Disowned all my #AUR packages and deleted my account. I'm not interested in #ArchLinux anymore. :nixos: #NixOS gives me so much more.

The end of civilization is upon us.
I will master the skill of using flakes on NixOS today.
#nixos

I've (temporarily?) stopped daily driving #NixOS on my desktop as of last month and it's actually quite a relieve not thinking "I should update this package" or "I should fix this issue" whenever I just use my computer. Still my go-to OS for servers though!

Got some time to spare.
One install, one git clone, two file copies and one rebuild and that whole system, with all my applications. tweaks and settings, was rebuilt in exactly 31 minutes. The power of reproducibilty.
I'll grab a beer and head out to that bench.

Today I managed to set up a #copyparty instance as a frontend for a remote sftp mount, reverse proxied with #nginx for TLS encryption, on :nixos: #NixOS. Oh boy was that a wild ride. 😮‍💨
Copyparty itself …

Home server root disk died a few days ago. (Important stuff is on #ZFS & mirrored, but ZFS on root for Linux has been a bad experience) I'm trying #NixOS this time, mostly so if it dies again, I can rebuild quickly.
It reminds me of `rc.conf` on

The :nixos: #NixOS module option services.borgbackup.jobs.repo should definitely take multiple target repos. It's already pretty annoying to stop a service during backup, but using multiple borgbackup.jobs to back up to another remote for example is a nightmare. 😩

I'm updating that Asterix-Saigon config (my Nixbook respin for KDE) bcs I just noticed the fresh-editor is of course available in nixpkgs. The breadth of my madness is astounding.

The joys of running #proprietaryGarbage expecting an FHS environment and whatever other shenanigans on :nixos: #NixOS...
If anyone has any idea how to get the CEWE Fotobuch software to behave on NixOS, be my guest:

Getting CEWE Fotobuch to launch
I am struggling hard to get CEWE Fotobuch (a proprietary software to layout and order printed photo albums) to run on NixOS. Yes, it’s “proprietary garbage” as Tony would put it, please no discussions whether it’s good to use it or not. 🙂 It can be downloaded from this landing page, or the tarball directly from here. Apparently, there is only this one tarball link, which always points to the latest version, there are no stable links to old versions as confirmed in this thr...

Thoughts on keeping parts (assets *and* #nix code) of your public :nixos: #NixOS config private?
https://dis…

Public, reusable flake with private parts
I am looking for a way to have a public flake that is reusable as inputs in other flakes, but some parts of the flake are private. I think this is a very common thing, people sharing their config, but don’t want to share their secrets of course or some network settings. If those private parts are just plain files, then agenix or sops can be used, encrypted versions of those secrets are published (still kinda meh, but okay). The problem arises if some nix code should be concealed as well. Her…

Okay weird. simple-scan (the simple #Linux scanning app) kept crashing with 'buffer overflow detected'. I tried other versions as far back as from #NixOS 23.11 (nix run github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11#simple-scan), which successfully launched and still detected the scanner. Surprisingly, after a su…

I want to be ready for that Cosmic launch. And I got triggered by some toots. So I put cosmix-saigon back on the work laptop. Based on the nixbook project (thnks @… !) and nixos unstable (yep, living on the edge again). Solid. And ready!

Has anyone ever gotten `services.webdav` to work on :nixos: #NixOS?
I have a very simple and probably very common task: Expose a directory (in my case `/var/lib/paperless/consume`) via #WebDAV so my scanner can upload their PDFs there. I'm pretty much doing this¹ here, but also this person has p…

Webdav - cannot write anything
I got it to work by allowing create (C) and update (U) permissions (permissions = "RCUD"): services.webdav = { enable = true; user = "paperless"; group = "paperless"; settings = { address = "0.0.0.0"; port = 12345; auth = true; scope = "/var/lib/paperless/cons…

Something on my #NixOS is starting `ssh-agent -s` (PID1) and it drives me mad because I can't find what it is. I use programs.ssh.startAgent=true, which sets the SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent, which I want. In the dumb tty (CTRL ALT F2) I get that value. Interactively in XFCE I get SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/.ssh/agent/*bla*, which I don't want. Gnome keyring is disabled, that gcr ssh thing…

Reinstated Obelix Saigon yesterday. Whereas Asterix is the 'skinny immutable' Nixbook config, with flatpaks layered on top, Obelix is the 'fat' one, with a fully featured configuration.nix. No flakes, no flatpaks, just plain nix pkgs. Works brilliantly. The laptop will go encrypted VoidLinux. Can't go wrong with that either.
#nixos

My boss came to me and said his #Manjaro killed itself (again). So I dared to pitch :nixos: #NixOS to him. He was *very* intrigued by the configuration file approach and all the utilities from my flakes that he'd be able to use instantly. Let's see if we'll have another NixOS user soon 😄

With Aurorix up and running (OCI container with KDE) it's time to start Asterix up also. That's my 'immutable', auto-updating Nix. Although less 'confined' than Aurorix it should be basically the same for the enduser. Looking forward to the comparison.
