T400 gets the generic lenovo-thinkpad + common-pc-laptop(-ssd) + common-cpu-intel blocks (no t400-specific profile exists); this also enables tlp and the tp_smapi/acpi_call battery tooling. Mac Pro 3,1 gets common-pc-ssd + common-cpu-intel. nixos-hardware follows our nixpkgs to keep a single nixpkgs in the closure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
nixfiles
NixOS / nix-darwin / home-manager configuration for all hosts, built from a single flake.
Hosts
Defined in the host table in flake.nix:
| Configuration | System | Machine |
|---|---|---|
lyrathorpe-mbp |
aarch64-linux |
MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon, Asahi) |
lyrathorpe-t400 |
x86_64-linux |
ThinkPad T400 — install notes |
lyrathorpe-macpro31 |
x86_64-linux |
Mac Pro 3,1, desktop — install notes |
emmathorpe-edaas |
x86_64-linux |
Work WSL box (NixOS-WSL) |
lyrathorpe-mac |
aarch64-darwin |
macOS (nix-darwin) |
Shared layers: lyrathorpe/home (home-manager: shell, git, editor),
system/modules/common-nixos.nix (all NixOS hosts), and
system/modules/laptop.nix (the physical laptops).
Applying
# NixOS
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<configuration>
# Darwin
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#lyrathorpe-mac
Shell environment & keybindings
- Interactive shell features (zsh, tmux, git, ssh, CLI tools, auto-tmux):
lyrathorpe/home/README.md. - All Sway / tmux / foot / zsh keyboard shortcuts:
lyrathorpe/home/KEYBINDINGS.md.
Login / greeter
Graphical (Sway) hosts log in through a Wayland greeter — greetd running
ReGreet inside the cage kiosk compositor — configured centrally in
lyrathorpe/swaywm.nix, gated on
features.swayDesktop.enable. The greeter is forced to Dvorak to match the
console and Sway session. Hosts with features.swayDesktop.enable = false (the
WSL work box) keep plain TTY login. The target account needs a password
(passwd <user>) before it can log in.
MacBook (Asahi) firmware
The MBP host references system/modules/firmware/ for Apple peripheral
firmware (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth). These blobs are committed (tracked) even though
.gitignore lists the directory: the flake is git+file, so it only sees
tracked files — untracking them breaks lyrathorpe-mbp evaluation (and the CI
host-eval) because the config can't find the firmware. They are not
redistributable; the repo is private.
To refresh them, copy the firmware extracted during the Asahi install (from
/etc/nixos/firmware, or re-extract per the
Asahi NixOS docs) into
system/modules/firmware/ and commit with git add -f.
Development
A dev shell and a formatting/lint gate are wired through the flake:
nix develop— shell withdeadnix,statix,treefmt, and the gitpre-commithooks (installed automatically on first entry).nix fmt— formats the tree viatreefmt(nixfmt + shfmt + prettier; generated files andflake.lockare excluded).nix flake check— runs formatting,deadnix,statix, the pre-commit hooks, and evaluates every host..editorconfigcarries the base style;statix.tomldisables the two house-style lints (repeated_keys,empty_pattern).
CI
.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml gates nixfmt
formatting and evaluates every NixOS and Darwin host configuration on push/PR.
