Use without flakes?

[keirlawson]

I have a regular NixOS configuration.nix that does not make use of flakes, is it possible to use nix-flatpak in this scenario without flakes? If not, would it be possible to add support for this?

Hey @keirlawson,

nix-flatpak uses flakes for ease of distribution, but under the hood it's just a nix module. You should be able to use it without flakes by manually cloning the repository (e.g. with builtins.fetchGit or fetchTarball) and importing the module (e.g. nix-flatpak/modules/nixos.nix) in your configuration.nix.

That's a happy case scenario that I have never tried though.
