A general-purpose Nix starter configuration template that works on both macOS (via nix-darwin) and NixOS, using flakes and home-manager. It provides step-by-step installation instructions, literate Emacs configuration, and secret management with agenix.
Use cases
- set up a reproducible macOS development environment with Nix
- get started with NixOS using a beginner-friendly template
- manage dotfiles declaratively with home-manager and flakes
- manage secrets in Nix configuration with agenix
- use the same Nix configuration on Mac and Linux
- learn Nix flakes through a documented example config
When to choose
- you want a well-documented, step-by-step Nix starter for macOS or NixOS
- you need one declarative config spanning both macOS and NixOS machines
- you want dotfiles, Emacs, and secret management pre-wired with flakes and home-manager
When to avoid
- you need an enterprise-scale Nix deployment with CI-managed hosts
- you don't use Nix and just want simple dotfile symlinking
- you prefer a minimal config without Emacs or opinionated defaults
