Note

This page assumes that you have the basic idea or knowledge of Nix.

• To begin, the configuration follows a specific pattern called The Dendritic Pattern. The link already explains the Dendritic Pattern itself pretty well, so no need to talk about it here.
• To learn the modules that are used:
  • flake-parts official documentation: https://flake.parts/
  • import-tree by vic: https://github.com/denful/import-tree/ (documentation: https://import-tree.oeiuwq.com)
  • nix-wrapper-modules: https://nix-community.github.io/nix-wrapper-modules/
  • easy-hosts: https://github.com/tgirlcloud/easy-hosts
  • Fortunately, there's also a template for this (I use this every time): https://github.com/vimjoyer/flake-parts-wrapped-template.

Inputs worth knowing

These inputs in flake.nix shape most of the configuration:

• lumina: my own flake library and package source. Hosts import its signature modules and some packages, such as the GRUB theme.
• home-manager: runs as a NixOS module in each host.
• easy-hosts: registers the hosts.
• nixos-hardware: hardware profiles. Tanuki uses asus-fa506nc.
• nix-cachyos-kernel: the CachyOS kernel that Serpentine uses.
• dms, dank-greeter, danksearch and dgop: DankMaterialShell and its parts.
• noctalia: the Noctalia shell, which Konoe uses.
• quickshell: the Quickshell toolkit that these shells run on.
• mangowc: the mango compositor.

See flake.nix for the full list.
