About ❄️

In-house baked configs for Home-Manager and NixOS. Borrowed bits sprinkled on top. Using flakes and flake-parts.

See an overview of the flake outputs by running nix flake show github:asteriau/dotfiles.

Warning

This flake is tailored to my personal, opinionated daily workflow. Treat it as a reference rather than a drop-in replacement.

While it may be possible to just replace the user, hostname, and hardware configuration, doing so is not recommended.

🗃️ Structure

• hosts: host-specific configuration
• home: Home Manager config
• lib: helper functions
• modules: exported NixOS modules
• pkgs: package definitions
• system: NixOS configuration common between hosts

Each directory has its own README if you want to dive deeper.

📦 Exported packages

This flake exports several packages. To get a list of available packages, run

nix flake show github:asteriau/dotfiles

Run packages directly with the below command, replacing <packageName> with the desired package:

nix run github:asteriau/dotfiles#<packageName>

Or install from the packages output. For example:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs.asteriau-dotfiles = {
    url = "github:asteriau/dotfiles";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
}

# configuration.nix
{pkgs, inputs, ...}: {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.asteriau-dotfiles.packages."x86_64-linux".<packageName>
  ];
}

💻 Desktop preview

Currently, my widgets are created using QuickShell.

🛣️ Roadmap

Things I want to get done eventually

• Cross distro installation (probably doable via nix profile)
• Logout menu (currently my old wlogout)
• Login menu (currently just launches with greetd)
• Alt tab menu (kind of like ii's window picker)
• Quick toggle editor for the sidebar
• A more user friendly & modular way to make custom theme presets
• Refactor and document everything properly so ppl can add new modules easily

💾 Resources

Other configurations or places from where I learned and copied:

• mynixos saved me from option hell
• zero-to-nix teached me how nix works
• fufexan/dotfiles the goat (he thanks more people there btw)

There surely are more but I tend to forget. Regardless, I am thankful to all of them. <3
