🌙 nyxpkgs
My personal package overlay for sharing my most commonly used derivations.
Usage
NixOS/Home-manager (flakes)
It is as simple as adding a new entry to your inputs with the correct url.
# flake.nix
inputs = {
# ...
nyxpkgs.url = "github:notashelf/nyxpkgs";
# ...
};
After adding the input, you can consume the exposed packages in your system configuration.
An example flake.nix
would be as follows:
# 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
{pkgs, inputs, ...}: {
# in case of home-manager, this will be home.packages
environment.systemPackages = [
inputs.nyxpkgs.packages.${pkgs.system}.<packageName> # installs a package
];
}
Nix
If you are using Nix on a non-NixOS distro, you may nix run
to try out packages, or nix profile install
to
install them on your system profile. If using home-manager on non-NixOS, I recommend using home.packages
instead.
nix profile install github:notashelf/nyxpkgs#<package>
NixOS/Home-manager (no flakes)
If you are not using flakes, the above instructions will not apply. You may obtain the source as a tarball to consume in your system configuration as follows:
{pkgs, ...}: let
nyxpkgs = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/notashelf/nyxpkgs/archive/main.tar.gz");
in {
# install packages
# this can also be home.packages if you are using home-manager
environment.systemPackages = [
nyxpkgs.packages.${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 transparency1 |
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. |
🔧 Contributing
PRs are always welcome.

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. ↩︎
