Each `nixosConfiguration` / `darwinConfiguration` is assembled in `flake.nix`
from three layers: the shared `baseModules` (or `darwinBaseModules`), the
per-form-factor and `nixos-hardware` modules listed in the host table, and the
per-machine `hosts/<Name>/configuration.nix`. Home-manager is wired in as a
system module; each user's home is composed from the `homeModules` list in that
host's table entry.
## Module catalogue
Reusable NixOS modules under [`modules/`](./modules). "Imported by" says how a
module reaches a host: **baseModules** (every NixOS host, via `flake.nix`),
**host table** (listed explicitly per host in `flake.nix`), or **transitively**
(pulled in by another module's `imports`).
| Module | Imported by | What it does / when to use it |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `common-nixos.nix` | baseModules (all NixOS) | Timezone/locale, store hygiene (auto-optimise, big download buffer, **no** auto-GC), the nix-community binary cache, `nix-ld`, base CLI (`git`, `fastfetch`), and the fleet-wide font stack. |
| `users.nix` | baseModules (all NixOS) | Builds `users.users` from the registry for the host's `hostUsers`; enables zsh; enables Firefox + Thunderbird **only** when `features.swayDesktop.enable` is on. Applies per-user `linger`. |
| `features.nix` | baseModules (all NixOS) | Declares feature-flag options (currently `features.swayDesktop.enable`) so any host can read/set them without importing the heavy implementation module. |
| `workstation.nix` | transitively (via laptop/desktop) | Form-factor-agnostic base for physical graphical hosts: turns on `swayDesktop`, Dvorak console, PipeWire, firewall (default-deny), fstrim, earlyoom, fwupd, thermald (x86), redistributable fw. |
| `laptop.nix` | host table (MBP, T400) | `imports` workstation.nix, then adds the portable bits: iwd Wi-Fi, lid suspend/lock, Bluetooth + blueman. |
| `desktop.nix` | host table (Mac Pro) | `imports` workstation.nix, then swaps Wi-Fi for wired NetworkManager. Pair with `portable = false` in the host table. |
| `sway.nix` | host table (graphical hosts) | Implementation of `features.swayDesktop`: the system Sway package, the greetd/ReGreet (cage) greeter forced to Dvorak, xdg-portal, Wayland utility packages. Home-side Sway config is in `home/sway.nix`. |
| `ssh.nix` | host table (T400, Mac Pro, RPi5) | Enables sshd, opens port 22, enforces a key-only policy (no password / keyboard-interactive, no root). Authorized keys come from the registry via `users.nix`. |
| `firmware/` | referenced by MBP host config | Committed Apple peripheral firmware blobs for the Asahi MBP (see "MacBook (Asahi) firmware"). |
Form-factor decision: a **laptop** imports `laptop.nix` (default
`portable = true`); a **wired desktop** imports `desktop.nix` and sets
`portable = false`; a **headless server** imports neither (leaves
`features.swayDesktop.enable` at its default `false`) and adds only what it
serves. `portable` is threaded through to `home/sway.nix`, which drops the
battery block and brightness keys on desktops.

## Directory authentication (SSSD → Authentik LDAP)
Every NixOS host authenticates users against the Authentik LDAP outpost via
SSSD, implemented in [`modules/sssd.nix`](./modules/sssd.nix) and enabled by
default through the `services.authentikLdap.enable` option (added to
`baseModules`). The **EDaaS** WSL box opts out
(`services.authentikLdap.enable = false`) as a work-managed environment; the
macOS host is unaffected (SSSD is Linux-only).
- Connects over LDAPS to `ldap.lyrapup.pet:636`, search base
`dc=ldap,dc=goauthentik,dc=io`, binding as
`cn=sssd-bind,ou=users,dc=ldap,dc=goauthentik,dc=io`.
- The schema mappings match Authentik's non-standard object classes
(`goauthentik.io/ldap/user`, `goauthentik.io/ldap/group`) over the POSIX
attributes (`uid`, `uidNumber`, `gidNumber`, `homeDirectory`).
- Home directories are created on first login (`pam_mkhomedir`).
### Secrets (agenix)
The LDAP bind credential is an [agenix](https://github.com/ryantm/agenix)
secret, decrypted at activation with each host's SSH host key. The decrypted
plaintext is a full `sssd.conf` drop-in delivered to
`/etc/sssd/conf.d/01-ldap-authtok.conf`, so the password never enters the Nix
store. Owner setup (host recipient keys, encrypting the bind password, DNS for
`ldap.lyrapup.pet`, rebuild) is documented in
[`secrets/README.md`](./secrets/README.md).

On a host whose `networking.hostName` matches its flake attribute (the WSL box
and the Pi are set up this way), `nh os switch` resolves the configuration from
the hostname with no `--flake`/`-H` flag.
## Adding a new host
1. **Create `hosts/<Name>/`.** Add `configuration.nix` with the host-specific
bits only: `networking.hostName`, bootloader (firmware-specific — it is
deliberately not set in the shared modules), and any per-machine hardware
quirks. Keep anything reusable in `modules/` instead.
2. **Hardware config.** Generate `hardware-configuration.nix` on the real
machine with `nixos-generate-config` and commit it. If the machine does not
exist yet, commit a clearly-labelled placeholder so the host still evaluates
in CI (see the existing T400 / RPi5 placeholders), and replace it at install.
These files are excluded from the formatter and linters.
3. **Add a host-table entry in `flake.nix`.** Under `hosts` (NixOS) or
`darwinHosts` (macOS), set `system`, the `modules` list (host config + form
factor + any `nixos-hardware` profiles), and the `users` map (each user's
`homeModules`). Choose the form factor per the decision note above; a headless
host imports neither `laptop.nix` nor `desktop.nix`.
4. **Users.** If the host introduces a new person, add them to
`users/registry.nix` first; otherwise reference an existing username.
5. **Verify.** `nix flake check` formats, lints, and evaluates every host —
including the new one — so a broken entry fails locally before CI. Then
`sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<configuration>` on the machine.
No change to CI is needed: the host-eval step discovers hosts from the flake
(`attrNames` of the configuration sets), so a new entry is picked up
automatically.

# macOS (nix-darwin) — `lyrathorpe-mac`
Flake host: `lyrathorpe-mac` (`aarch64-darwin`). Apple Silicon Mac managed by
**nix-darwin** from this same flake. Built via `mkDarwinHost` (single-user —
macOS owns the account; identity still comes from the registry). Files:
`configuration.nix`.
## What this host is
A macOS workstation. The interactive user environment (shell, git, editor,
Claude) is the **shared `../../home` bundle** — the same modules the Linux hosts
use — so the terminal experience matches. The Linux-only `desktop.nix`/`sway.nix`
are intentionally left out. This host config covers the macOS-specific layer:
system packages, Homebrew, and macOS UI defaults.
## Package sourcing
- **nixpkgs** (`environment.systemPackages`) for CLI tooling and libraries.
- **Homebrew**, owned declaratively by `nix-homebrew` (Rosetta enabled for
x86_64 formulae). The `brews`/`casks` lists are **authoritative**:
`onActivation.cleanup = "zap"` uninstalls anything not declared. GUI apps are
casks (nixpkgs darwin GUI support is unreliable); a few version-pinned
toolchains and the PWA host stay on brew for continuity.
- **Mac App Store** apps are **not** declarative: nix-darwin 26.05 runs
activation as root, and `mas` cannot reach the App Store session from root.
Install them by hand with `mas install <id>` from a GUI Terminal (the `mas`
CLI is in `environment.systemPackages`).
## macOS integration
- `security.pam.services.sudo_local`**Touch ID for sudo** (and
`darwin-rebuild`'s sudo prompt), kept in `sudo_local` so it survives OS
updates. `reattach` pulls in `pam_reattach` so Touch ID works inside tmux
(which the terminals auto-start).
- `system.defaults` — declarative dock / finder / global / trackpad preferences,
applied on activation and reversible. This is the main reason to run nix-darwin
beyond package management.
- The JetBrainsMono Nerd Font is installed to `/Library/Fonts`; set it in
iTerm2 (Settings → Profiles → Text → Font) so the tmux statusline glyphs
render.

`system.stateVersion = 5` (the nix-darwin state version, an integer — not a
NixOS release string). Read `darwin-rebuild changelog` before changing it.

# Work WSL box — `emmathorpe-edaas`
Flake host: `emmathorpe-edaas` (`x86_64-linux`). NixOS running under
**NixOS-WSL** on the corporate Windows machine. Headless: no Sway desktop
(`features.swayDesktop.enable = false`), plain WSL shell login. Files:
`configuration.nix`.
## What this host is
The day-to-day work environment. It layers the corporate Kubernetes / Helm /
Terraform / cloud toolchain and a couple of work-only editor language servers on
top of the shared home profile. The system config here is thin — it is mostly
WSL plumbing; the user-facing tooling lives in
[`../../users/emmathorpe/work.nix`](../../users/emmathorpe/work.nix).
## WSL specifics
- `wsl.enable`, default user `emmathorpe`, Windows PATH interop and start-menu
launchers on. `/etc/hosts` generation is off (`generateHosts = false`).
- **Docker Desktop integration**, not the native daemon as the primary path:
`wsl.extraBin` shims the coreutils/`groupadd`/`usermod` binaries Docker
Desktop's `wsl-distro-proxy` expects, and `docker-desktop-proxy.script` is
patched to the real proxy path. The native `virtualisation.docker` is also
enabled (with `enableOnBoot` + `autoPrune`).
- `programs.ssh.systemd-ssh-proxy.enable = false` — the NixOS-WSL store is a
read-only VHD owned by `nobody`, and OpenSSH rejects the generated
`ssh-proxy` Include as "Bad owner or permissions", which would break ssh/git
for every command. The vsock proxy it provides is unused under WSL.
- `networking.hostName = "emmathorpe-edaas"` matches the flake attribute so
`nh os switch` resolves without `-H`.
## Renovate review timer
The host-table entry sets `users.emmathorpe.linger = true` so the user's
`systemd --user` instance stays alive without an open login session. That keeps
the daily headless **Renovate PR review** timer firing — defined in
[`../../users/emmathorpe/renovate-review.nix`](../../users/emmathorpe/renovate-review.nix)
(imported only from `work.nix`, so it exists on this machine alone). See that
file's header for the auth (Vertex AI ADC), triage policy, and caveats.
## stateVersion
`system.stateVersion = "24.11"` — the release this box was first installed on.
Leave it; it freezes stateful defaults and is not meant to track the current
nixpkgs.

# Secrets (agenix)
Encrypted secrets for the fleet, managed with [agenix](https://github.com/ryantm/agenix).
Each secret is an age-encrypted file (`*.age`) encrypted to a set of recipient
public keys declared in [`secrets.nix`](./secrets.nix). A host decrypts its
secrets at activation using its SSH **host** key
(`/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key`), so every host that must read a secret has to
be listed as a recipient for it.
`secrets.nix` is read only by the `agenix` CLI. It is never imported into the
NixOS evaluation.
## Secrets in this repo
| File | Purpose | Recipients |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `ldap-bind.age` | SSSD → Authentik LDAP bind credential, as an `sssd.conf` drop-in snippet | all SSSD-enabled hosts (not EDaaS) |
Consumed by [`modules/sssd.nix`](../modules/sssd.nix) via
`age.secrets.ldap-bind.path`, which places the decrypted snippet at
`/etc/sssd/conf.d/01-ldap-authtok.conf`.
> **`ldap-bind.age` is not committed yet.** Only `ldap-bind.age.PLACEHOLDER`
> ships in this change (real host recipient keys and the real password were not
> available when it was written). Follow the steps below to create the real
> secret, then delete the `.PLACEHOLDER`.
## Owner setup checklist
Run these once (per new host or when the bind password rotates):
### 1. Collect host recipient keys
On each SSSD-enabled host (all Linux hosts **except** EDaaS):
```sh
cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
```
Paste each value into the matching placeholder in `secrets.nix`, replacing the
`AAAA_PLACEHOLDER_REPLACE_ME_*` strings. (Optionally uncomment and set `admin`
to an operator user key so the secret can be edited off-host.)
### 2. Encrypt the bind password
The plaintext must be a **full sssd.conf drop-in snippet**, because SSSD cannot
read `ldap_default_authtok` from a separate file — it only merges `conf.d/*.conf`.
The content is exactly:
```ini
[domain/default]
ldap_default_authtok = <the sssd-bind service-account password>
```
Use the password of the `sssd-bind` (Terraform: `sssd-bind`) Authentik LDAP
service account. Then, from the repo root:
```sh
# Requires the agenix CLI: `nix run github:ryantm/agenix -- -e secrets/ldap-bind.age`
cd secrets
agenix -e ldap-bind.age
```
An `$EDITOR` opens; paste the two-line snippet above, save, quit. agenix writes
the encrypted `ldap-bind.age`. Commit it and delete `ldap-bind.age.PLACEHOLDER`.
### 3. Rekey after changing recipients
If you add/remove hosts in `secrets.nix`, re-encrypt every secret to the new
recipient set:

### 4. DNS
`ldap.lyrapup.pet` must resolve to the Authentik LDAP outpost and serve LDAPS on
port 636 with a certificate the hosts trust (`ldap_tls_reqcert = demand`). If the
cert is not from a system-trusted CA, add it to the hosts' trust store
(`security.pki.certificateFiles`) or relax `ldap_tls_reqcert` in
`modules/sssd.nix`.
### 5. Rebuild
```sh
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>
```
Verify with `getent passwd <ldap-user>` and `id <ldap-user>`.

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER, NOT A REAL AGE SECRET.
The real secrets/ldap-bind.age is produced by the repo owner with `agenix -e`
(see secrets/README.md) and is a binary age-encrypted blob. It is intentionally
NOT committed here because:
* the real host age recipients are not available to the author of this change
(they are each host's /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub), and
* fabricating an encrypted blob or fake host keys would be misleading.
Committing this file as `ldap-bind.age` would let modules/sssd.nix reference
`../secrets/ldap-bind.age` and evaluate, but SSSD would fail to decrypt it at
runtime. Do ONE of the following before deploying:
1. Preferred: generate the real secret (secrets/README.md), commit it as
secrets/ldap-bind.age, and delete this .PLACEHOLDER file.
The decrypted plaintext must be a valid sssd.conf drop-in (NOT the bare
password):
[domain/default]
ldap_default_authtok = <the sssd-bind service-account password>
