A set of simple, documented Nix flake templates for getting started with NixOS and home-manager. It provides minimal and standard boilerplate configurations including custom packages, overlays, and modules.

Use cases

  • set up a NixOS configuration with flakes for the first time
  • migrate my existing dotfiles to home-manager flakes
  • learn good practices for structuring a nix flake config
  • bootstrap a nix config with custom packages and overlays
  • use home-manager on a non-NixOS Linux distro or macOS
  • find a starting template for declarative NixOS setup

When to choose

  • you are new to NixOS, flakes, or home-manager and want documented boilerplate
  • you want a minimal or standard template with overlays and custom packages ready to go
  • you want a CC0-licensed base you can freely copy into your own config repo

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained config guaranteed up to date with the latest NixOS changes - the repo may drift out of date
  • you already have a mature, complex flake setup with your own module structure
  • you are looking for a full dotfiles collection rather than a starter template
