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

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…

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…

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...

The #NixOS Steering Committee election is over, can't wait to see the results

Oh my, could it be that #chezmoi ticks most boxes why I was starting with #NixOS in the first place? 🤔

Does someone have a working integration of #Nextcloud and #KDE on #nixos ?
I managed to add it as an Online Account but I don't have an option for calendars. Only for contacts and storage…

Waydroid in #nixos is getting nftables support 🎉 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455257

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

#Seafile has been removed in #NixOS 25.11 because "upstream only supports docker now", but I didn't want to migrate to docker. Good thing that NixOS 25.11 also introduces an #OpenCloud

Working on upgrading my :nixos: #NixOS to 25.11, one of the config evaluation errors is:
error: 'kbibtex' has been removed, as it is unmaintained upstream
#KBibTeX is unmaintained? Aha. This commit history with recent commits in the last days does not look like an unmaintained project:…

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

Just finished voting.
That took way more time than expected.

I've recently reimplemented hei - my #nix / #nixos command helper in go, which massively improved the auto-complete support. In 0.2.1 I've also added a nice --confirm feature to rebuild, which does a nvd diff against your current system before confirming to switch

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.

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.5.13-freepg

Does someone have a working #shairport setup with #pipewire that I could copy?

Tho... via Limine it doesn't seem to use UKI according to bootctl? How tf does it work then???
I imagine this is less safe than Lanzaboote then, since Lanzaboote makes measured UKIs, is it not possible to use UKI with Limine?
(terminal window is ssh to my NAS with lanzaboote, vscodium is my PC with Limine)

I've been mainly running NixOS, with my spin on Cosmic, for the last week. Had the automated system update this morning. That has been the biggest event happening so far.
This combo, based by me on the Nixbook project, is absolutely rocksolid.
Look for it @ codeberg / thesaigoneer / cosmix-saigon. Kudos to all involved!
And yes, that includes yours truly 😜

Yesterday I had to present some stuff to a pretty large group, around 40 people.
What better moment to install my KDE spin of the Nixbook project (codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/asterix-saigon) for a real life test?
I have only one issue with it.
It just keeps working 🤣
