🌙 nyxpkgs

My personal package overlay for sharing my most commonly used derivations.

📦 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
headscale-ui A web frontend for the headscale Tailscale-compatible coordination server

Usage

Binary Cache

Regardless of your setup,you may want to add the binary cache to your substituters to avoid building the provided packages on each pull. You may follow the example below to add the binary cache to your system.

nix.settings = {
    builders-use-substitutes = true;
    substituters = [
        # other substituters
        "https://nyx.cachix.org"
    ];

    trusted-public-keys = [
        # other trusted keys
        "nyx.cachix.org-1:xH6G0MO9PrpeGe7mHBtj1WbNzmnXr7jId2mCiq6hipE="
    ];
};

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";

    # ↓ add nyxpkgs as a flake input
    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>
  ];
}

PRs are always welcome.

  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. ↩︎
