# 🌙 nyxexprs
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 |
| :--------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| alejandra-no-ads | A patched version of the **Alejandra** Nix formatter, without the pesky ads and spacing patches |
| 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] |
| headscale-ui | A web frontend for the headscale Tailscale-compatible coordination server |
| mastodon-bird-ui | Mastodon web UI, but strongly inspired by Twitter. |
| mov-cli | A cli tool to browse and watch Movies/Shows/TV/Sports |
## Usage
### Binary Cache
Regardless of your setup,you may want to add the
[binary cache](https://app.cachix.org/cache/nyx) 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
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.
```nix
# flake.nix
inputs = {
# ...
nyxexprs.url = "github:notashelf/nyxexprs";
# ...
};
```
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";
# ↓ add nyxexprs as a flake input
nyxexprs.url = "github:notashelf/nyxexprs";
};
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.nyxexprs.packages.${pkgs.system}.<packageName> # installs a package
];
}
```
### Nix
If you are using Nix on a non-NixOS distro, you may `nix run` to try out
packages, or `nix profile install` to install them on your system profile. If
using home-manager on non-NixOS, I recommend using `home.packages` instead.
```console
nix profile install github:notashelf/nyxexprs#<package>
```
### NixOS/Home-manager (no flakes)
If you are not using flakes, the above instructions will not apply. You may
obtain the source as a tarball to consume in your system configuration as
follows:
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: let
nyxexprs = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/notashelf/nyxexprs/archive/main.tar.gz");
in {
# install packages
# this can also be home.packages if you are using home-manager
environment.systemPackages = [
nyxexprs.packages.${pkgs.hostPlatform.system}.<packageName>
];
}
```

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.
