|
||
<p>Digga — slangy German for "good friend" — is a flake utility library
|
||
that helps you declaratively craft and manage all three layers of your system
|
||
environment within a single <a href="https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes">nix flakes</a> repository:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>development shells (via <a href="https://github.com/numtide/devshell"><code>numtide/devshell</code></a>),</li>
|
||
<li>home environments (via <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager"><code>nix-community/home-manager</code></a>), and</li>
|
||
<li>host configurations (via <a href="https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs"><code>NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos</code></a>).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>This library is based on <a href="https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus">flake-utils-plus</a>.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="status-beta"><a class="header" href="#status-beta">Status: Beta</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Although this project has already matured quite a bit, a fair amount of api polishing is still
|
||
expected. There are unstable versions (0.<em>x</em>.<em>x</em>) to help users keep track
|
||
of changes and progress.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="usage"><a class="header" href="#usage">Usage</a></h1>
|
||
<p>The best way to make use of library is with the <a href="./examples/devos">Official template</a>.
|
||
Check out the <a href="https://digga.divnix.com/start">guide</a> to get up and running.
|
||
Also have a look at devos's <a href="./examples/devos/flake.nix"><em>flake.nix</em></a>.
|
||
If anything is not immediately discoverable via "[<code>digga</code>][digga]'s [<code>mkFlake</code>][mk-flake], please file a bug report.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="examples"><a class="header" href="#examples">Examples</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Make sure to check out all the <a href="./examples">examples</a> to see the different ways
|
||
to make use of the digga api.</p>

|
||
<h1 id="philosophy"><a class="header" href="#philosophy">Philosophy</a></h1>
|
||
<p>In it's <code>lib.mkFlake</code> function, <em>Digga</em> implements a well-specified API
|
||
interface comprising four API containers that allow you to:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>configure <strong>nixpkgs channels</strong> including internal and external overlays,</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>define <strong>NixOS hosts</strong> including internal and external NixOS modules as well as
|
||
host defaults that apply to all hosts in the environment,</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>specify <strong>user home environments</strong> including internal and external home-manager
|
||
modules, and</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>setup & combine a series of <strong>devshells</strong> that you like to have available in
|
||
your projects.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<h2 id="modules-profiles--suites"><a class="header" href="#modules-profiles--suites">Modules, Profiles & Suites</a></h2>
|
||
<p>For NixOS- & home-manager-modules, <em>Digga</em> allows you to distinguish between
|
||
<em>modules</em>, <em>profiles</em> and <em>suites</em>.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Modules</strong> are abstract configurations that, while holding the implementation, do not
|
||
set any system state.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Profiles</strong> are concrete configurations that set system state within the profile domain.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Suites</strong> are a composable, clean and discoverable mechanism for profile aggregation.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="internal-art-vs-external-art"><a class="header" href="#internal-art-vs-external-art">Internal Art vs External Art</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Overlays and modules can be defined internally coming from your repo or externally
|
||
coming from an upstream flake. This distinction serves the library to only export
|
||
your own work as the public flake output.</p>
|
||
<p>Downstream consumers of your flake can now more easily tell your art apart from
|
||
other upstream art.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="contributing"><a class="header" href="#contributing">Contributing</a></h1>
|
||
<p>We encourage contributions of any kind. The simplest way to get involved is to
|
||
join the <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#devos:matrix.org">chat</a> or report problems and ideas on the <a href="https://github.com/divnix/digga/issues">issue thread</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>To craft well thought out APIs we need all the thoughts regarding new ideas.</p>
|
||
<p>Pull Requests are just as amazing.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="why-flakes"><a class="header" href="#why-flakes">Why <em>flakes</em>?</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Flakes are a part of an explicit push to improve <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/doc/manual/src/contributing/cli-guideline.md">Nix's UX</a>, and have become an integral part of that effort. </p>
|
||
<p>They also make <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/expressions/expression-syntax.html">Nix expressions</a> easier to distribute and reuse with convient <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/nix/flake.md#flake-references">flake references</a> for building or using packages, modules, and whole systems.</p>

|

<p>The divnix org is an open space that spontaneously formed out of "the Nix".
|
||
It is really just a place where otherwise unrelated people work
|
||
together and get stuff done.</p>
|
||
<p>It's a place to stop "geeking out in isolation" (or within company boundaries).
|
||
A place to experiment, learn together, and iterate quickly on best practices.
|
||
That's what it is.</p>
|
||
<p>It might eventually become a non-profit if that's not too complicated or, if those
|
||
goals are sufficiently upstreamed into "the Nix", dissolved.</p>
