NixOS bootstrapper that sets up my development environment on top of dwm-enhanced.

Bootstrap

1. Use override/ directory for any local-only changes.

   The path must mirror the repository path exactly e.g.:

   • override/nixos/hosts/nimda/hardware-configuration.nix
   • override/nixos/hosts/nimda/configuration.nix
   • override/nixos/home/default.nix
   • override/.local/bin/remote-shell
   • override/.config/remote-shell/config.toml

   If a matching path exists under override/, Nix will use that path instead of the tracked file.

2. Put your system-specific hardware-configuration.nix at override/nixos/hosts/nimda/hardware-configuration.nix.

3. (optional) Review the patches in nixos/patches and modify or remove any you don't need (if you remove any, you may need to update dwmblocksPatch in nixos/modules/packages.nix).

4. Run the flake as a local path so ignored files in override/ are visible:

# The default hostname is "nimda".
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake "path:$PWD#${hostname}"

Development Shells

To access development environment shells (like lkdev) from anywhere on your system add this flake to your local registry.

1. Register nixconf:

nix registry add nixconf "path:$path_to_nixconf"

2. Launch a shell (run from any directory):

dsh $shell_name

Utility Scripts

Scripts under .local/bin that I use for my own workflow:

• aodev: Lets me choose a PipeWire output device from dmenu and sets it as default.
• cfreq: Watches and prints live CPU MHz values from /proc/cpuinfo.
• next-bg: Rotates to the next wallpaper in ~/.backgrounds.
• remote-shell: Syncs the current local project to a configured remote host and opens an SSH shell there.
• www: Opens a URL directly (if input looks like a domain) or searches DuckDuckGo via dmenu input.
• statusbar/*: Various scripts used for dwmblocks status modules.
