series:My Development Workflow

In this post, we will just go over the basics of how we can configure our setup using a git repo, nix flakes and home-manager. I will go over how I structured my nix config. Not an in-depth tutorial Note this will not be an in-depth guide into NixOS/Home Manager itself. That could well be a series on its own. We will just go over the main ways I configure NixOS/Nix and why I do it the way I do. I recommend doing some reading and playing around and figuring out what works for you 😄 Introduction We will be using two different ways to configure our system, NixOS via a configuration.nix to configure the machine itself. Which includes partitions, backups, docker anything that needs to be run system-wide. Anything that needs “sudo” permissions is configured via this expression. Note we will of course split our nix expressions into smaller modules. That will be re-used between multiple hosts. ...

Following on from my previous post about dotfiles and my development workflow (WIP), in this post I will go over my operating system. Arch As the name implies I use Linux as my main operating system. I am a big fan of Linux because not only is free and open-source, it provides a great developer experience where I find tools that just work on Linux. It also is a lot more customisable as compared with Windows or MacOS. Finally, I tend to find it more lightweight as well and takes fewer resources to run especially if you are using Docker. ...
