My personal machines config files

This repository contains declarative configurations for personal machines managed with NixOS flakes and Home Manager.
The setup is split into host-specific configurations, common reusable modules, and user-level home configurations.

Structure

• flake.nix — entry point, defines inputs (nixpkgs, home-manager, nixvim, etc.) and system/home outputs.
• hosts/ — machine-specific system configurations.
  • Nixbook/ — laptop setup (Apple hardware, Hyprland)
  • Nixstation/ — desktop workstation (NVIDIA, virtualization, btrfs scrub, firewall).
  • Nixtest/ — minimal VM environment for testing with QEMU.
  • common/ — shared modules (users, keyboard, network, gpus, etc.).
• home-manager/ — user environment configurations.
  • home.nix — main Home Manager entry for user packages and programs.
  • vim.nix, zsh.nix, gnome.nix, hyprland/ — modular desktop and tool configurations.
  • scripts/ — helper shell scripts (GPU monitor, RAM-disk builds, install helpers).

Usage

Build and switch system configuration

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>

Example for Nixbook:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#Nixbook

Build and switch home configuration

home-manager switch --flake .#thiago@<hostname>

Example for Nixstation:

home-manager switch --flake .#thiago@Nixstation

Installation

For new installs, use the provided install scripts:

• hosts/Nixbook/scripts/install.sh — remote installation with nixos-anywhere.
• hosts/Nixtest/scripts/install_test.sh — bootstraps a test VM with Alpine + QEMU.

Scripts

Some helper scripts are included:

• lsgpu.sh — monitor NVIDIA GPUs in terminal.
• nixstation-home-ram-build.sh — run home-manager builds in a RAM disk.
• Install scripts under each host as described above.

TODOs:

• Device identifiers (disk paths, GPU PCI IDs, monitor names) are currently hardcoded and may need modification on different hardware.
• Find a good secret management system/process
