nix_modules

This is a repo of nixos modules, for now it'll just have the nordvpn module and move from there. I've just dumped things in the main dir but i'll break things out into sub directories when I have some downtime.

Nordvpn

How to use

• Create a file in your nix config folder called nordvpn.nix and paste the contents there
• In your configuration.nix add it to your imports

  imports =
    [ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
      ./hardware-configuration.nix
      ./nordvpn-module.nix
    ];

• In your configuration.nix file you will then need to add the following lines

  # NordVPN configuration
  custom.services.nordvpn.enable = true;
  users.groups.nordvpn.members = ["$YOUR_USERNAME"];

• Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch and it will install the package, then just login and start using!

Updating the package

I'll try and keep this up to date, but if you need to do it yourself on line 27 you'll need to change the version. You can find the latest version of the deb files here get the version number i.e. 4.1.2 and replace the version

Make the hash in line 34 an empty string "" and then do sudo nixos-rebuild switch it will fail due to the hash being in correct, paste the correct hash into the string and then re-run sudo nixos-rebuild switch and it should build

Troubleshooting

I'm still learning nixos language so my understanding of this is very low (I'm trying, lol) but I'll do my best effort to take a look at what I can.
