In case you are not familiar with nix/nixos, this is a collection of configuration files which build all my systems in a declarative manner. The tool used to configure the global system is called nixos, and the one used to configure the individual users is called home-manager.

A visual history of my setup is in the works!

• Sets up all the apps I use — including git, neovim, fish, tmux, starship, hyprland, anyrun, discord, zathura, wezterm & much more.
• Sets up my entire homelab — including zfs-based impermanence, automatic let's-encrypt certificates, tailscale, syncthing, vaultwarden, whoogle, pounce, calico, smos, intray, actual & more.
• Consistent base16 theming using stylix
• Declarative secret management using sops-nix

The current state of this repo is a refactor of my old, messy nixos config, based on the structure of this template.

This repo's structure is based on the concept of hosts - individual machines configured by me. I'm naming each host based on things in space/mythology (they are the same picture). The hosts I have right now are:

• tethys — my personal laptop
• lapetus — older laptop running as a server
• euporie — barebones host for testing things insdie a VM
• enceladus — my android phone. Although not configured using nix, this name gets referenced in some places

Here's some things you might want to check out:

• My neovim config
  • written using a custom neovim config generation framework
  • snippets written in miros — my custom snippet generation language
• The flake entrypoint for this repository

Includes links to stuff which used to be in the previous section but is not used anymore. Only created this section in June 2023, so stuff I used earlier might not be here. Sorted with the most recently dropped things at the top.

• Ranger — I switched to Yazi
• firenvim - the concept is cool, but I found the whole thing pretty annoying at times
• venn.nvim — the concept is cool, but I would use it about once a year
• hydra.nvim — I was rarely using it, and it was taking up precious config space
• winbar.nvim — I mostly had this here for the looks, so I moved the path it provided to my statusbar
• treesitter-visual-context.nvim — felt like this was cluttering my screen more than anything
• Paperplanes.nvim — replaced by a single curl call
• Eww - experimented with eww for a bit, but setup was painful and bars are a bit useless
• Neogit — was a bit slow / clunky, so I switched to lazygit
• Slambda — custom keyboard chording utility. I retired the project in favour of kanata
• GPG + pass — I switched to vaultwarden
• Agenix & homeage — I switched to sops-nix
• Mind.nvim — self management tree editor. The project got archived, so I switched to Smos.
• Null-ls — general purpose neovim LSP. The project got archived, so I switched to formatter.nvim.

  • Polybar — desktop bar
