`hostname -f` could fail depending on the resolver. Discard any stderr
and test for the exit status before using the value for flake attribute
lookup.
I was unable to repro the exact bad exit status in #5665.
With
- nscd disabled,
- nsswitch.conf pointing to 'files',
- hostname entry removed from /etc/hosts
`hostname -f` from inetutils-2.5 fell back to showing just the nodename
from `uname(2)`. Injecting an empty string into the
`(struct utsname).nodename` field of `uname(2)` using strace still
exited with empty output and 0 exit-status.

The `pkgs.gnome.gnome-terminal` package was moved to
`pkgs.gnome-terminal`. The former is now a deprecated alias that
throws a warning whenever a configuration enabling the module is used:
```

‘pkgs.gnome-terminal’ directly.

By default, the system value for $NIX_PATH is kept as a fallback.
To completely override the system value for $NIX_PATH:
nix.keepOldNixPath = false;
* nix: add more tests
* nix: add a declarative alternative to Nix channels
This adds a new option, 'nix.channels'. It's the Nix channels equivalent
of the 'nix.registry' option, and compatible with pre-Flake Nix tooling
including nix-env and nix-shell. Like 'nix.registry', this option is
useful for pinning Nix channels.
Channels defined in the new option can coexist with channels introduced
through the nix-channel command. If the same channel exists in both, the
one from Home Manager will be prioritized.

Some prefer to handle modules-* imperatively for more flexibility, e.g.,
via waybar "includes" (https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration).
Current HM defaults modules-* to `[]` instead of null for most other
settings, so they get written to ~/.config/waybar/config even though
no explicit configuration has been made.
And they take precedence over the imperative ones because of how
waybar's includes work:
====
Paths to additional configuration files.
Each file can contain a single object with any of the bar configuration options. In case of duplicate options, the first defined value takes precedence, i.e. including file -> first included file -> etc. Nested includes are permitted, but make sure to avoid circular imports.
For a multi-bar config, the include directive affects only current bar configuration object.
====
After migrating to nixos-render-docs, the extension move to .xtml.
Unfortunately, this broke links to the previous Options Page.
This patch provides a basic redirect support to the new Options Page.
To avoid this kind of message:
swayidle[181123]: - [Line 1054] Unable to connect to the compositor. If your compositor is running, check or set the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable.
MacOS doesn't support the long-style `--fqdn` option to `hostname` that
was added by 1b589257f7.
Switch to short style `-f` that should be supported on every platform.
The 24.05 update for KDE Connect moved the kdeconnectd binary from
`/libexec` to `/bin`, so this fix will check the version of the
package used and set the path accordingly.
Since nixpkgs commit 993baa587c4b82e791686f6ce711bcd4ee8ef933,
`networking.hostName` is not allowed to be a FQDN.
Add `hostname --fqdn` to the default flake attribute names that are
searched.
If
netorking.hostname = "hostname";
networking.domain = "example.com";
is set in the system NixOS configuration, this allows defining
homeConfigurations."username@hostname.example.com" = ...
and still use
home-manager switch --flake .
instead of having to type out
home-manager switch --flake .#$(whoami)@$(hostname --fqdn)
`splitString "" "some string"` would throw exception `error: invalid
regular expression` on Darwin (or accurately, on Nix built against
libc++). Refer to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7208 for
details.
Before Nix handles that issue correctly, we should refrain from using
`splitString ""`, and luckliy `lib.stringAsChars` can do the same thing.

This enables a module system feature documented here:
https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/index.html#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-class
For example, it allows a mistake to be caught, which is loading a
NixOS module into home-manager. This only works when the offending
module declares what it's for with a `_class` attribute.
It is not expected that users declare the `_type`, because the payoff
is small. It is only expected to be set by generic code, such as
functions or libraries that help with the "publishing" of modules
(e.g. flake-parts, flake-utils).
The class feature has been available in the module system since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/197547, merged May 6, 2023. It
has been part of all releases since 23.05-beta. The last NixOS release
that did _not_ support it has been end-of-life for close to a year
now.
Example:
(lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
modules = [{ _class = "nixos"; imports = [ ./foo.nix ]; }];
}).activation-script
Corresponding error:
error: The module <unknown-file> was imported into homeManager instead of nixos.
(`<unknown-file>` can be improved by also setting `_file`, if known; a
much older feature)

To configure zsh's autosuggest "highlight style" we use ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE but it's currently set to AUTOSUGGESTION_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR (via autosuggestion.highlight). This change was apparently made back in 2016 or earlier.
This PR fixes two issues that cause rebuild to fail, see #5222.
The first was caused when sync.target and sync.interval were not set,
this was fixed by changing the default values from null to "undefined"
and filtering these out later.
The second error occurred when the .config/joplin-desktop directory
didn't exist (e.g. when installing Joplin for the first time) which
caused the touch command to fail. This was fixed using mkdir to ensure
that .config/joplin-desktop exists.
The PR #5299[0] actually adds the requirement on "tray.target" for the

Nixpkgs has recently made a few major changes to its
xdg-desktop-portal package, which silently breaks our module here:
- The NIXOS_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_CONFIG_DIR variable patch has been
removed (in favor of putting portal configurations in /etc or
XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
- A new variable, NIX_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR, was introduced in a
patch to avoid setting XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR (which also affected
portal configuration reading, not only portal definitions)
I updated our module to match the changes, but this breakage also made
me revisit this module and look into some improvements.
Long story short, I think it's worth it to make it more similar to the
NixOS one, as it will make behavior more predictable and consistent.
The main change is relying on the upstream linked systemd
unit (instead of using systemd.user.services), and setting the
environment variables globally instead of scoping it to the unit, as
it's a very global thing anyway.
The systemd.time documentation defines the shorthands `daily` and
`minutely` which are currently not included in the nix-gc module.
This commit adds the `daily` option, but omits `minutely` since it's not
a timescale that would make sense to run a gc for.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.time.html
The documentation for the option says...
> If you want a default binding to be passed through to the website,
> bind it to null.
but if you actually try to set a key to `null`, it causes an error.
> A definition for option
> `programs.qutebrowser.keyBindings."<Ctrl+Shift+Tab>".normal' is not
> of type `strings concatenated with " ;; "'.
So this commit implements unbinding as it is documented.
The beets package no longer has the "enableCheck" option so this was
confusing. Also the word override was used to mean two different
things so I modified the FAQ to use the word "change" and linked to
documentation regarding package overrides.

In Nix 2.3, all GC roots must be stored under `/nix/var/nix/gcroots`,

In most cases where this function is used, suppressing only the standard
output is more appropriate. Culling diagnostic output hides error
messages and makes debugging more difficult and confusing.
`$DRY_RUN_NULL`, which the `--silence` flag replaced, was used both for
suppressing standard output on its own, and for doing so along with
diagnostic output; however, when the `run` function was added this
distinction was lost, and both outputs would be discarded.
This reintroduces the needed functionality, and changes usages of
`--silence` to `--quiet` where previously only standard output was
suppressed, or where this should have probably been the case anyway.

When a non-directory, such as a file or a dead symlink, already exists,
mkdir -p fails with "cannot create directory ‘...’: File exists".
This is a problem when, for example, a symlink points to a directory on

This commit changes the way aliases are rendered, adding the "no more
flags" flag `--`, which means that, for example, the alias `"-" = "cd
-";` will work as expected. (I was getting a syntax error before this
change.)
Additionally, now the alias key is shell escaped, which may help some
edge cases. I'm honestly not sure if this part is necessary since I
assume an alias can't contain spaces anyway, but it definitely
shouldn't break anything.

workspace 10 is part of upstream's default config, but was missing in home-manager.
The initial "sway: add module" PR (02d6040003) went through multiple iterations and had workspace 10 included for a brief moment.
Until the author removed it in a force-push commenting
> Have removed the last change which added bound ${modifer}+0 to workspace number 10 as this messed up workspace numbering in sway.
The reason might have been, that sway used to sort the workspaces in the order they appeared in the config.
Attribute sets in nix are sorted, but not "naturally sorted", meaning `bindsym Mod1+0 workspace number 10` comes before `bindsym Mod1+0 workspace number 1`.
It's unclear if that's what really happened. A workaround would have been to use `lib.lists.naturalSort` in `keybindingsStr`.
But I cannot reproduce this anymore in any way.
I assume this has been fixed many years ago by now.
upstream config: 020a572ed6/config.in (L113-L134)

This ensures that `KITTY_SHELL_INTEGRATION` is manually set to the
user's `shellIntegration.mode`. This is necessary because sometimes
the variable is not set in subshells or splits.
`shellIntegration.mode` is also now ensured to always contain `no-rc`.
Since the module system doesn't allow specifying order on types.lines
users can't specify anything to run after what modules have put into
shellInitInteractive since it runs last. This implements a fourth field
that runs after all others, not to be used by HM modules, but regular
users.

firefox: add support for specifying policies (#4626)
This adds a Boolean option `uninstall`. When enabled this option will
reset side-effecting configurations to their "empty" state. The intent
is that this will cause the activation script to remove all managed
files and packages.
Doing it this way should hopefully be more robust than the previous
solution. It also allows a somewhat more convenient uninstall process
when using Flakes; put `uninstall = true` in your existing
configuration and then do a switch.
Also add simple uninstall test in CI test job.
The identity's signature will be configured according to signature.text
and signature.showSignature. Signature commands are not supported by
Thunderbird.

Minor fix in documentation. The example in
`programs.zsh.prezto.pmoduleDirs` is not compatible with shell
environment variables like `$HOME`, must be replaced with nix
compatible variables eg: `home.homeDirectory`.

Osmscout-server includes a setting in its UI to create a systemd user
service and socket to run the server on demand. This does not function
correctly on NixOS, for two reasons:
1. It assumes that the binary path is stable (e.g.
/usr/bin/osmscout-server), which is not the case on NixOS.
2. It auto-detects the unwrapped binary path, which doesn't work.
This module allows the user to access the same functionality on NixOS.
Having the module enabled but never using gh will result in the config file
existing but no hosts.yml. In that scenario we won't have anything to
migrate, so only test for hosts.yml.
The service was never marked with a failed state with the previous
approach, which could lead broken synchronisation pair states to go
undetected.
The module now uses a timer instead of unlimited restarts, which does
not have this issue.

Introduces a new program called gradle for managing files stored in
the home directory by the [Gradle Build Tool](https://gradle.org).
Gradle uses the $HOME/.gradle folder for all it's configuration.
Features of the new program module are:
- Automatically setting programs.java.enable = true to make a Java
installation available for running Gradle.
- Specifying an alternate Gradle home directory
- Setting of abitrary values for gradle.properties stored inside the
Gradle home directory.
- Defining init scripts that will be linked into the init.d inside
the Gradle home directory.

Resolves#4729
This resolves the long-standing deprecation warning by migrating the
documentation to using the nixos-render-docs tool. As part of this,
the documentation markup language is migrated to Markdown.
See pull-request #4673 for more.
The `nixos-render-docs` tool outputs XHTML formatted content. In
order to convince browsers like `firefox` to treat the data as XHTML
the extension must be `.xhtml` and not `.html`.
Using the XHTML-formatted content as HTML is mainly an issue with
self-closing `<a />` tags.
`document-highlighter` now outputs a `<code>` block inside the
pre-formatted `<pre>` tag. This changes the required CSS for
rendering code snippets. Moreover, this commit uses the highlightjs
as provided by the `document-highlighter` package instead of the
version packaged in `nmd`.
The `man home-configuration.nix` is configured to left
align the text similar to `man configuration.nix`. This
commit updates the `man home-manager` page to be consitent
with the two manpages mentioned above.
This commit removes the `home-manager-render-docs` package in favor
of upstream `nixos-render-docs` where the manpage generator has been
updated to take a `--header` and a `--footer` flag specifying static
content around the content derived from the options.json file.
This commit extracts the htmlOpenTool from `nmd` into a module
in the home-manager docs directory. This is done to provide feature
parity with the documentation generated using the docbook .xml files.
The `optionsDocBook` function is deprecated in nixpkgs since
nixos-23.11. This commit updates the manual and manpages to
use commonmark formatted documentation instead of the deprecated
docbook format.
Previously, users cannot enable boolean flags like `--show-all` in bat's
config since all options were expected to be either a string, or a list
of strings. With this commit boolean flags are simply appended to the
end of the config if they are set to `true`, and discarded otherwise.
For example, the config
{
theme = "TwoDark";
show-all = true;
lessopen = false;
}
would produce a config file that looks like
--theme='TwoDark'
--show-all

Occasionally, swayidle crashes with a failure to connect to the

When a user references config.programs.firefox.package in her/his
configuration, s·he will get a different path than what is in the
$PATH variable. To make it possible to get the same path, this commit
introduces the finalPackage read-only option.
Due to the defaults in `systemd.user.settings`, the default value when
there are no settings explicitly set is `{ Manager = { }; }`. This
means an empty file is created even when `systemd.user.settings` is
never used in home-manager configuration. Since user’s `user.conf` is
preferred to the global `/etc/systemd/user.conf`, this can cause any
values set in the latter to be discarded.
The `systemd.user.extraConfig` provides a way to generate a
`systemd-user.conf(5)` file for the user.
This is the home-manager equivalent of NixOS’s option of the same
name, with the difference that NixOS’s option generates a `user.conf`
file that is shared between all users.

The configuration file format of borgmatic has changed in version
1.8.0:
https://projects.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic/src/branch/main/NEWS
This commit makes Home Manager generate borgmatic's configuration file
using the new format.
Even though the NEWS file indicates that old configuration files are
compatible, this is not 100% the case: empty sections work fine in old
borgmatic but stop working in new ones. I've reported the bug upstream
by email as I couldn't create an account on the forge.
Specifically, allow variable expansion for the key codes by switching
from single to double quotes.
This also adds a helpful suggestion to descriptions. Taken from the
project's README, see
4abed97b6e/README.md?plain=1#L71-L74)
Allows users to customize which environment variables to import in DBus
and SystemD user environments, and to specify which commands will be run
after the environment activation.
The way the `bat` module is currently written makes it essentially
impossible to use themes and syntaxes without IFD, since you must
provide the contents as string, instead of just giving a path to be
linked.
With this change, setting themes/syntaxes by-string will start issuing
warnings, and a new attribute model is added, lightly inspired by how
`programs.zsh.plugins` avoided this issue.
For some reason, Firefox completely discards the ADD_DATE and
LAST_MODIFIED attributes if they are set to 0. This has been
confirmed by exporting a sample set of bookmarks generated by
Nix using home-manager and comparing it to the same sample of
bookmarks set manually and then exported.
Missing these attributes can cause problems for extensions and
other tools that try to read bookmarks. A known example is the
Tridactyl extension.

Make the `finalPackage` option public, but still read-only. The final
package option is quite useful for users.
For example, to integrate `lazy.nvim` with Nix there are three things
that must be done:
1. `lazy.nvim` resets packpath, which should be managed by Nix; it has
to be turned off with `performance.reset_packpath = false` option in
`lazy.nvim`
2. Same thing applies to rtp, the relevant option is
`performance.rtp.reset = false`
3. `dev.path` must be specified as the folder that contains the plugins.
This folder is the path to Nix store path with Neovim plugins, and
the plugins that are managed by Nix must be marked as `dev = true`
The third condition can not be fulfilled without this PR, as the final
package that Home Manager produces is not exposed, therefore it is
impossible to extract the Nix store path. This PR makes it more
accessible via

PR #4368
An IFD was introduced in bdb5bcad01 from
reading the top-level directories of the `home.pointerCursor.package`
at instantiation time.
This commit removes the IFD introduced when linking icon directories
by linking only the icon directory matching `home.pointerCursor.name`
in `home.pointerCursor.package`. This should be functionally
equivalent to linking all top-level directories of the supplied icon
package as the module only generates cursor configurations pertaining
to the cursor identified by `home.pointerCursor.name`. Deviations in
behavior caused by additional files linked in $HOME/.icons as of the
status quo should be treated as impurities.
The current cursor configuration poorly accomodate applications not
following the XDG icon theme spec. As a result, some applications fail
to locate user defined icons and themes.
To address this, symlinks from icon directories in the provided cursor
package was to $HOME/.icons were added added for greater compatibility
with applications using hardcoded icons directories. This approach was
chosen to allow for coexistence of declarative and non-declarative
icon files in the icons directory. In addition, symlinks of icon
directories were mirrored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/.icons for backwards
compatibility. As per the XDG icon theme spec, applications are to
search in $HOME/.icons first for icons and themes so the existing
behavior should not break for XDG compliant applications[1].

Remove xwayland.hidpi option, since we're dropping HiDPI XWayland
patches support, opting to use the builtin xwayland:force_zero_scaling
option instead. It is described in more detail in
https://wiki.hyprland.org/ Configuring/XWayland.
Don't try to validate a limited set of hardcoded options, instead just
convert them as-is. Now, users can keep all their options in a single
attribute set, including arbitrary `user_{option}`s which was impossible
to express with a hard-coded submodule. As a plus, there is also less
maintainence burden.
While the locale options were declared, the weren't used in the
generation of the config file, because the locale submodule missed a
default, which failed the tests. I added an empty attribute set as a
default, which fixes the test, and works with the defaults in the
submodule options as expected.

The NixOS variant of Markdown doesn't make a distinction between
`<code>` and `<literal>` or `<quote>` and... quotes, and doesn't
support `<parameter>` or `<replaceable>`. These are infrequently used
(apart from `<code>`) and don't add much, so just convert them to
simpler forms to allow the options containing them to be converted
to Markdown automatically.
A few minor syntactic adjustments were also made to make
`nix-doc-munge`'s job easier.
The Markdown options processor cannot handle rendering tables
to DocBook. This could be fixed, but as we won't be using the
DocBook output for long I just removed them for now in the interest
of expediency; they were all well-suited to being description lists
showing option types anyway, apart from one awkward case in the form
of trayer, which also had ad-hoc syntax for enumerating acceptable
values in the documentation. Since the types aren't actually used for
option processing anyway, I changed them to use `enum` and similar to
give a single description of the acceptable values without a big table.
`nix-doc-munge` can't handle these, which is understandable as I can
barely handle them either. There are a few infelicities here: the
current processor can't handle multiple terms to one description in
a description list so they get comma-separated in one case, and one
case that should ideally render as a `<figure>` with a `<figcaption>`
in HTML is reduced to a paragraph with some `<strong>` text. (Which, in
fairness, is how it rendered in practice with the DocBook anyway.) The
docs generator has since been updated to handle figures, but we can't
use it until moving off DocBook output.
These files all have options that trip up the `nix-doc-munge`
conversion tool for one reason or another (syntax that clashes with
Markdown, options that were already using Markdown syntax despite not
being marked that way, output that differs slightly after conversion,
syntax too elaborate to convert with some cheap regular expressions,
...). Translate them manually and do a little copyediting to options
in the vicinity while we're at it.
Output is mostly unchanged aside from some minor typographical and
formatting changes, along with better source links.
We temporarily export `options.docBookForMigration` to allow
`nix-doc-munge` to check its conversions.

This removes the hard-coded fallback Home Manager paths. Specifically
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/nixpkgs/home-manager
and
"$HOME/.nixpkgs/home-manager"
Use `@HOME_MANAGER_PATH@` if it has been provided and points to
something that exists. Warn the user if it does not point to
something.
If we have not been provided with a `@HOME_MANAGER_PATH@` that exists,
then for both hard-coded paths show a warning if something exists
where the paths are pointing.
This no longer attempts to use either of the hard-coded paths as
fallback for the Home Manager path.
Prior to this change, it was impossible to nest attrsets in
accounts.email.accounts.<name>.imapnotify.extraConfig. However,
goimapnotify's configuration is JSON-based, and the recommended
configuration has:
```
"tlsOptions": {
"rejectUnauthorized": true
},
```
This change changes the type from an attrset of str/int/bool to the
JSON type provided by nixpkg's `pkgs.formats.json`.
Previously, lines in .zshrc were added with quotes in keys
(e.g. ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES['comment']='fg=#6c6c6c'). However, zsh
considered these quotes to be part of the key, so the "comment" key
remained unchanged.

* aerc: fix per-account extraConfig section names
The aerc configuration file `aerc.conf` can contain 10 different
sections, but only the UI section supports what the aerc manual calls
contextual configuration. This works by appending to the section heading
either `:account=name` or `:folder=bar`.
The aerc-accounts module, however, applied `mkAccountConfig` to each
section heading declared in
`config.accounts.email.accounts.<name>.aerc.extraConfig.*`. This means
home-manager will generate files with `[general:account=default]` and
the options will not be recognized by aerc.
To address this, and since it doesn't make sense for other sections to
only be under a single account's scope, an assertion has been added
to confirm that only sectons that support contextual config (i.e.,
only the UI section) is declared.
This also addresses confusions like declaring
`accounts.email.accounts.*.aerc.extraConfig.general.unsafe-accounts-conf
= true` and triggering a warning message because
`programs.aerc.extraConfig.general.unsafe-accounts-conf` was unset.
This commit also updated documentation throughout the aerc modules to
be in line with this change, and fixed minor typos/formatting therein.

* aerc: make assertion plaintext and add test case
This commit adds a test case to check both the warning on unset
`unsafe-accounts-conf = true` when aerc accounts are configured
with Nix, and the new assertion when per-account configuration
contains unsupported subsections (i.e. general).
It also fixes minor formatting issues and typos.
As pointed out in #3291, using the XDG symlink means the agent/unit
files don’t change when the contents of the config changes, and so the
service will not be restarted.
Nushell has the option to source from the login.nu file in the case
that nushell is used as a login shell. This commit adds the login file
alongside the existing config and env files as another configuration
option.
Previously, IMAP was preferred over notmuch, even if notmuch was
configured, causing problems with setting account flavor (which
automatically sets IMAP settings). The new backend order is:
notmuch > IMAP > maildir
This also fixes the notmuch DB path being set to the wrong location.
The notmuch DB is located at the maildir base path, not in each
account's maildir.
Unison supports the same option to be given several times as a command
line argument (e.g. unison -path xxx -path yyy).
This commit adds Home Manager support for this by allowing a list of
strings to be given to services.unison.pairs.<name>.commandOptions values.

* imapnotify: expose package (and exe) options
There are multiple packages that provide an imapnotify interface. Those
packages have differently named executables. This can now be customized.
This change also means test configurations can use stub packages.
* imapnotify: use/create config in configHome
Exposing the configuration file makes testing imapnotify configurations much
easier. It also allows for golden tests in home-manager.
* imapnotify: extend with launchd agent
Now that home-manager supports launchd agents, the imapnotify service
can be configured (and enabled) for darwin. The configuration matches
that of the linux/systemd version. In particular, by not setting a
`UserName`, this runs as the user whose configuration includes the
module.
Due to the launchd `Program` implementation (it must take an absolute
path) it is not possible to use that for the program and stub the path
in tests. Instead, this uses `ProgramArguments` for the program name.
The `ThrottleInterval` is equivalent to `RestartSec`. `KeepAlive` is
equivalent to `Restart`.
The `ExitTimeOut` default is 20 seconds, but goimapnotify should not
time out — this is achieved by setting the `ExitTimeout` to 0.
* imapnotify: add launchd plist test
This only tests the generated plist (which is new), not the original
systemd implementation, nor the json config file.
(Note the lack of a newline at the end of the plist file.)
This will reduce the system closure size by about 200MB under NixOS by
sharing the glibcLocales package.
When home-manager is installed on Linux without the NixOS module, all
glibc locales are installed, as before.
Resolves: #2333
Nix interprets a path-like URI as a git repository if any of the path's
parents is a git repository. Since home-manager uses a default flake URI
of ~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix, if you have a git repository as your
home directory and a '*' .gitignore it leads to the following problems:
evaluating derivation 'git+file:///Users/dongcarl?dir=.config%2fnixpkgs#homeConfigurations."dongcarl".activationPackage'
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
.config
This is solved by explicitly specifying the `path:` URI type prefix for
the default flake URI argument.
This removes the Nix Pills reference, because they are not a good
introduction to the Nix ecosystem, but rather a thorough explanation
of many disparate things. Reading through them might give some light
bulb moments for an intermediate reader, but that does not mean that
they're good for a beginner.
I've also removed the mention of infinite recursion without source
location. That's an old meme for a problem that has been mostly
solved. Mentioning it here has two effects:
- Propagate the outdated meme.
- Make users insensitive to bad errors. Learned helplessness. That
kind of thing. What we really want is for them to report bad error
messages, so that they can be fixed. And they can be fixed; just
report them at `NixOS/nix`.
The current `lla` alias, together with the `total-size` option try to get
the size of the `..` directory, and for this has to recursively open all
sibling folders. This may be super slow if some of those siblings
contain too many files, and raise a ton of useless errors if some of
those siblings contains non-readable files.
I'm suggesting to use `-A` instead, which will skip the obvious `.` and
`..` folders.
While here, I think we could also add `llt`.
* format: improve argument handling
For now, fail if the user tries to format a specific file/directory,
or runs the formatter from within a subdirectory.
Handling these situations is slightly tricky because `find -path` is
not very flexible.
* flake: add formatter
This allows running the formatter with `nix fmt`, added in Nix 2.8.
* format: use git ls-files
This is cleaner than `find` and allows us to restrict formatting to
particular files or subdirectories.
We can't test for the whole contents of the config file because that is
out of our control and may change unexpectedly. Only check for the
settings we know should be set.

Many of the terminals supported inside emacs work perfectly fine with STARSHIP.
The TERM=dumb case already handles the tramp and eterm cases, so as far as I can
tell, this is basically just a check for the benefit of OLD versions of
term-mode (see
emacswiki.org/emacs/AnsiTerm#:~:text=Historically%2C%20'M%2Dx%20ansi%2Dterm,the%20older%20'C%2Dc'%20binding.,
which indicates that it also now handles colors).
PR #3747 renamed the option wayland.windowManager.sway.systemdIntegration
to wayland.windowManager.sway.systemd.enable.
This commit simply updates documentation to reference the new format.
Starship has an advanced, experimental feature where fancy stuff in the
prompt can be replaced with something more simple after the command is
ran. This is very helpful for copy and pasting shell history somewhere
else.
docs: https://starship.rs/advanced-config/#transientprompt-and-transientrightprompt-in-fish
Fish is currently the only shell as far as I can tell that both
home-manager and starship support for this feature. Since the function
has to be called after starship is loaded, this seems like the best
place to put it.
format
In 176e455 the order between the action of `-I` parameters getting
added to `EXTRA_NIX_PATH` and the action of a static path getting
added to `EXTRA_NIX_PATH` was reversed, also reversing the order of
`-I` parameters and the static `-I home-manager=...` leading to the
static `-I home-manager=...` to always come before any of the `-I`
parameters to later calls to Nix commands.
This made it impossible to override the static Home Manager path when
calling the home-manager tool with `-I home-manager=...`. This was
previously possible.
* qt: always apply qt.style.package
Before this commit this was only being applied if `qt.platformName` was
set to "gnome". With this change we will always apply the package.
* qt: only set ~/config/Trolltech.conf in GTK or GNOME
* qt: add qtstyleplugin-kvantum-qt4 and qt6Packages.qtstyleplugin-kvantum
qt: add qtstyleplugin-kvantum-qt4
* news: add news entry about the qt module refactors
* qt: add thiagokokada as maintainer
* qt: add "qtct" to qt.platformTheme
This allows usage of qt5ct/qt6ct tool to configure Qt theme/icons/fonts
in non-KDE platforms.
* qt: add missing relatedPackages for qt.platformTheme = "kde"
* qt: add "kvantum" for qt.styles.name
This allow you to configure Qt integration using KDE instead of
qgnomeplatform or qtstyleplugins. Useful if your theme supports both GTK
and KDE, for example Nordic.
To use this properly you will need to do some manual configuration for
now. You can set the theme settings using `~/.config/kdeglobals`.
Example:
```nix
{ ... }:
{
qt = {
enable = true;
platformTheme = "kde";
};
xdg = {
configFile.kdeglobals.text = lib.generators.toINI { } {
General = {
ColorScheme = "nordicbluish";
Name = "nordic-bluish";
shadeSortColumn = true;
};
Icons = {
Theme = "Nordic-bluish";
};
KDE = {
LookAndFeelPackage = "Nordic-bluish";
contrast = 4;
};
};
dataFile = {
# For General.ColorScheme
color-schemes = {
source = "${pkgs.nordic}/share/color-schemes";
recursive = true;
};
# For KDE.LookAndFeelPackage
plasma = {
source = "${pkgs.nordic}/share/plasma";
recursive = true;
};
};
};
}
```
* aerc: add space after definitions
* aerc: only generate files, if options were set
* aerc: improve file permission warning
* aerc: remove redundant access to builtins
* aerc: allow overwriting of derived values
the order of merging the config subsets did not allow the user to specify
outgoing, source and password command values,
if they were previously derived from the SMTP, IMAP, Maildir etc config.
The values from `account.<name>.extraAccounts` now have the highest precedence.
Appropriate tests were added as well.
* aerc: write primary account first
* Add infrastructure for contacts and calendars
This also adds the modules
- programs.vdirsyncer,
- programs.khal, and
- services.vdirsyncer
that integrate with the new infrastructure.

* vdirsyncer: allow option userName, disallow userNameCommand
1. account option `userName` is now allowed by `programs.vdirsyncer`
2. The commented out account option `userNameCommand` was required to be set
by `programs.vdirsyncer` (e.g. as `null`).
It is now disallowed (commented out) by vdirsyncer.

- [ ] Added myself as module maintainer. See [example](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/068ff76a10e95820f886ac46957edcff4e44621d/modules/programs/lesspipe.nix#L6).
#### Maintainer CC
<!--
If you are updating a module, please @ people who are in its `meta.maintainers` list.
If in doubt, check `git blame` for whoever last touched something.
Contributions to Home Manager are very welcome. To make the process as smooth as possible for both you and the Home Manager maintainers we provide some guidelines that we ask you to follow. See <<sec-contrib-getting-started>> for information on how to set up a suitable development environment and <<sec-guidelines>> for the actual guidelines.
This text is mainly directed at those who would like to make code contributions to Home Manager. If you just want to report a bug then first look among the already {open-issues}[open issues], if you find one matching yours then feel free to comment on it to add any additional information you may have. If no matching issue exists then go to the {new-issue}[new issue] page and write a description of your problem. Include as much information as you can, ideally also include relevant excerpts from your Home Manager configuration.
[[sec-contrib-getting-started]]
=== Getting started
If you have not previously forked Home Manager then you need to do that first. Have a look at GitHub's {fork-a-repo}[Fork a repo] for instructions on how to do this.
Once you have a fork of Home Manager you should create a branch starting at the most recent `master` branch. Give your branch a reasonably descriptive name. Commit your changes to this branch and when you are happy with the result and it fulfills <<sec-guidelines>> then push the branch to GitHub and {create-a-pull-request}[create a pull request].
Assuming your clone is at `$HOME/devel/home-manager` then you can make the `home-manager` command use it by either
1. overriding the default path by using the `-I` command line option:
If your contribution satisfy the following rules then there is a good chance it will be merged without too much trouble. The rules are enforced by the Home Manager maintainers and to a lesser extent the Home Manager CI system.
If you are uncertain how these rules affect the change you would like to make then feel free to start a discussion in the {irc-home-manager}[#home-manager] IRC channel, ideally before you start developing.
[[sec-guidelines-back-compat]]
==== Maintain backward compatibility
Your contribution should not cause another user's existing configuration to break unless there is a very good reason and the change should be announced to the user through an {assertions}[assertion] or similar.
Remember that Home Manager is used in many different environments and you should consider how your change may effect others. For example,
- Does your change work for people that do not use NixOS? Consider other GNU/Linux distributions and macOS.
- Does your change work for people whose configuration is built on one system and deployed on another system?
[[sec-guidelines-forward-compat]]
==== Keep forward compatibility in mind
The master branch of Home Manager tracks the unstable channel of Nixpkgs, which may update package versions at any time. It is therefore important to consider how a package update may affect your code and try to reduce the risk of breakage.
The most effective way to reduce this risk is to follow the advice in <<sec-guidelines-valuable-options>>.
[[sec-guidelines-valuable-options]]
==== Add only valuable options
When creating a new module it is tempting to include every option supported by the software. This is _strongly_ discouraged. Providing many options increases maintenance burden and risk of breakage considerably. This is why only the most {valuable-options}[important software options] should be modeled explicitly. Less important options should be expressible through an `extraConfig` escape hatch.
A good rule of thumb for the first implementation of a module is to only add explicit options for those settings that absolutely must be set for the software to function correctly. It follows that a module for software that provides sensible default values for all settings would require no explicit options at all.
If the software uses a structured configuration format like a JSON, YAML, INI, TOML, or even a plain list of key/value pairs then consider using a `settings` option as described in {rfc-42}[Nix RFC 42].
[[sec-guidelines-add-tests]]
==== Add relevant tests
If at all possible, make sure to add new tests and expand existing tests so that your change will keep working in the future. See <<sec-tests>> for more information about the Home Manager test suite.
Many code changes require changing the documentation as well. Module options should be documented with DocBook. See {docbook-rocks}[DocBook rocks!] for a quick introduction and {docbook}[DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide] for in-depth information of DocBook. Home Manager is itself documented using a combination of DocBook and {asciidoc}[AsciiDoc]. All text is hosted in Home Manager's Git repository.
The HTML version of the manual containing both the module option descriptions and the documentation of Home Manager can be generated and opened by typing the following in a shell within a clone of the Home Manager Git repository:
When you have made changes to a module, it is a good idea to check that the man page version of the module options looks good:
[source,console]
$ nix-build -A docs.manPages
$ man ./result/share/man/man5/home-configuration.nix.5.gz
==== Add yourself as a module maintainer
Every new module _must_ include a named maintainer using the `meta.maintainers` attribute. If you are a user of a module that currently lacks a maintainer then please consider adopting it.
If you are present in the nixpkgs maintainer list then you can use that entry. If you are not then you can add yourself to `modules/lib/maintainers.nix` in the Home Manager project.
Maintainers are encouraged to join the IRC or Matrix channel and participate when they have opportunity.
[[sec-guidelines-code-style]]
==== Format your code
Make sure your code is formatted as described in <<sec-code-style>>. To maintain consistency throughout the project you are encouraged to browse through existing code and adopt its style also in new code.
[[sec-guidelines-commit-message-style]]
==== Format your commit messages
Similar to <<sec-guidelines-code-style>> we encourage a consistent commit message format as described in <<sec-commit-style>>.
[[sec-guidelines-news-style]]
==== Format your news entries
If your contribution includes a change that should be communicated to users of Home Manager then you can add a news entry. The entry must be formatted as described in <<sec-news>>.
When new modules are added a news entry should be included but you do not need to create this entry manually. The merging maintainer will create the entry for you. This is to reduce the risk of merge conflicts.
[[sec-guidelines-conditional-modules]]
==== Use conditional modules and news
Home Manager includes a number of modules that are only usable on some of the supported platforms. The most common example of platform specific modules are those that define systemd user services, which only works on Linux systems.
If you add a module that is platform specific then make sure to include a condition in the `loadModule` function call. This will make the module accessible only on systems where the condition evaluates to `true`.
Similarly, if you are adding a news entry then it should be shown only to users that may find it relevant, see <<sec-news>> for a description of conditional news.
[[sec-guidelines-licensing]]
==== Mind the license
The Home Manager project is covered by the MIT license and we can only accept contributions that fall under this license, or are licensed in a compatible way. When you contribute self written code and documentation it is assumed that you are doing so under the MIT license.
A potential gotcha with respect to licensing are option descriptions. Often it is convenient to copy from the upstream software documentation. When this is done it is important to verify that the license of the upstream documentation allows redistribution under the terms of the MIT license.
[[sec-commit-style]]
=== Commits
The commits in your pull request should be reasonably self-contained, that is, each commit should make sense in isolation. In particular, you will be asked to amend any commit that introduces syntax errors or similar problems even if they are fixed in a later commit.
The commit messages should follow the {seven-rules}[seven rules], except for "Capitalize the subject line". We also ask you to include the affected code component or module in the first line. That is, a commit message should follow the template
----
{component}: {description}
{long description}
----
where `{component}` refers to the code component (or module) your change affects, `{description}` is a very brief description of your change, and `{long description}` is an optional clarifying description. As a rare exception, if there is no clear component, or your change affects many components, then the `{component}` part is optional. See <<ex-commit-message>> for a commit message that fulfills these requirements.
Finally, when adding a new module, say `programs/foo.nix`, we use the fixed commit format `foo: add module`. You can, of course, still include a long description if you wish.
[[sec-code-style]]
=== Code Style
The code in Home Manager is formatted by the {nixfmt}[nixfmt] tool and the formatting is checked in the pull request tests. Run the `format` tool inside the project repository before submitting your pull request.
Keep lines at a reasonable width, ideally 80 characters or less. This also applies to string literals.
We prefer `lowerCamelCase` for variable and attribute names with the accepted exception of variables directly referencing packages in Nixpkgs which use a hyphenated style. For example, the Home Manager option `services.gpg-agent.enableSshSupport` references the `gpg-agent` package in Nixpkgs.
[[sec-news]]
=== News
Home Manager includes a system for presenting news to the user. When making a change you, therefore, have the option to also include an associated news entry. In general, a news entry should only be added for truly noteworthy news. For example, a bug fix or new option does generally not need a news entry.
If you do have a change worthy of a news entry then please add one in {news-nix}[`news.nix`] but you should follow some basic guidelines:
- The entry timestamp should be in ISO-8601 format having "+00:00" as time zone. For example, "2017-09-13T17:10:14+00:00". A suitable timestamp can be produced by the command
+
[source,console]
$ date --iso-8601=second --universal
- The entry condition should be as specific as possible. For example, if you are changing or deprecating a specific option then you could restrict the news to those users who actually use this option.
- Wrap the news message so that it will fit in the typical terminal, that is, at most 80 characters wide. Ideally a bit less.
- Unlike commit messages, news will be read without any connection to the Home Manager source code. It is therefore important to make the message understandable in isolation and to those who do not have knowledge of the Home Manager internals. To this end it should be written in more descriptive, prose like way.
- If you refer to an option then write its full attribute path. That is, instead of writing
+
----
The option 'foo' has been deprecated, please use 'bar' instead.
----
+
it should read
+
----
The option 'services.myservice.foo' has been deprecated, please
use 'services.myservice.bar' instead.
----
- A new module, say `foo.nix`, should always include a news entry that has a message along the lines of
+
----
A new module is available: 'services.foo'.
----
+
If the module is platform specific, e.g., a service module using systemd, then a condition like
+
[source,nix]
condition = hostPlatform.isLinux;
+
should be added. If you contribute a module then you don't need to add this entry, the merger will create an entry for you.
[[sec-tests]]
=== Tests
Home Manager includes a basic test suite and it is highly recommended to include at least one test when adding a module. Tests are typically in the form of "golden tests" where, for example, a generated configuration file is compared to a known correct file.
It is relatively easy to create tests by modeling the existing tests, found in the `tests` project directory.
The full Home Manager test suite can be run by executing
[source,console]
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.all
in the project root. List all test cases through
[source,console]
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A list
and run an individual test, for example `alacritty-empty-settings`, through
[source,console]
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.alacritty-empty-settings
However, those invocations will impurely source the system’s nixpkgs, and may cause failures. To run against the nixpkgs from the flake.lock, use instead e.g.
=== Why is there a collision error when switching generation?
Home Manager currently installs packages into the user environment, precisely as if the packages were installed through `nix-env--install`. This means that you will get a collision error if your Home Manager configuration attempts to install a package that you already have installed manually, that is, packages that shows up when you run `nix-env--query`.
For example, imagine you have the `hello` package installed in your environment
[source,console]
----
$ nix-env --query
hello-2.10
----
and your Home Manager configuration contains
[source,nix]
----
home.packages = [ pkgs.hello ];
----
Then attempting to switch to this configuration will result in an error similar to
building path(s) ‘/nix/store/b5c0asjz9f06l52l9812w6k39ifr49jj-user-environment’
Wide character in die at /nix/store/64jc9gd2rkbgdb4yjx3nrgc91bpjj5ky-buildenv.pl line 79.
collision between ‘/nix/store/fmwa4axzghz11cnln5absh31nbhs9lq1-home-manager-path/bin/hello’ and ‘/nix/store/c2wyl8b9p4afivpcz8jplc9kis8rj36d-hello-2.10/bin/hello’; use ‘nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER PKGNAME’ to change the priority of one of the conflicting packages
builder for ‘/nix/store/b37x3s7pzxbasfqhaca5dqbf3pjjw0ip-user-environment.drv’ failed with exit code 2
error: build of ‘/nix/store/b37x3s7pzxbasfqhaca5dqbf3pjjw0ip-user-environment.drv’ failed
----
The solution is typically to uninstall the package from the environment using `nix-env--uninstall` and reattempt the Home Manager generation switch.
You could also opt to unistall _all_ of the packages from your profile with `nix-env--uninstall'*'`.
Home Manager is only able to set session variables automatically if it manages your Bash, Z shell, or fish shell configuration. To enable such management you use <<opt-programs.bash.enable>>, <<opt-programs.zsh.enable>>, or <<opt-programs.fish.enable>>.
If you don't want to let Home Manager manage your shell then you will have to manually source the `~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh` file in an appropriate way. In Bash and Z shell this can be done by adding
to your `.profile` and `.zshrc` files, respectively. The `hm-session-vars.sh` file should work in most Bourne-like shells. For fish shell, it is possible to source it using {foreign-env}[the foreign-env plugin]
A typical way to prepare a repository of configurations for multiple logins and machines is to prepare one "top-level" file for each unique combination.
For example, if you have two machines, called "kronos" and "rhea" on which you want to configure your user "jane" then you could create the files
- `kronos-jane.nix`,
- `rhea-jane.nix`, and
- `common.nix`
in your repository.
On the kronos and rhea machines you can then make
`~jane/.config/home-manager/home.nix`
be a symbolic link to the corresponding file in your configuration repository.
The `kronos-jane.nix` and `rhea-jane.nix` files follow the format
[source,nix]
----
{ ... }:
{
imports = [ ./common.nix ];
# Various options that are specific for this machine/user.
}
----
while the `common.nix` file contains configuration shared across the two logins. Of course, instead of just a single `common.nix` file you can have multiple ones, even one per program or service.
You can get some inspiration from the {post-your-homenix}[Post your home-manager home.nix file!] Reddit thread.
=== Why do I get an error message about `ca.desrt.dconf` or `dconf.service`?
You are most likely trying to configure something that uses dconf
but the DBus session is not aware of the dconf service.
The full error you might get is

The solution on NixOS is to add

to your system configuration.
=== How do I install packages from Nixpkgs unstable?
If you are using a stable version of Nixpkgs but would like to install some particular packages from Nixpkgs unstable – or some other channel – then you can import the unstable Nixpkgs and refer to its packages within your configuration. Something like
[source,nix]
----
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
let
pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {};
in
{
home.packages = [
pkgsUnstable.foo
];
# …
}
----
should work provided you have a Nix channel called `nixpkgs-unstable`.
You can add the `nixpkgs-unstable` channel by running
By default Home Manager will install the package provided by your chosen `nixpkgs` channel but occasionally you might end up needing to change this package. This can typically be done in two ways.
1. If the module provides a `package` option, such as `programs.beets.package`, then this is the recommended way to perform the override. For example,
.\" disable justification (adjust text to left margin only)
.adl
.\" enable line breaks after slashes

You are most likely trying to configure something that uses dconf but
the DBus session is not aware of the dconf service. The full error you
might get is

The solution is typically to uninstall the package from the environment
using `nix-env --uninstall` and reattempt the Home Manager generation
switch.
You could also opt to unistall *all* of the packages from your profile
Home Manager is a [Nix](https://nix.dev/)-powered tool for reproducible management of the contents of users' home directories.
This includes programs, configuration files, environment variables and, well… arbitrary files.
The following example snippet of Nix code:
```nix
programs.git = {
enable = true;
userEmail = "joe@example.org";
userName = "joe";
};
```
would make available to a user the `git` executable and man pages and a configuration file `~/.config/git/config`:
```ini
[user]
email = "joe@example.org"
name = "joe"
```
Since Home Manager is implemented in Nix, it provides several benefits:
- Contents are reproducible — a home will be the exact same every time it is built, unless of course, an intentional change is made.
This also means you can have the exact same home on different hosts.
- Significantly faster and more powerful than various backup strategies.
- Unlike "dotfiles" repositories, Home Manager supports specifying programs, as well as their configurations.
- Supported by <http://cache.nixos.org/>, so that you don't have to build from source.
- If you do want to build some programs from source, there is hardly a tool more useful than Nix for that, and the build instructions can be neatly integrated in your Home Manager usage.
- Infinitely composable, so that values in different configuration files and build instructions can share a source of truth.
- Connects you with the [most extensive](https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/total) and [most up-to-date](https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/newest) software package repository on earth, [Nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs).
The 20.09 release branch became the stable branch in late September, 2020.
[[sec-release-20.09-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* Nothing has happened.
[[sec-release-20.09-state-version-changes]]
=== State Version Changes
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to
"20.09" or later.
* The options <<opt-home.homeDirectory>> and <<opt-home.username>> no
longer have default values and must therefore be provided in your
configuration. Previously their values would default to the content of
the environment variables `HOME` and `USER`, respectively.
+
--
Further, the options <<opt-xdg.cacheHome>>, <<opt-xdg.configHome>>,
and <<opt-xdg.dataHome>> will no longer be affected by the
`XDG_CACHE_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, and `XDG_DATA_HOME` environment
variables. They now unconditionally default to
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.cache"`,
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.config"`, and
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/share"`.
If you choose to switch to state version 20.09 then you must set these
options if you use non-default XDG base directory paths.
The initial configuration generated by
[source,console]
$ nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
will automatically include these options, when necessary.
--
* Git's `smtpEncryption` option is now set to `tls` only if both <<opt-accounts.email.accounts.\_name_.smtp.tls.enable>> and <<opt-accounts.email.accounts.\_name_.smtp.tls.useStartTls>> are `true`. If only <<opt-accounts.email.accounts.\_name_.smtp.tls.enable>> is `true`, `ssl` is used instead.
* The `nixpkgs` module no longer references `<nixpkgs>`. Before it would do so when building the `pkgs` module argument. Starting with state version 20.09, the `pkgs` argument is instead built from the same Nixpkgs that was used to initialize the Home Manager modules. This is useful, for example, when using Home Manager within a Nix Flake. If you want to keep using `<nixpkgs>` with state version ≥ 20.09 then add
+
[source,nix]
_module.args.pkgsPath = <nixpkgs>;
+
to your Home Manager configuration.
* The options `wayland.windowManager.sway.config.bars` and `opt-xsession.windowManager.i3.config.bars` have been changed so that most of the suboptions are now nullable and default to `null`. The default for these two options has been changed to manually set the old defaults for each suboption. The overall effect is that if the `bars` options is not set, then the default remains the same. On the other hand, something like:
* Rofi version 1.7.0 removed many options that were used by the module and replaced them with custom themes, which are more flexible and powerful.
+
You can replicate your old configuration by moving those options to <<opt-programs.rofi.theme>>. Keep in mind that the syntax is different so you may need to do some changes.
* Taskwarrior version 2.6.0 respects XDG Specification for the config file now.
Option <<opt-programs.taskwarrior.config>> and friends now generate the config file at
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/task/taskrc` instead of `~/.taskrc`.
[[sec-release-21.11-state-version-changes]]
=== State Version Changes
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to
"21.11" or later.
* The <<opt-home.keyboard>> option now defaults to `null`, meaning that Home Manager won't do any keyboard layout management. For example, `setxkbmap` won't be run in X sessions.
* The <<opt-programs.pet.settings>> option no longer place its value inside a `General` attribute.
For example,
+
[source,nix]
programs.pet.settings.editor = "nvim";
+
becomes
+
[source,nix]
programs.pet.settings.General.editor = "nvim";
* The <<opt-programs.waybar.settings>> option now allows defining modules directly under <<opt-programs.waybar.settings>>.
Your use of Home Manager is centered around the configuration file,
which is typically found at `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix` in the standard installation
or `~/.config/home-manager/flake.nix` in a Nix flake based installation.
[NOTE]
The default configuration used to be placed in `~/.config/nixpkgs`¸
so you may see references to that elsewhere.
The old directory still works but Home Manager will print a warning message when used.
This configuration file can be _built_ and _activated_.
Building a configuration produces a directory in the Nix store that contains all files and programs that should be available in your home directory and Nix user profile, respectively. The build step also checks that the configuration is valid and it will fail with an error if you, for example, assign a value to an option that does not exist or assign a value of the wrong type. Some modules also have custom assertions that perform more detailed, module specific, checks.
Concretely, if your configuration contains
[source,nix]
programs.emacs.enable = "yes";
then building it, for example using `home-manager build`, will result in an error message saying something like
[source,console]
----
$ home-manager build
error: A definition for option `programs.emacs.enable' is not of type `boolean'. Definition values:
- In `/home/jdoe/.config/home-manager/home.nix': "yes"
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
----
The message indicates that you must provide a Boolean value for this option, that is, either `true` or `false`. The documentation of each option will state the expected type, for <<opt-programs.emacs.enable>> you will see ``Type: boolean''. You there also find information about the default value and a description of the option. You can find the complete option documentation in <<ch-options>> or directly in the terminal by running
[source,console]
man home-configuration.nix
Once a configuration is successfully built, it can be activated. The activation performs the steps necessary to make the files, programs, and services available in your user environment. The `home-manager switch` command performs a combined build and activation.
[[sec-usage-configuration]]
=== Configuration Example
A fresh install of Home Manager will generate a minimal `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix` file containing something like
[source,nix]
----
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
# Home Manager needs a bit of information about you and the
# paths it should manage.
home.username = "jdoe";
home.homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
# This value determines the Home Manager release that your
# configuration is compatible with. This helps avoid breakage
# when a new Home Manager release introduces backwards
# incompatible changes.
#
# You can update Home Manager without changing this value. See
# the Home Manager release notes for a list of state version
# changes in each release.
home.stateVersion = "23.05";
# Let Home Manager install and manage itself.
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
}
----
You can use this as a base for your further configurations.
[NOTE]
If you are not very familiar with the Nix language and NixOS modules then it is encouraged to start with small and simple changes. As you learn you can gradually grow the configuration with confidence.
As an example, let us expand the initial configuration file to also install the htop and fortune packages, install Emacs with a few extra packages available, and enable the user gpg-agent service.
To satisfy the above setup we should elaborate the `home.nix` file as follows:
[source,nix]
----
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
# Home Manager needs a bit of information about you and the
# paths it should manage.
home.username = "jdoe";
home.homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
# Packages that should be installed to the user profile.
home.packages = [ <1>
pkgs.htop
pkgs.fortune
];
# This value determines the Home Manager release that your
# configuration is compatible with. This helps avoid breakage
# when a new Home Manager release introduces backwards
# incompatible changes.
#
# You can update Home Manager without changing this value. See
# the Home Manager release notes for a list of state version
# changes in each release.
home.stateVersion = "23.05";
# Let Home Manager install and manage itself.
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
programs.emacs = { <2>
enable = true;
extraPackages = epkgs: [
epkgs.nix-mode
epkgs.magit
];
};
services.gpg-agent = { <3>
enable = true;
defaultCacheTtl = 1800;
enableSshSupport = true;
};
}
----
<1> Nixpkgs packages can be installed to the user profile using <<opt-home.packages>>.
<2> The option names of a program module typically start with `programs.<package name>`.
<3> Similarly, for a service module, the names start with `services.<package name>`. Note in some cases a package has both programs _and_ service options – Emacs is such an example.
To activate this configuration you can run
[source,console]
home-manager switch
or if you are not feeling so lucky,
[source,console]
home-manager build
which will create a `result` link to a directory containing an
activation script and the generated home directory files.
[[sec-usage-rollbacks]]
=== Rollbacks
While the `home-manager` tool does not explicitly support rollbacks at the moment it is relatively easy to perform one manually. The steps to do so are
1. Run `home-manager generations` to determine which generation you wish to rollback to:
+
[source,console]
----
$ home-manager generations
2018-01-04 11:56 : id 765 -> /nix/store/kahm1rxk77mnvd2l8pfvd4jkkffk5ijk-home-manager-generation
2018-01-03 10:29 : id 764 -> /nix/store/2wsmsliqr5yynqkdyjzb1y57pr5q2lsj-home-manager-generation
2018-01-01 12:21 : id 763 -> /nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation
2017-12-29 21:03 : id 762 -> /nix/store/6c0k1r03fxckql4vgqcn9ccb616ynb94-home-manager-generation
2017-12-25 18:51 : id 761 -> /nix/store/czc5y6vi1rvnkfv83cs3rn84jarcgsgh-home-manager-generation
…
----
2. Copy the Nix store path of the generation you chose, e.g.,
To configure programs and services Home Manager must write various things to your home directory. To prevent overwriting any existing files when switching to a new generation, Home Manager will attempt to detect collisions between existing files and generated files. If any such collision is detected the activation will terminate before changing anything on your computer.
For example, suppose you have a wonderful, painstakingly created `~/.config/git/config` and add
[source,nix]
----
{
# …
programs.git = {
enable = true;
userName = "Jane Doe";
userEmail = "jane.doe@example.org";
};
# …
}
----
to your configuration. Attempting to switch to the generation will then result in
[source,console]
----
$ home-manager switch
…
Activating checkLinkTargets
Existing file '/home/jdoe/.config/git/config' is in the way
Please move the above files and try again
----
[[sec-usage-graphical]]
=== Graphical services
Home Manager includes a number of services intended to run in a graphical session, for example `xscreensaver` and `dunst`. Unfortunately, such services will not be started automatically unless you let Home Manager start your X session. That is, you have something like
[source,nix]
----
{
# …
services.xserver.enable = true;
# …
}
----
in your system configuration and
[source,nix]
----
{
# …
xsession.enable = true;
xsession.windowManager.command = "…";
# …
}
----
in your Home Manager configuration.
[[sec-updating]]
=== Updating
If you have installed Home Manager using the Nix channel method
then updating Home Manager is done by first updating the channel.
You can then switch to the updated Home Manager environment.
The module system in Home Manager is based entirely on the NixOS module system so we will here only highlight aspects that are specific for Home Manager. For information about the module system as such please refer to the {writing-nixos-modules}[Writing NixOS Modules] chapter of the NixOS manual.
Overall the basic option types are the same in Home Manager as NixOS. A few Home Manager options, however, make use of custom types that are worth describing in more detail. These are the option types `dagOf` and `gvariant` that are used, for example, by <<opt-programs.ssh.matchBlocks>> and <<opt-dconf.settings>>.
[[sec-option-types-dag]]`hm.types.dagOf`::
Options of this type have attribute sets as values where each member is a node in a {wikipedia-dag}[directed acyclic graph] (DAG). This allows the attribute set entries to express dependency relations among themselves. This can, for example, be used to control the order of match blocks in a OpenSSH client configuration or the order of activation script blocks in <<opt-home.activation>>.
+
A number of functions are provided to create DAG nodes. The functions are shown below with examples using an option `foo.bar` of type `hm.types.dagOf types.int`.
This type is useful for options representing {gvariant-description}[GVariant] values. The type accepts all primitive GVariant types as well as arrays, tuples, ``maybe'' types, and dictionaries.
+
Some Nix values are automatically coerced to matching GVariant value but the GVariant model is richer so you may need to use one of the provided constructor functions. Examples assume an option `foo.bar` of type `hm.types.gvariant`.
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `boolean` value (GVariant format string `b`). Note, Nix booleans are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `string` value (GVariant format string `s`). Note, Nix strings are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int32` value (GVariant format string `i`). Note, Nix integers are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `double` value (GVariant format string `d`). Note, Nix floats are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkDouble 3.14;
----
+
is equivalent to
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = 3.14;
----
+
[[sec-option-types-gvariant-mkArray]]`hm.gvariant.mkArray type elements`:::
Builds a GVariant array containing the given list of elements, where each element is a GVariant value of the given type (GVariant format string `a${type}`). The `type` value can be constructed using
+
--
- `hm.gvariant.type.string` (GVariant format string `s`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.boolean` (GVariant format string `b`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.uchar` (GVariant format string `y`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.int16` (GVariant format string `n`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint16` (GVariant format string `q`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.int32` (GVariant format string `i`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint32` (GVariant format string `u`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.int64` (GVariant format string `x`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint64` (GVariant format string `t`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.double` (GVariant format string `d`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.variant` (GVariant format string `v`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.arrayOf type` (GVariant format string `a${type}`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.maybeOf type` (GVariant format string `m${type}`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.tupleOf types` (GVariant format string `(${lib.concatStrings types})`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.dictionaryEntryOf [keyType valueType]` (GVariant format string `{${keyType}${valueType}}`)
--
+
where `type` and `types` are themselves a type and list of types, respectively.
Builds a GVariant maybe value (GVariant format string `m${type}`) whose (non-existent) element is of the given type. The `type` value is constructed as described for the <<sec-option-types-gvariant-mkArray,`mkArray`>> function above.
Builds a GVariant dictionary entry containing the given list of elements (GVariant format string `{${key.type}${value.type}}`), where each element is a GVariant value.
