❄️ nix

this repo contains... a lot. desktop configs, a homelab running a fully declarative *arr stack + jellyfin + home assistant + a dozen other things, three OCI cloud instances with the whole infrastructure managed via OpenTofu, custom NixOS qcow2 images built from the flake, and a bunch of custom modules. secrets via sops-nix, automatic per-host module loading via import-tree, impermanence on most machines, and stylix theming that covers pretty much everything.

homelab

enrai is my headless optiplex 5050 running a bunch of cool things, ~99% declarative. zsh, impermanence, secrets, all that good stuff:

• fully declarative *arr stack thanks to upidapi's declarr. (tho i use my own fork of it for some extra features)
• networking: caddy reverse proxy with cloudflare acme + nat port forwarding over wirguard to the vps running my nix-wg-proxy
• home assistant: yandex station max controlling wled and wled-album-sync
• proxmox-nix running 2 vms, one for game servers, other for amnezia vpn (the only not fully declarative part)
• zipline, wakapi, synthing, glance and more

cloud (OCI free tier)

three instances, all running NixOS via custom-built qcow2 images:

host	shape	specs	role
arashi	A1.Flex	4 core ARM, 24GB	general purpose
mizore	E2.1.Micro	1 core x86, 1GB	hosts null
proxy-1	E2.1.Micro	1 core x86, 1GB	forwards traffic to enrai via nix-wg-proxy

infrastructure is fully declarative via OpenTofu.

images are built with nix build from the flake and uploaded to OCI object storage:

# ARM (arashi)
nix build .#packages.aarch64-linux.a1-flex-image

# x86 (mizore, proxy-1)
nix build .#packages.x86_64-linux.e2-micro-image

applying configs to running instances:

nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#mizore --target-host root@mizore
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#arashi --target-host root@arashi

acknowledgments

• @joshuagrisham for his work on the galaxy book driver
• @itzderock for sharing their nix derivation for that driver (now irrelevant since it was merged upstream)
• @elyth, my config started as a fork of theirs flake
• hyprstellar for icons and general style inspiration
• and many more awesome people of the nix community. I have a lot of inline attribution comments added around the codebase
