configuration.nix/README.md

My NixOS Configuration as a NixOS module

This is only intended for my use, but you can see how I overengineer stuff by looking at it :p (maybe you can also learn some stuff on the way).

This README only has a small amount of information, if you want to see the full documentation then go to https://jalil-salame.github.com/configuration.nix. I also overengineerd this c: (if you want to copy this for your own project, then take a look at the docs folder.

Try out in a VM

If you already have nix you can run the following commands:

$ nix run nixpkgs#nixos-rebuild -- build-vm --flake .#vm
building the system configuration...

Done.  The virtual machine can be started by running /nix/store/$hash-nixos-vm/bin/run-nixos-vm
$ /nix/store/$hash-nixos-vm/bin/run-nixos-vm -vga virtio

The default user is jdoe and the default password is example.

Note

The -vga virtio flag is important, sway won't run if it is missing.
