This repository is a personal Nix configuration (dotfiles) for managing a heterogeneous fleet of machines: NixOS desktops and servers, macOS laptops (via nix-darwin), and Kubernetes clusters (k3s, KubeVirt). It is structured as a Nix flake with modular components for system configuration, home-manager profiles, package overlays, secrets management (agenix), and infrastructure monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Loki). The codebase demonstrates advanced Nix patterns: parameterized module generators for K3s and KubeVirt, automatic file scanning for module imports, declarative disk partitioning (disko), ephemeral root filesystems with persistent state (preservation), and sandboxed GUI applications (nixpak, bwrap). It also includes a custom desktop shell (noctalia) and extensive input method customization (Rime/Fcitx5). While highly personalized and not intended for direct reuse, the architectural patterns and modular design serve as a reference for building complex Nix-based infrastructure. The repository is actively maintained with eval tests and CI, but lacks integration tests for runtime services.
This is a personal dotfiles repository for NixOS, authored by Henrik Lissner (hlissner). It serves as a complete, declarative system configuration for multiple machines (laptops, desktops, and a HTPC) using Nix flakes. The repository defines the entire system—from the bootloader and kernel parameters to the desktop environment (Hyprland), shell (zsh, tmux), development tools, and custom utilities. It is not a standalone application but a collection of configuration files, NixOS modules, and scripts that together form a highly opinionated, reproducible computing environment. The architecture is centered around a Nix flake (flake.nix) that imports modular NixOS modules organized by category (desktop, development, editors, shell, services, hardware profiles, themes, etc.). A custom CLI tool called 'hey' (written in Janet) provides a command hub for system management tasks like rebuilding, garbage collection, profile switching, and dotfile synchronization. The desktop environment is heavily customized with Hyprland (Wayland compositor), rofi launcher menus, matugen-based dynamic theming, and a suite of utility scripts for screenshots, screen recording, audio, and more. While the repository is not designed for reuse by others (it explicitly warns against being used as a community framework), several components demonstrate high craftsmanship and could be extracted with minimal modification. The Janet libraries under lib/hey/ provide a reusable command-line argument parser, an async rofi interaction library, and general utility functions. The Nix library (lib/nixos.nix) implements a flake builder pattern that could be adapted for other multi-host NixOS setups. The matugen templates and rofi themes are also potentially reusable as standalone theming assets.
This repository is a comprehensive, declarative NixOS homelab configuration managed with the Clan framework. It defines the entire infrastructure for a multi-machine homelab including servers, desktops, and network devices, all version-controlled and reproducible. The system provisions self-hosted services (Caddy, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, Vector, Blocky, Miniflux, Linkding, etc.), identity management (Authentik, Zitadel), monitoring and alerting, backup (Borgbackup), and desktop environments (KDE, i3). The architecture is modular: reusable NixOS feature modules under `modules/nixos/features/` follow a consistent pattern using `mkFeatureOptions` for enabling services with standardized options (domain, firewall, monitoring integration). Secrets are managed via SOPS with age encryption, and disk partitioning is handled by Disko templates. The repository is not a software application but an infrastructure-as-code project that demonstrates high craftsmanship in Nix module design, with clear separation of concerns, helper functions, and integration patterns. It is actively maintained but shows some technical drift due to deprecated identity providers and hardcoded IPs.
dconf2nix is a CLI tool and Haskell library that converts GNOME dconf configuration files into Nix expressions for use with Home Manager's dconf.settings option. It parses the GVariant text format using Parsec combinators, supporting a wide range of dconf value types (booleans, integers, floats, strings, byte strings, tuples, lists, variants, dictionaries, typed values, and JSON). The parser is comprehensive and handles edge cases such as hexadecimal and octal integers, scientific notation, Unicode escapes, and nested structures. The rendered output uses Home Manager's lib.hm.gvariant constructor functions to produce valid Nix code. The architecture cleanly separates parsing (DConf module), data model (DConf.Data), and Nix rendering (Nix module), with a small CLI entry point. The codebase is well-tested with 20+ test cases covering various dconf input patterns and their expected Nix output.
