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!

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 …

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

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…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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

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