Mitchell Hashimoto's personal NixOS system configurations, written in Nix. It documents a macOS host + NixOS VM development workflow and serves as a reference for declarative system setup.

Use cases

  • learn how to structure a NixOS configuration
  • set up NixOS in a VM on macOS for development
  • reference examples of declarative Linux system setup
  • see how an experienced developer organizes Nix modules
  • configure a shared-folder and networking setup between macOS host and Linux VM

When to choose

  • you want a real-world, well-maintained example of NixOS configuration to learn from
  • you run macOS and want a Linux dev environment in a VM
  • you know Nix basics and want patterns to copy into your own config

When to avoid

  • you want a turnkey, plug-and-play NixOS setup
  • you are a complete beginner expecting a tutorial
  • you need a supported, general-purpose configuration framework rather than one person's personal setup
