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.nix → nixosConfigurations.<name>, real config in *Configuration + optional _private/ and _services/.
Deploy / rebuild
Remote builds use the builder user (systemDeployBuilder, wired through client-services on desktops).
Fleet deploy is Navi — config in modules/deploy/navi.nix, outputs flake.navi / flake.naviHive.
nix develop # devShell has navi + hints
navi apply --on <host>
navi apply-local --node 14900k --sudo # this machine, if hostname matches
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
wisdom/ # HM modules (exports still named wisdom*)
ssh/ # inbound NixOS + outbound HM
deploy/ # navi hive
lib/ # pure helpers → flake.lib
Machine-only stuff lives in hosts/<host>/_private/ — import-tree skips _private/ globally, so those files only get pulled in where you import them.
