NixHypr2

My little slice of hell. Structured questionably and like garbage.

Utilising preservation and BTRFS rollback for impermanence with Hjem over Home Manager. I make use of a few tools, and copy from the smart people mentioned below. I'll try to add something special but, this is just my home setup while I learn nix and more about linux. I won't be doing anything server related, I'm happy and in love with Proxmox and Docker. Making a lot of progress, other than some preserved and security things, should be reproducible.

Mirrors

codeberg mirror Forgejo mirror Github mirror


To-Do list1

  • Cleaner directory structure
  • Move to individual package lists rather than a united one.
  • Move dots and keys to declarative configs and secrets.
  • Look into Hjem-Rum modules
  • clean up log and readme
  • Optimise - Ambitious
  • Mirror to Codeberg and Forgejo.2
  • Setup Circus-CI on homelab to compile/cache binaries and pull latest git commits
  • Document with NDG and/or Hugo and remove comments from nix files. Steal from eConnah

Incomplete Features1

  • Fix yazi githead, needs middle cap
  • Yazi with matugen? - Possibly not possible
  • add liquid glass theming 3
  • Matugen with transparent toggle in NVF. Cannot get colorscheme to preserve.4

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE:

Useful Resources and Tools:

  1. Will include Submodules/repo's like NVF here ↩ ↩2

  2. Selfhosted forgejo instance WIP, eyeing brewery. ↩

  3. Hyprglass needs work after refactors, potentially change to native theming? or learn C++... ↩

  4. Awesome config linked that helped to get all bars to match colours (except for icons) but has hardcoded transparency. Need a solution to toggle background (Normal?) to a choice colour (or even make opacity 80%). Solution using custom noctalia template ↩
