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

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!

We've started a #Fluxer community for #Nix, #NixOS and the wider ecosystem:

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 …

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 :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. 😩

Added instructions to the :nixos: #NixOS wiki how to set up the #AusweisApp for the German #Personalausweis on NixOS, for using the mobile app or a ReinerSCT USB card reader to scan the Personalauswe…

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.

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…

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…

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.

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…

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 😄

Weil es letztes Jahr beim #Tübix2025 so gut angekommen war, mache ich wohl beim #Tübix2026 sogar zwei :nixos: #NixOS workshops:
1. Workshop: Einstieg, Motivation, Killer Features, Basics
