This is where user-specific configurations comes in. Similar to modules, the top-level of this directory contains users for various profiles (e.g., home-manager, NixOS).

As such, files put in here are only a part of the total sum of configuration (whether it is a home-manager configuration or a NixOS system). It shouldnt fully configure their respective system and should be put as a host configuration otherwise.

Users shouldnt also have their own set of modules similar to this projects own modules. They should be imported as a profile or hardcoded in the user config.

Take note of the following structure:

users/
├── home-manager/
│   ├── foo-dogsquared/
│   ├── harepoint/
│   └── polski/
├── nixos/
│   ├── foo-dogsquared/
│   ├── harepoint/
│   └── vmguest/
└── README.adoc

This folder is to be expected to be imported through lib.filesToAttr from the ../lib/default.nix.

There are conventions for setting in each user type.

  • For NixOS user configuration, it is expect to only have one user with their respective user-specific configuration. This includes user-specific packages, home-manager-specific configuration [1], and so forth. If you want to set users from the host, see Host-specific configurations for more details.

  • home-manager users are just home-manager configurations (i.e., $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix/home.nix). Take note that it is assumed that my own home-manager modules are imported.


1. Though, it is encouraged to put it as a separate home-manager user configuration if its big enough.
