# Hosts
|
|
|
|
Nix flakes contain an output called `nixosConfigurations` declaring an
|
|
attribute set of valid NixOS systems. To create hosts, you can use the
|
|
`nixos.hosts` argument and pass `modules` to each host. Host-specific modules
|
|
typically go in the `hosts` folder of the template.
|
|
|
|
Each host should follow a certain channel to define the `pkgs` of that host.
|
|
You can use the `nixos.hostDefaults` to set defaults and global modules for all
|
|
hosts.
|
|
|
|
For each host, the configuration automatically sets the `networking.hostName`
|
|
attribute to the name of the host. This is for convenience, since `nixos-rebuild`
|
|
automatically searches for a configuration matching the current systems hostname
|
|
if one is not specified explicitly.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that the host modules only contain configuration information
|
|
specific to a particular piece of hardware. Anything reusable across machines
|
|
is best saved for [profile modules](./profiles.md).
|
|
|
|
This is a good place to import sets of profiles, called [suites](./suites.md),
|
|
that you intend to use on your machine.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can pass modules from [nixos-hardware][nixos-hardware] in the
|
|
`modules` argument for relevant hosts.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
hosts/librem.nix:
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ suites, hardware, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
imports = suites.laptop ++ [ hardware.purism-librem-13v3 ];
|
|
|
|
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
|
|
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
|
|
|
|
fileSystems."/" = { device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos"; };
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
flake.nix
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
nixos.hosts.librem = {
|
|
system = "aarch64-linux";
|
|
modules = ./hosts/librem.nix;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
