It's not guaranteed to be good as xref:../../05-using-parts-of-my-configuration/index.adoc#using-my-config-with-flakes[Using my config with flakes] but it's an option.
Anyhow, there is a section for using my configuration with channels as shown in xref:../../05-using-parts-of-my-configuration/index.adoc#using-my-config-with-channels[Using my config with channels].
However, you have to keep some limitations and guidelines in mind.
* It exports an attribute based from the github:nix-community/NUR/[NUR template].

Several exports includes...
* My custom library at `lib`.
* Custom NixOS modules at `modules`.
* Custom home-manager modules at `hmModules`.
* An overlay of my custom packages at `overlays.foo-dogsquared-pkgs`.
* My packages as the rest of the top-level attributes from the attrset.
--
* Keep in mind it doesn't export the NixOS hosts and home-manager user configurations.
It would be pointless as it is duplicating effort plus **I really like managing my NixOS config more with the flakes way** compared to setting up channels.
It has a lot of advantages such as the ease of provisioning and updating your setups along with its dependencies, enforcing certain values in a certain attribute that can be seen in the revised Nix CLI, and nicer interface overall.
While possible with channels, this is just better experience overall and I have no interest in maintaining setups in both ways.
