This repository contains my NixOS system configuration managed through Nix and Home Manager. NixOS provides a declarative, reproducible, and reliable approach to system configuration, where the entire system state is defined in code. By using Home Manager alongside NixOS, I can manage both system-level configurations and user environment settings in a unified, version-controlled workflow. This setup ensures consistent environments across machines, simplifies system recovery, and enables easy testing of configuration changes through atomic upgrades and rollbacks.
The following convenience scripts are available in the bin/ directory:
# Apply home-manager changes
bin/nix-home
# Apply system-level changes
bin/nix-system
# Update channels and upgrade both system and home-manager
bin/nix-upgradeThese scripts will automatically be added to your PATH.
The system is configured to automatically show changes between system generations during activation.
For manual comparison of system generations:
# Compare current system with the system profile
nvd diff /run/current-system /nix/var/nix/profiles/system
# Compare any two system generations
nvd diff /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-XXX-link /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-YYY-link- Shared base configuration in root directory
