. The primary source of truth is this document itself, which embeds configuration blocks that are tangled into individual files. These generated files are evaluated as a NixOS flake, resulting in an immutable, reproducible system configuration. This work is based on the foundational efforts of Sandeep Nambiar (https://github.com/gamedolphin). All credit for the original structure, methodology, and guidance belongs to him. His work provided the architectural basis and practical direction upon which this repository is built. This project would not have been possible without his prior contributions, and much of the instructional approach preserved here originates from his documentation. The purpose of this repository is to offer a structured, minimal starting point for deploying a functional NixOS system. It is intentionally not a complete desktop environment, nor is it a “batteries-included” distribution. Instead, it provides a clean and extensible foundation that can be adapted and expanded after installation. Customization is designed to occur primarily through modular .conf files, allowing the system to evolve incrementally while maintaining clarity and separation of concerns. The goal is to enable users to build their own tailored NixOS setup on top of a coherent and reproducible base. Before proceeding with installation, it is strongly recommended to read this documentation carefully. Understanding the structure and design philosophy will help ensure a smooth setup and provide the necessary context for extending the system effectively. * Pre-requisites to edit this setup - a NIXOS system installed (can be bare-bones) - an internet connection To set up a connection from cli: #+begin_src bash :tangle no block # Check if NetworkManager service is running systemctl status NetworkManager # If not running, start it temporarily sudo systemctl start NetworkManager # Enable Wi-Fi radio (in case it is disabled) nmcli radio wifi on # List available Wi-Fi networks nmcli device wifi list # Connect to a Wi-Fi network (replace SSID and PASSWORD) nmcli device wifi connect "SSID_NAME" password "YOUR_PASSWORD" # Verify that the connection is active nmcli connection show --active # Optional: show device status nmcli device status #+end_src * machine1 — template machine To generate the Nix files: #+begin_src bash :tangle no emacs README.org --batch -f org-babel-tangle #+end_src Test the build while being able to reboot to previous version #+begin_src bash :tangle no sudo nixos-rebuild test --flake .#machine1 #+end_src Build and switch to this version on the next reboot #+begin_src bash :tangle no sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#machine1 #+end_src Build and run in a virtual machine (qemu must be installed) #+begin_src bash :tangle no sudo nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake ~/nixos-henrov#machine1 # running the vm: ./result/bin/run-nixos-vm #+end_src un this VM with result/ #+begin_src bash :tangle no emacs README.org --batch -f org-babel-tangle #+end_src Once the Nix files are generated, deploy using: #+begin_src bash :tangle no nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# #+end_src Other files in this repo include: * ~flake.lock~ for pinning input versions. * ~assets/*~ for non-Nix-managed artifacts such as images and wallpapers. Generated outputs should not be edited directly. A CI workflow can tangle and commit generated outputs when they differ. ** Emacs + Org + Tangle * [[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs)]] is used as the editor and execution environment for this literate configuration. * [[[https://orgmode.org/][Org](https://orgmode.org/][Org) mode]] provides the document structure and the source block execution model used here. * Tangling exports source blocks from this Org document into the corresponding configuration files. * References of the form ~<>~ are noweb placeholders that are expanded from other blocks during tangling. ** Nix & NixOS * [[[https://nix.dev/][Nix](https://nix.dev/][Nix)]] is used to define packages, environments, and configuration as pure expressions. * [[[https://nixos.org/][NixOS](https://nixos.org/][NixOS)]] evaluates Nix expressions into a complete system configuration that can be applied by rebuild operations. ** Repository layout and folder conventions #+HTML:

#+HTML: This repository contains system modules, user modules, and configuration fragments. The following directories are treated as separate layers: #+HTML: ./configuration (NixOS modules), ./home (Home Manager modules), and ./assets/conf (configuration fragments referenced or deployed by the modules). #+HTML:

** Notes #+HTML: ~YourNixCode(Input) -> System Configuration~ I use [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][nix flakes]] which means that the entry point for the nix evaluation is a file called ~flake.nix~ which has two parts (among other things) #+begin_src nix { inputs: # describes the function input, consisting mainly of package sources outputs: # what the function outputs, a nixos configuration in our case } #+end_src Nix flakes is still behind an ~experimental~ flag, but it is de facto the standard by most of the community. Flakes allow us to pin the input package versions using a ~flake.lock~ file. This prevents unwanted and surprise updates when rebuilding without changing the configuration. * TLDR App List | Window Manager | [[https://hyprland.org/][Hyprland]] | | Bar | [[https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar][Waybar]] | | Application Launcher | [[https://github.com/abenz1267/walker][Walker]] | | Notification Daemon | [[https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst][Dunst]] | | Terminal Emulator | [[https://alacritty.org/][Alacritty]] | | Shell | [[https://ohmyz.sh/][Zsh]] and [[https://starship.rs/][Starship]] | | Text Editor | [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] | | File Manager | [[https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start][Thunar]] | | Fonts | [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2025-02-12-aporetic-fonts-version-1-1-0/][Aporeti]] | | Colors | [[https://catppuccin.com/][Catppuccin]] | | Icons | [[https://nix.catppuccin.com/][Catppuccin Nix ]] | | Lock Screen | [[https://wiki.hyprland.org/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprlock/][Hyprlock]] | | Wallpapers | [[https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprpaper][Hyprpaper]] | * Configuration Variables I have a bunch of constant strings that I would rather put in a file. Thats what ~user.nix~ is. The values are imported at the beginning and are available to almost all the functions being called to configure the system. #+begin_src nix :tangle user.nix { system = "x86_64-linux"; username = "henrov"; stateVersion = "25.11"; locale = "nl_NL.UTF-8"; } #+end_src * Flake Inputs The inputs for my system's configuration are very simple 1. [[https://search.nixos.org/packages][nixpkgs]] - the main nix repository of packages. Its huge and growing. Pinned to the unstable release channel. Sometimes pinned to a specific commit because unstable broke something and the fix hasn't made it into the release yet. 2. [[https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/][home-manager]] - a nix module that helps keep track of user specific dotfiles and configurations as part of my nix config. 3. [[https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay][emacs-overlay]] - this has more configuration options and generally a newer emacs available provided by the community. 4. [[https://nix.catppuccin.com/][catppuccin]] - nix module that allows everything to be catppuccin themed. #+begin_src nix :tangle flake.nix :noweb tangle { description = "Henrov's nixos configuration"; inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; home-manager = { url = "github:nix-community/home-manager"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; emacs-overlay = { url = "github:nix-community/emacs-overlay"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; catppuccin = { url = "github:catppuccin/nix"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; zen-browser = { url = "github:youwen5/zen-browser-flake"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; }; <> } #+end_src * Flake Output Now that the inputs are ready, the outputs define what the system will actually look like. I also define the machines that this configuration specifies early on. Finally, I iterate over the ~machines~ list and pull files from ~/.machines/${name}~ subdirectory. This allows me to have configuration that has machine specific configuration limited to those files while also keeping a modular reusable base. We also add a devshell that makes editing this repository easier in emacs. #+name: flake-outputs #+begin_src nix :noweb no-export outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, emacs-overlay, catppuccin, ... }: let user = import ./user.nix; lib = nixpkgs.lib; machines = [ "traveldroid" ]; pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit (user) system; }; in { nixosConfigurations = builtins.listToAttrs ( builtins.map (machine: { name = machine; value = lib.nixosSystem { modules = [ <> <> <> catppuccin.nixosModules.catppuccin # theme ]; specialArgs = { hostname = machine; inherit user; inherit inputs; flakeRoot = inputs.self; }; }; }) machines ); devShells.${user.system}.default = pkgs.mkShell { buildInputs = with pkgs; [ nil nixfmt-rfc-style ]; }; }; #+end_src Lets look at the individual modules 1. Emacs The first is the emacs overlay so that it uses the nix-community emacs overlay from the inputs instead of the nixpkgs one. Overlays are a special nix way to override existing packages within a repository. #+name: flake-emacs-module #+begin_src nix ({ ... }: { nixpkgs.overlays = [ emacs-overlay.overlays.default ]; }) #+end_src 2. Then the machine specific configuration, in this case, just "traveldroid". #+name: flake-config-module #+begin_src nix ./machines/${machine}/configuration.nix #+end_src 3. And finally the home-manager module. This can be initialized and managed on its own but I'd rather use the ~nixos-rebuild~ command to build everything instead of managing userland dotfiles separately. #+name: flake-home-module #+begin_src nix :noweb no-export home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager { home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true; home-manager.useUserPackages = true; home-manager.extraSpecialArgs = { inherit user inputs; flakeRoot = inputs.self; }; <> <> } #+end_src - Home-Manager will not overwrite existing configuration files and that is good in most cases, but when everything is declarative like it is here, I'd rather that home-manager create a ~.backup~ and replace the file. #+name: flake-home-backup #+begin_src nix home-manager.backupFileExtension = "backup"; #+end_src - Finally I pull in the machine specific home configuration. Along with the overrides from catppuccin. #+name: flake-home-config #+begin_src nix home-manager.users.${user.username} = { imports = [ ./machines/${machine}/home.nix catppuccin.homeModules.catppuccin ]; }; #+end_src ** Envrc + Direnv Editing this file will be much nicer if we have the dev environment configured. That is done in the devshells section. But to auto load this dev shell, we need a .envrc file. This tells [[https://direnv.net/][direnv]] to load the devshell in the flake. #Finally, we also look for a .envrc-private file and try to load that. That contains devshell specific secrets. #+begin_src nix :tangle .envrc use flake watch_file .envrc.private if [[ -f .envrc.private ]]; then source_env .envrc.private fi #+end_src * Machines The individual machines subdirectory is configured as follows :- #+name: tree #+begin_src ditaa +--machine | +--configuration.nix | +--home.nix | +--hardware-configuration.nix #+end_src - configuration.nix has the system configuration. - home.nix has the user level configuration. - hardware-configuration.nix has the unique hardware configuration. - Note about imports ~imports = []~ in a nix file will pull in the function/object from the list of files provided. This imported object (or function result) is just trivially merged into a common object. We can take a look at that the common hardware options I have for all my machines. *** Other Utils **** Updates To update the computer, I just need to update the ~flake.lock~ file to have references to the latest repository. This is done with :- #+begin_src bash nix flake update #+end_src * Hardware I'll let the code comments explain the file here. #+begin_src nix :tangle hardware/hardware.nix :noweb tangle :mkdirp yes { pkgs, lib, user, config, ...} : { nixpkgs.hostPlatform = lib.mkDefault user.system; # x86_64-linux powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor = lib.mkDefault "powersave"; # enable power saving on the cpu # update cpu microcode with firmware that allows redistribution hardware.cpu.intel.updateMicrocode = lib.mkDefault config.hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware; hardware = { # always enable bluetooth bluetooth.enable = true; # always enable graphics drivers and enable a bunch of layers for it (including vulkan validation) graphics = { enable = true; extraPackages = with pkgs; [ vulkan-validation-layers # helps catch and debug vulkan crashes ]; }; }; hardware.enableAllFirmware = true; # enable all firmware regardless of license } #+end_src * Configuration This section describes the main system configuration for the computers that I have. Nix will look for a ~default.nix~ file if you give it a path to a folder to import. And ~default.nix~ looks as follows :- #+begin_src nix :tangle configuration/default.nix :noweb tangle :mkdirp yes { pkgs, user, ... } : { imports = [ ./apps/install_flatpaks.nix ./apps/install_packages.nix ./core/files.nix ./core/locale.nix ./core/networking.nix ./core/nix-settings.nix #./core/login-tuigreeter.nix ./core/login-lightdm.nix ./desktop/audio.nix ./desktop/hyprland.nix ./dev/terminal.nix ./core/boot.nix ./services/services.nix ]; <> <> <> <> # enable the catppuccin theme for everything with mocha + blue accents catppuccin.enable = true; catppuccin.flavor = "mocha"; catppuccin.accent = "blue"; system.stateVersion = user.stateVersion; } #+end_src ** Apps section This section describes a way of installing packages, either through nixpkgs orr flatpak.
