# 🌙 nyxpkgs

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### NixOS/Home-manager (flakes)
|
||||
|
||||
It is as simple as adding a new entry to your inputs with the correct url.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# flake.nix
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
nyxpkgs.url = "github:notashelf/nyxpkgs";
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After adding the input, you can consume the [exposed packages](#packages) in your system configuration.
|
||||
An example `flake.nix` would be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# flake.nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
|
||||
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
|
||||
|
||||
nyxpkgs.url = "github:notashelf/nyxpkgs";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
outputs = inputs @ {self, nixpkgs, ...}: {
|
||||
# set up for NixOS
|
||||
nixosConfigurations.<yourHostName> = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
||||
specialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
|
||||
modules = [
|
||||
./configuration.nix
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
# or for Home Manager
|
||||
homeConfigurations.<yourHostName> = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
|
||||
extraSpecialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
|
||||
|
||||
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
|
||||
system = "x86_64-linux";
|
||||
config.allowUnfree = true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
modules = [
|
||||
./home.nix
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where you can then add the relevant package to your `environment.systemPackages` or `home.packages`
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{pkgs, inputs, ...}: {
|
||||
# in case of home-manager, this will be home.packages
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = [
|
||||
inputs.nyxpkgs.packages.${pkgs.system}.<packageName> # installs a package
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Nix
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Nix on a non-NixOS distro, you may `nix run` to try out packages, or `nix profile install` to
|
||||
install them on your system profile. If using home-manager on non-NixOS, I recommend using `home.packages` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
nix profile install github:notashelf/nyxpkgs#<package>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NixOS/Home-manager (no flakes)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not using flakes, the above instructions will not apply. You may obtain the source as a tarball to
|
||||
consume in your system configuration as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{pkgs, ...}: let
|
||||
nyxpkgs = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/notashelf/nyxpkgs/archive/main.tar.gz");
|
||||
in {
|
||||
# install packages
|
||||
# this can also be home.packages if you are using home-manager
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = [
|
||||
nyxpkgs.packages.${pkgs.hostPlatform.system}.<packageName>
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 Packages
|
||||
|
||||
There are several packages exposed by this flake. Each directory in `pkgs` contains a description of the package inside its README.
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Description |
|
||||
| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
|
||||
| ani-cli | An up-to-date, auto updated version of ani-cli |
|
||||
| cloneit | A CLI tool to download specific GitHub directories or files |
|
||||
| foot-transparent | A patched version of the foot terminal emulator that brings back fullscreen transparency[^1] |
|
||||
| rat | Linux shell port of the horizontally spinning rat meme, complete with soundtrack and spin counter. |
|
||||
| reposilite-bin | A derivation for the reposilite maven repository. |
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: Foot has broken fullscreen transparency on 1.15, which looks **really** ugly with padding. The author is dead set on not fixing it, because it's broken on one wayland compositor that a total of 7 people use.
