It allows users to choose between =Hyprland= and =Mangowc= as their window manager, with shared and WM-specific configurations managed via Emacs Org and Nix Flakes. The project is designed for reproducibility, maintainability, and cross-machine compatibility. *** Installed components: **** Core **** Hyprland **** Mangowc *** Goals, project Structure, import hierarchy This project uses a **modular NixOS configuration** with **Hyprland** and **MangoWC** support, designed for **literate programming** and **cross-device reusability**. The Droidnix repository is organized into two main parts: 1. =.assets/=: Static, non-generated files (e.g., configs, scripts, themes). 2. Generated folders (=system=, =hyprland=, =mangowc=): NixOS and Home Manager configurations, generated from Org files. #+title: NixOS Configuration Structure * Root Level - =flake.nix= is the entry point and imports: - =generated/assets/= - =generated//modules/= - =generated/hosts/= * Generated Structure The =generated/= directory contains all generated configurations, divided into three main groups: =system=, =hyprland=, and =mangowc=. ** First Setup 1. Clone this repository. 2. Run the setup script: =./setup_droid=. 3. Edit =.assets/system/conf/base.conf= to choose your window manager (=wm = "hyprland"= or =wm = "mangowc"=). 4. Tangle this Org file to generate Nix configurations: =C-c C-v t= in Emacs or use this: =emacs README.org --batch -f org-babel-tangle && emacs --batch --eval "(setq org-html-htmlize-output-type nil)" README.org -f org-html-export-to-html= 5. Build and switch: =sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#=. --- * The Assets Folder :assets: :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: the-assets-folder :END: The =.assets/= folder contains all static files, such as configs, scripts, and themes. These files are not generated and can be edited directly. * The Actual Code :code: :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: the-actual-code :END: This section contains the Org blocks for tangling Nix code into the generated folders. ** =flake.nix= The Nix flake definition for Droidnix. #+BEGIN_SRC nix :tangle flake.nix :noweb tangle :mkdirp yes :eval never-html { description = "Droidnix: A dendritic NixOS + Home Manager configuration"; inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; home-manager = { url = "github:nix-community/home-manager"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; import-tree.url = "github:vic/import-tree"; stylix = { url = "github:nix-community/stylix"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; zen-browser = { url = "github:youwen5/zen-browser-flake"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland"; }; outputs = { self, nixpkgs, home-manager, import-tree, stylix, hyprland, zen-browser, ... }: let system = "x86_64-linux"; flakeRoot = self; in { nixosConfigurations = { traveldroid = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { inherit system; modules = [ ./generated/hosts/traveldroid/host.nix ]; specialArgs = { inherit flakeRoot; inherit home-manager import-tree stylix hyprland zen-browser; }; }; }; }; } #+END_SRC ** =generated/hosts/traveldroid/host.nix= #+BEGIN_SRC nix :tangle generated/hosts/traveldroid/host.nix :noweb tangle :mkdirp yes :eval never-html { lib, config, pkgs, flakeRoot, import-tree, home-manager, ... }: let hostname = "traveldroid"; modulesPath = "${flakeRoot}/generated/modules/${hostname}"; usersPath = "${flakeRoot}/generated/users"; hostModules = import-tree modulesPath; globalUsers = import-tree usersPath; allModules = hostModules.imports ++ globalUsers.imports; in { ################################# # Core system config ################################# networking.hostName = hostname; system.stateVersion = "26.05"; ################################# # Imports ################################# imports = [ ./boot.nix ./hardware-configuration.nix # REQUIRED for Home Manager home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager ] ++ allModules; ################################# # Home Manager integration ################################# home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true; home-manager.useUserPackages = true; } #+END_SRC ** =generated/hosts/traveldroid/hardware-configuration.nix= 1.
