NixOS manual improvements #75003
Comments
As discussed with @aanderse on IRC, the httpd submodule probably isn't a good candidate anymore, as a lot of the boilerplate has been removed. The abstractions section could however showcase composing multiple declarative nixos containers with similar configuration. |
ping @infinisil in case he has some ideas ❤️ |
Hm, I don't actually know of any example where I had to abstract like that in my config. Seems like most NixOS modules already do a pretty good job at being non-repetitive. So idea: How about removing that section, and instead writing a section on abstractions in Nix in general? The abstractions presented there aren't module system specific anyways. |
That's a reasonable idea too. Would you imagine that new section to be in the NixOS manual as well, or the Nix manual? |
Probably in the Nix manual, it would fit nicely inbetween 15.3 and 15.4 |
It would be nice if someone could rewrite the abstractions section of the NixOS manual to use something other than
services.httpd
for examples. See #73113 for the primary motivation I have on this.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
