Dotfiles

Instructions

Clone the repository:

$ git clone git@git.sr.ht:~sirn/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

Install Nix:

$ sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

Configure nix, edit ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:

experimental-features = nix-command flakes

Setup home directory with Home Manager:

$ HM_PROFILE=$(hostname -s)
$ nix build --no-link .#homeConfigurations.$HM_PROFILE.activationPackage
$ $(nix path-info .#homeConfigurations.$HM_PROFILE.activationPackage)/activate

On subsequent updates, use:

$ home-manager switch --flake path:.#$HM_PROFILE

NixOS Module

This repository also provides a module to be used with Home Manager NixOS Module:

modules = [
  inputs.home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
  inputs.dotfiles.nixosModules.${hostname}
];

To test building locally, use:

$ HM_PROFILE=$(hostname -s)
$ nix build ".#homeConfigurations.$HM_PROFILE.activationPackage"

Configuration

Local Configuration

Create a file named local.nix to have a machine-specific configuration that is not committed a machine profile.

{
  import = [
    ./config/programs/bitwarden.nix
    ./config/services/languagetool.nix
  ];

  # When running on a non-NixOS
  targets.genericLinux.enable = true;
}

For NixOS, this needs to be done as part of NixOS configuration.nix:

{
  # ...

  home-manager.users.sirn = {
    imports = [
      "${dotfiles}/config/programs/bitwarden.nix"
      "${dotfiles}/config/programs/languagetool.nix"
    ];
  };
}

Application-specific Notes

Firefox

Application launchers are automatically generated for each Firefox profile defined in programs.firefox.profiles.

macOS: Proper .app bundles are created for each profile (e.g., "Firefox (main).app") and copied to ~/Applications/Home Manager Apps/. These appear in Spotlight, Dock, and LaunchServices. Raycast scripts are also generated as a secondary option (see Raycast section).

Linux: An XDG desktop entry named "Firefox (profile)" is automatically generated.

Raycast

Generated scripts are stored at ~/.local/libexec/raycast.

To use Raycast script commands:

1. Apply configuration: home-manager switch --flake .#$HM_PROFILE
2. Open Raycast Preferences (⌘ + ,)
3. Go to Extensions → Script Commands
4. Click "Add Directories" and add ~/.local/libexec/raycast
5. Search "Firefox" in Raycast to launch profiles
