⚠ Advisory ⚠
DevOS leverages the flakes feature available via an experimental branch of nix. Until nix 3.0 is released, this project should be considered unstable, though quite usable as flakes have been maturing well for a while.
Introduction
DevOS grants a simple way to use, deploy and manage NixOS systems for personal and productive use. It does this by providing a convenient repository structure; integrating several popular projects like home-manager, and devshell.
Skip the indeterminate nature of other systems, and the perceived difficulty of Nix. It's easier than you think!
A lot will change toward 1.0.0#121 , so stayed tuned!
Getting Started
Check out the guide to get up and running.
Motivation
NixOS provides an amazing abstraction to manage our environment, but that new power can sometimes bring feelings of overwhelm and confusion. Having a turing complete programming language can add an unlimited potential for complexity if we do it wrong. Instead, we should have a community consensus on how to manage a NixOS system — consider this a first attempt.
The future is declarative! 🎉
Community Profiles
There are two branches from which to choose: core and community. The community branch builds on core and includes several ready-made profiles for discretionary use.
Every package and NixOS profile declared in community is uploaded to cachix, so everything provided is available without building anything. This is especially useful for the packages that are overridden from master, as without the cache, rebuilds are quite frequent.
