Important

I USE NIXOS, BTW

What is this

This is my current dotfiles that I will use in the next few years or might be my last dotfiles repo, this repo is unified all of the tools i use, not only for NixOS, Android, WSL and Windows in limited sense, and maybe hopefully servers and Macs if i have money.

By combining both Chezmoi, NixOS, and Home-Manager, not only I benefit from NixOS/Home-Manager reproducability for my Linux/WSL/Android config, using Chezmoi allows me to use my dotfiles on setups that don't/can't use Nix like Windows or Random PCs/Servers that shouldn't be littered with Nix immutability.

File Structure

This is how I structure my nix-configs currently, it might will have few more diretories in the future.

the naming scheme is auto generated by Chezmoi, so don't be surprised.

on the front you will have:

Directory	Description
AppData	Windows equivalent of .config/ or .local I think
dot_config	Config files, for now it only have powershell
dot_distrobox-recipe	my recipe for distroboxes I might use, the command is long so having that is neat
dot_scripts	my scripts, it has bash and powershell, some of them are carry over from my old dotfiles
dot_torrents	we are a pirate!!
dot_node-red	node-red stuff for IoT
mutable-configs	configs that is mutable, not worth it to be carried to home directory since it will changed a lot, will be symlinked by the home-manager or other methods depend on what I need
dot_nix-configs	my actual NixOS configs
private_dot_secrets	well...encrypted files, configs, secrets
private_dot_ssh	obviously...my ssh key
Templates	templates of files...maybe not a lot that I added atm
Wallpapers	Waifu and car picture for Wallpapers

then when it comes to my actual .nix-configs, the directories looks like this.

Directory	Description
aliases	my aliases...also carried from my old dotfiles
configs	mostly my configuration files of packages, tried not to use nix for this so I can use it on non Nix systems
droids	configurations for Nix On Droid, NixOS but for Android (a Termux-based app)
home	my home-manager configs, tried to seperate from systems as much as possible
image	config for images for deploying NixOS to somewhere
linux	my systems configs for NixOS
machines	hardware-configuration.nix backup and also hardware tweak for any machines I use
modules	modules of nix configs, seperated by systems and home-manager ofc
theming	modules for my ricing, has Gnome, KDE Plasma 6, maybe Hyprland if I want a neckbeard
users	modules for users, if there's more than me, or if I need a user for specific machines
wsl	NixOS config on Windows Subsystem for Linux

This thing obviously can change overtime as this dotfiles grow, and I can forgot the directories.

Installation

Linux/NixOS

ofc, I will assumed you to have Nix or NixOS installed in your linux systems

run this command to get my dotfiles:

nix-shell -p chezmoi git --run "chezmoi init dhupee"

then you add my Age key to the home directory, if you don't know, rob me. After that you run:

chezmoi apply

This will decrypt encypted files, and send the directories to targeted place, then switch your NixOS and Home-Manager, in .nix-configs directory run this one by one:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nitro
home-manager switch --flake .#dhupee

that will rebuild the systems into nitro profile, and dhupee home-manager profile and that will bring every tooling and ricing I have on such profile.

if you want to use other profiles then go on, check the flake.nix

Windows

for this it's simple, just add my age key file to the home, then just chezmoi init dhupee then chezmoi apply.

then, you just install whatever software that you need, I prefer using Scoop for most of the packages or Winget if the packages need system integration.

Dotifles configs in for windows still simplistic compare to WSL/Linux, but it should be enough for now.
