Jordan's Nix Configurations

Uses Flakes, Home Manager, and Nix Darwin (for MacOS hosts)

I have tried to put as much of the configuration as possible into Home Manager in order to be portable across different environments.

Hosts

(Hosts have Instruction Set Architecture of x86_64-linux unless specified otherwise)

Desktops

medserv: Media server and desktop for viewing. OS: NixOS.

Laptops

tux: My main personal laptop running NixOS and using Home Manager.

thinky: My work laptop, currently running Fedora and using the Nix package manager and Home Manager.

mbp: My former work laptop, a MacBook with M1 (ARM) chip running MacOS, using Nix-Darwin and Home Manager. No longer in use, config is likely outdated. ISA: aarch64-darwin

Servers

sovserv: Self-sovereign data and services. OS: NixOS.

finserv: Nix-Bitcoin and related services. OS: NixOS.

Other

shared: Configuration that can be shared across multiple hosts.

TODO (High Level)

tux

• Configure Hyprland on tux

finserv

• Figure out how to connect electrs to liquidd
• Figure out how to connect mempool to liquidd

medserv

• Install NixOS
• Configure tailscale, media viewer e.g. VLC, browser, GSConnect, etc.

sovserv

• Personal portfolio website (TODO)
• Matrix server (TODO)
• Gitea (TODO)
• Obisidian Live Sync (TODO)
• Vaultwarden (TODO)

Task List (Low Level)

• Configure zsh autosuggest/autocomplete (which one? both?) to avoid using arrow keys for completion.
• Remove repetition by declaring username only once in flake.nix, then passing to other modules.

Research Needed

• On non-NixOS systems, how to declaritively configure things not available in home manger? I think the answer to this is system-manager - Postgres/Redis <-- solution for Alta is to run these in containers - Docker <-- Possibly replace with Podman which doesn't require root and might be nixable - Flatpak <-- Research declarative flatpak
