chiasson-nix

My personal NixOS + Home Manager flake. flake.nix feeds ./modules through flake-parts and import-tree so config stays in small files instead of one monster module.

How to work on it: conventions.md.

Hosts

Host What it is
t2mbp Intel MacBook with T2 chip — Niri/DMS, t2linux + fan daemon
14900k Main x86 desktop — same GUI stack, also cross-builds aarch64 and exports NFS for Jellyfin
ideapad Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 (Chromebook, lenovo-wormdingler) — Mobile NixOS on Snapdragon, Niri/DMS, touch/tablet bits in _private/
uConsole Clockwork Pi uConsole (Pi 5 CM) — Niri/DMS, built with nixos-raspberrypi + oom-hardware
nix-server Headless x86 VM — Attic, Gitea, Immich, SwiftShare, Personal-Website, DDRM, Portainer, …
r5500 Headless media box — Jellyfin, *arr, qBittorrent, Dispatcharr; library on NFS from nix-server

Each machine: modules/hosts/<name>/default.nixnixosConfigurations.<name>, real config in *Configuration + optional _private/ and _services/.

Features at a glance

  • Users catalog — one catalog in modules/system/users.nix, pick who exists on a host with chiasson.users.enabled = [ "example" ], override per host. Home Manager wires itself from the same list.
  • SSH + Bitwarden (rbw) keys — one ed25519 keypair per catalog user, private key in Bitwarden, public key in modules/ssh/inventory.nix. Outbound SSH uses a .pub filter against the rbw agent; inbound authorized_keys are generated from the same inventory. Full wiring in conventions.md.
  • Wisdom modules — Home Manager slices in modules/wisdom/ auto-catalog via lib.wisdomCatalogExtraModules (defined in modules/desktop/options.nix). The baseline wisdom module handles git identity + shared tools; all other wisdom* exports are pulled in once per user through desktopHomeBasechiasson.users.extraModules.olivier. Hosts only flip chiasson.home.<category>.<slice>.enable — no manual imports in home.nix. Categories include apps (spotify, discord, localsend), browsers (chrome, edge, zen, …), editors (cursor, vscode, obsidian, …), shells (bash, fish, oh-my-posh, yazi), desktop (gtk-qt-theming, screenshot), and terminals (kitty). Trivial single-package slices can be written with the lib.wisdomSlice helper instead of repeating the root/cfg + mkIf boilerplate.
  • Wallpapers from a dedicated repomodules/desktop/wallpapers.nix pins inputs.wallpapers into the store and exposes it as CHIASSON_NIX_WALLPAPERS and /etc/wallpapers. Override chiasson.desktop.wallpapers.source if needed.
  • Private host data — import-tree skips _private/ globally, so machine-only files (firmware quirks, display configs, service tweaks) live next to the host module without leaking elsewhere.

Deploy / rebuild

Remote builds use the builder user (systemDeployBuilder, wired through client-services on desktops/laptops/tablets).

Fleet deploy is Navi — config in modules/deploy/navi.nix, outputs flake.navi / flake.naviHive.

nix develop          # devShell has navi + just + hints
just                  # list local helpers like `sync-dms`
navi apply --on <host>
navi apply-local --node 14900k --sudo   # this machine, if hostname matches
navi tui                  # interactive fleet dashboard

Plain rebuild still works: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>.

Repo layout

modules/
  hosts/<host>/     # per-machine composition
  system/           # nixosModules.system aggregate
  desktop/          # GUI stack (niri, hyprland, plasma, DMS)
  wisdom/           # HM modules (exports still named wisdom*)
  ssh/              # inbound NixOS + outbound HM
  deploy/           # navi hive
  patches/          # one-off patches (yt-dlp, t2fanrd, …)

Machine-only stuff lives in hosts/<host>/_private/ — import-tree skips _private/ globally, so those files only get pulled in where you import them.
