# Introduction
|
||||
A NixOS configuration template using the experimental [flakes][rfc] mechanism.
|
||||
Its aim is to provide a generic repository which neatly separates concerns
|
||||
and allows one to get up and running with NixOS faster than ever.

and allows one to get up and running with NixOS faster than ever. In addition,
|
||||
conveniences like [home-manager][home-manager] and [NUR][nur] are wired in by
|
||||
default to help make life easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Flakes are still an experimental feature, but once they finally get merged
|
||||
even more will become possible, i.e. [nixops](https://nixos.org/nixops)

### NUR usage
|
||||
|
||||
You can use packages, modules and overlays from the
|
||||
[Nix User Repository][nur].
|
||||
|
||||
For modules and overlays, you can pull them in via the new top-level arguements
|
||||
`nurModules` and `nurOverlays`, respectively:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ nurModules, nurOverlays, pkgs, ... }:
|
||||
{
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
imports = [ nurModules."${nur-username}.modules.${aModule}" ];
|
||||
nixpkgs.overlays = [ nurOverlays."${nur-username}".overlays."${anOverlay}" ];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Packages are installable the same way as without flakes via
|
||||
`pkgs.nur."${nur-username}"."${aPackage}"`.

# Structure
|

The structure is here to keep things simple and clean. Anything sufficiently
