#flakes — Public Fediverse posts

Well, this is kind of neat. #railway's #railpack has support for #GleamLang. I was not expecting that. 😅

I still package all my things with #nix #flakes, like a madman. Still. It is nice to see these featured adoptions like this. 😎

Multi-platform outputs should be the most basic thing a flake does. Yet,, the common answer was to pull in flake-utils/flake-parts: an extra input, a limited "default systems" list from a third-party repo, and pinned copies piling up in nested lock files.

Meanwhile, builtins.mapAttrs over nixpkgs.legacyPackages covers every platform nixpkgs supports — with zero inputs. Since August 2026, `nix flake init` gives you exactly this.

@tomgag I agree. Thanks for speaking up. There is much positive feedback about the move to ban LLM code on #codeberg. It risks strengthening liberal big tech by leaving it dominant. I use LLMs to help build tested #nixos #flakes that run my machines, yet I now worry my fleet setup processes using codeberg could be ruined by other's decisions. That is why dependence on large platforms is risky & this move has proven this. I use #radicle & #reticulum #rngit as a backup for Codeberg as it is flaky.

@yisraeldov
Now if we make the flake.nixosModules.somename : {arg1, arg2} = {}
Then we can start composing too.

In short: it's a very neat approach to modularize the options which scales better.

Those who are using nix flake-parts and dendritic pattern, feel free to correct me or simplify this please.

Who here does flake reviews??

(Please I've already been ghosted once by someone whose review I was really looking up to 🥲)

Kurze Frage bzgl. #NixOS und #flakes:

"sudo nix flake update --flake /etc/nixos/" wurde ausgeführt. Ein "nix flakes info" bringt u.A. das Bild im Anhang. Führt mich ein Update der Inputs also zu einem Stand von vor 6 Tagen für nixpgks?
Ich würde ja erwarten, dass ich zumindest ein tagesaktuelles Bild sehen würde

So, I gave #devenv a try.

I'm used to work with #nix #flakes but I have to admin the devenv.nix file is less cluttered which lead to a better UX. But this comes at the cost of an extra devenv.yaml file. Why not, not a fan, but it works.

But, while #devenv configs are composable locally, they can't import a remote config as #flake does.

Also, `devenv shell` breaks my #tmux / #nvim setup where my #flake works like a charm.
So, yeah, I'll keep my #flake for now.
At work and at home.

Nyt taisin löytää kaikkien aikojen kaninkolon, mitä linux on mulle tarjoillut. Ajattelin kesäprojektina päivittää oman NixOS flaken noudattamaan dendritic flake -logiikkaa ja sen seurauksena ajauduin denful-projektin nettisivuille. Saattaa olla, että kirjottelenkin flaken suoraan den-logiikan mukaiseksi nyt kun sain perus (lue: raakile) dendritic flaken toimimaan oikein. #NixOS #flakes #denful #Linux

NixOS - Das Multi-Host-Setup individualisieren

In meinem letzten Beitrag der NixOS-Reihe zeige ich, wie man einen einzelnen Rechner aus dem gemeinsamen Setup herauslöst und individuell konfiguriert – ohne die anderen Rechner auch nur zu berühren.

RE: https://social.tchncs.de/@innocentzero/116675994298580921

So far, it's going good! I'm using the default way of installing packages for now, and also using the graphical installer. I'll probably first get a hardware-configuration.nix that uses labels instead of UUIDs, and preferably a prettier mapper name than luks-<insert-UUID-here>. I still need to do this through the calamares installer, and I'll migrate to CLI for everything once I'm done with my #flakes setup

#nixos #nix

Fellas, I have 2 months before my next major commitment, my j*b. Wish me luck as I attempt to fully internalize the workings of #nixOS, #nix the language, and nix the pacman. I'd set up a #systemd #nspawnd #container for regular linux work. (I'd like other suggestions on this). My current plans:

- #flakes/'modern' practices
- dotfile integration (not using #homemanager)
- use #bitwarden integration somehow natively and bridging between bitwarden store cloned locally and #linux keystore (not even sure what I mean here)
- #secureboot that unseals the encrypted root partition keys from the TPM and auto-decrypts my root
- #nixpak as much
- package my scripts to be proper packages/flakes/modules/whatever for better integration
- #snix/ #lix?
- #dhall config instead?

Give more suggestions/tips

So I'm re-writing my NixOS config to use flake-parts right?

It accidentally came up using Nouveau/NVK and I legitimately did not even notice.

A month ago I wanted to switch to #Helix and immersed myself in #HomeManager, #Flakes, #sops-nix, and #colmena. Today, after a long redesign of my #NixOS module structure, I successfully applied colmena to the first test node. Twelve more will follow. This OS is wild.

Announcing #GratisOffice today, a "Vanity Office suite" of mine:
- Its free-as-in-freedom first
- source-only (that is: no binaries provided, you have to build it yourself)
- proudly forked from @CollaboraOffice (and thus indirectly also #LibreOffice)
- equally happy to have its commits and patches upstreamed to either of them with proper attribution under the MPLv2
- also aiming to soon create a trivially easy build environment on _all_ of #Linux using #nixos #flakes
- all details can be found in the README: https://codeberg.org/bjoern-michaelsen/gratisoffice#gratis-office

We're finally configuring Wireguard - but we only get a third of the way there in this blog post. Lots of exciting option config stuff tho, and a new blog feature which lets me interrupt myself.

Okay, the long awaited, most anticipated, overly masturbated part two is ready for public consumption:

We're finally, almost, ready to configure Wireguard ​:hypecirno:​

Also, I won't have to write any more shell scripts in Nix which I do not enjoy at all.

If you give it a read please let me know! I find it encouraging, and the feedback helps me grow as a writer.

Any tips and tricks for using #git for #nix #nixos #flakes : when the "mother flake" flake lives on a public repo & is set up to provide multiple #configurations for different machines built using:
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
I dug myself into a hole by copying the files from the mother flake repo to set up a new machine and the flake on my new machine has diverged & cannot be merged back into the mother flake repo because I did not *clone* it down so has no common git history

I’ve been thinking through disaster recovery with #NixOS #flakes, impermanence, and #ZFS.
A flake defines a system declaratively, but assumes storage (e.g. ZFS pools) and persisted data (e.g. /persist) already exist. Flakes don’t create storage—they only configure it. Right?

https://blog.xvrqt.com/nix-wireguard.html

Writing a new series on using Nix to configure Wireguard. It's probably overly ambitious as I have had the completed flake done for personal use for weeks now, but writing the blog means redoing it step by step in excruciating detail.

I had to keep cutting scope for each post and now, after typing all day, I finally have... the basic option setup for it. How is writing so hard? Why would a loving god cause such agony?

Feedback welcome, as I think part of my problem is I don't understand who my audience is so I never know what I can leave out and what I should explain further.
