SMPL (pronounced SiMPLe) is a NixOS configuration template deriving from own personal configuration, which aims to be as organized as possible while not forcing users to abstract everything from the get-go.
This template is not the EXACT same as my configuration for accessibility reasons.
What this template provides is a general structure to get you started on configuring NixOS with flakes.
in the docs/ folder, you can find guides on the following (not in any particular order):
-
- How to migrate your existing NixOS setup without flakes, to this template. (Or how to generate a configuration, if you are doing this in the installer. Preferably, dont do that though. You might run into this issue.)
-
- What to edit and change during the migration.
-
- The various ways you can organize this configuration after the setup.
-
- Centralization (If this repo ever becomes popular, that is.)
-
- A stress-free home-manager setup.
-
- The passing of inputs and other necessary attributes to the relevant files.

If it says "
/nix/store/lkjsxjnsjdkgljkasjg-somestupidhashhere/somefile.nixnot found" then you can either rungit add .or you can just delete the.gitfolder with (assuming you're inside the directory where you put your config)rm -r .git. I recommend the latter if you don't know what you're doing withgit.
