[Backport release-22.11] starship: add nushell integration #3701 (#3697)
* starship: add nushell integration support

(cherry picked from commit 7ae7250df8)

* starship: fix nushell integration

Overwrite starship/init.nu if already exists, since this is a cache
file for sourcing in `init.nu`.

(cherry picked from commit 646ac0ad17)

* starship: re-add ion integration

which was apparently mistakenly removed in commit 7ae7250

(cherry picked from commit a62e4c88d7)

* starship: Use mkEnableOption (#3701)

[backport 22.11] modules/git: make options passed to less(1) for diff-so-fancy configurable (#3751)
The `-X` prevents that screen is cleared when showing a diff that's
larger than my screen.

I.e. when running `git diff` and press `q`, the last thing I want to see
is the prompt with `git diff` and *not* the part of the diff I browsed,
to be clear

    $ git diff
    $ <cursor>

Considering that this is somewhat opinionated, I decided to build an
option which allows you to pass arbitrary commands to the less
invocation.

home-manager: pass -L/--print-build-logs to nix build
When building from a flake, `nix build` hides the build output by
default, with a `-L`/`--print-build-logs` option to show it. Pass this
option along from `home-manager` if the user provides it.

home-manager: refine flake URI lookup
Depending on DHCP settings you might end up with different output from
running `hostname`. Eg, your local hostname is `mylaptop`, and your
home router is configured with a local domain of `.hoome.arpa`. In
this case:

    $ hostname
    mylaptop.home.arpa
    $ hostname -s
    mylaptop

If you then go to cafe which has its router configured with `.lan` as
its local domain. Then, if your DHCP settings accept the local domain
from the router,

    $ hostname
    myalaptop.lan
    $ hostname -s
    mylaptop

With the pre-existing behaviour, if you had a
`"me@mylaptop.home.arpa"` entry in `outputs.homeConfigurations`,
running `home-manager switch` would fail:

    $ home-manager switch
    error: flake 'git+file:///home/me/.config/nixpkgs' does not provide
    attribute 'packages.aarch64-darwin.homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage',
    'legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage'
    or 'homeConfigurations."me".activationPackage'

After this commit, you can put configuration in a `"me@mylaptop"`
entry in `outputs.homeConfigurations`, and everything will work on
either network.

java: remove IFD
The previous variant used IFD to generate the `JAVA_HOME` variable and relied on internal hooks of the `java` package, this failed for a user cross compiling their configuration.

This PR changes that and uses the `home` attribute, as documented in the very last sentence of the https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-language-java chapter.

Home Manager using Nix
======================
This project provides a basic system for managing a user environment using the
[Nix][] package manager together with the Nix libraries found in [Nixpkgs][]. It
allows declarative configuration of user specific (non-global) packages and
dotfiles.
This project provides a basic system for managing a user environment

specific (non global) packages and dotfiles.
Usage
-----
Before attempting to use Home Manager please read [the warning
below](#words-of-warning).
Before attempting to use Home Manager please read the warning below.
For a systematic overview of Home Manager and its available options, please see:
For a systematic overview of Home Manager and its available options,
please see
- [Home Manager manual][manual]
- [Home Manager configuration options][configuration options]
- [3rd party Home Manager option
search](https://home-manager-options.extranix.com/)
- the [Home Manager manual][manual],
- the [Home Manager configuration options][configuration options], and
- the 3rd party [Home Manager option search](https://mipmip.github.io/home-manager-option-search/).
If you would like to contribute to Home Manager, then please have a look at
["Contributing" in the manual][contributing].
Releases
--------
Home Manager is developed against `nixpkgs-unstable` branch, which often causes
it to contain tweaks for changes/packages not yet released in stable [NixOS][].
To avoid breaking users' configurations, Home Manager is released in branches
corresponding to NixOS releases (e.g. `release-24.05`). These branches get
fixes, but usually not new modules. If you need a module to be backported, then
feel free to open an issue.
If you would like to contribute to Home Manager
then please have a look at the [contributing][] chapter of the manual.
Words of warning
----------------
Unfortunately, it is quite possible to get difficult to understand errors when
working with Home Manager. You should therefore be comfortable using the [Nix][]
language and the various tools in the Nix ecosystem.
Unfortunately, it is quite possible to get difficult to understand
errors when working with Home Manager, such as infinite loops with no
clear source reference. You should therefore be comfortable using the
Nix language and the various tools in the Nix ecosystem. Reading
through the [Nix Pills][] document is a good way to familiarize
yourself with them.
If you are not very familiar with Nix but still want to use Home Manager then
you are strongly encouraged to start with a small and very simple configuration
and gradually make it more elaborate as you learn.
If you are not very familiar with Nix but still want to use Home
Manager then you are strongly encouraged to start with a small and
very simple configuration and gradually make it more elaborate as you
learn.
In some cases Home Manager cannot detect whether it will overwrite a previous
manual configuration. For example, the Gnome Terminal module will write to your
dconf store and cannot tell whether a configuration that it is about to be
overwritten was from a previous Home Manager generation or from manual
configuration.

versions.

Also, the `home-manager` tool does not explicitly support rollbacks at the
moment so if your home directory gets messed up you'll have to fix it yourself.
See the [rollbacks][] section for instructions on how to manually perform a
rollback.

Installation
------------
Home Manager can be used in three primary ways:
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than NixOS and
Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also recommended for people
on [NixOS][] or Darwin that want to manage their home directory independently
of the system as a whole. See ["Standalone installation" in the
manual][manual standalone install] for instructions on how to perform this
installation.

1. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the user
profiles to be built together with the system when running `nixos-rebuild`.
See ["NixOS module" in the manual][manual nixos install] for a description of
this setup.

Releases
--------
Home Manager is developed against `nixpkgs-unstable` branch, which
often causes it to contain tweaks for changes/packages not yet
released in stable NixOS. To avoid breaking users' configurations,
Home Manager is released in branches corresponding to NixOS releases
(e.g. `release-22.11`). These branches get fixes, but usually not new
modules. If you need a module to be backported, then feel free to open
an issue.

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:
+
[source,console]
$ home-manager -I home-manager=$HOME/devel/home-manager
+
or
2. changing the default path by ensuring your configuration includes
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
programs.home-manager.path = "$HOME/devel/home-manager";
----
+
and running `home-manager switch` to activate the change. Afterwards, `home-manager build` and `home-manager switch` will use your cloned repository.
The first option is good if you only temporarily want to use your clone.
[[sec-guidelines]]
=== Guidelines
:irc-home-manager: https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=home-manager
:valuable-options: https://github.com/Infinisil/rfcs/blob/config-option/rfcs/0042-config-option.md#valuable-options
:rfc-42: https://github.com/Infinisil/rfcs/blob/config-option/rfcs/0042-config-option.md
:assertions: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-assertions
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.
All contributed code _must_ pass the test suite.
[[sec-guidelines-module-maintainer]]
==== Add relevant documentation
:docbook: https://tdg.docbook.org/
:asciidoc: https://asciidoc.org/
:docbook-rocks: https://berbiche.github.io/docbook.rocks/
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:
[source,console]
$ nix-build -A docs.html
$ xdg-open ./result/share/doc/home-manager/index.html
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 NixOS 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.
Also add yourself to `.github/CODEOWNERS` as owner of the associated module files, including the test files. You will then be automatically added as a reviewer on any new pull request that touches your files.
Maintainers are encouraged to join the IRC 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.
[[ex-commit-message]]
.Compliant commit message
===============================================================================
The commit {example-commit-message}[69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef] contains the commit message
----
starship: allow running in Emacs if vterm is used
The vterm buffer is backed by libvterm and can handle Starship prompts
without issues.
----
which ticks all the boxes necessary to be accepted in Home Manager.
===============================================================================
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

== Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
=== 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
[source,console]
----
$ home-manager switch

----
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 '*'`.
=== Why are the session variables not set?
:foreign-env: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env
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
[source,bash]
----
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
to your `.profile` and `.zshrc` files, respectively. The `hm-session-vars.sh` file should work in most Bourne-like shells. For fish shell, it is possible to source it using {foreign-env}[the foreign-env plugin]
[source,bash]
----
fenv source "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh" > /dev/null
----
=== How to set up a configuration for multiple users/machines?
:post-your-homenix: https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/9bb9h9/post_your_homemanager_homenix_file/
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/nixpkgs/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
----
error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name ca.desrt.dconf was not provided by any .service files
----
or
----
error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit dconf.service not found.
----
The solution on NixOS is to add
[source,nix]
programs.dconf.enable = true;
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
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --update
----
Note, the package will not be affected by any package overrides, overlays, etc.
=== How do I override the package used by a module?
:nixpkgs-overlays: https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-overlays
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,
+
[source,nix]
programs.beets.package = pkgs.beets.override { enableCheck = true; };
2. If no `package` option is available then you can typically override the relevant package using an {nixpkgs-overlays}[overlay].
+
For example, if you want to use the `programs.skim` module but use the `skim` package from Nixpkgs unstable, then a configuration like
+
[source,nix]
----
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
let
pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {};
in
{
programs.skim.enable = true;
nixpkgs.overlays = [
(self: super: {
skim = pkgsUnstable.skim;
})
];
# …
}
----
+
should work OK.

.Pp
This command updates the user environment so that it corresponds to the configuration specified in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/home.nix
or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager/flake.nix.
.Pp
All operations using this tool expects a sub-command that indicates the operation to perform. It must be one of
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm build
.RS 4
Build configuration into a result directory.
.RE
.It Cm init Op Fl -switch Op Ar dir
.RS 14
Generates an initial home.nix file for the current user. If Nix flakes are
enabled, then this command also generates a flake.nix file.
.sp
If a path
.Ar dir
is given then the configuration will be generated in that directory. Otherwise, the configuration will be generated in
~/.config/home-manager. The output directory will be created if it does not exist.
.sp
If the

[[ch-installation]]
== Installing Home Manager
:nix-darwin: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/
Home Manager can be used in three primary ways:
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than
NixOS and Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also
recommended for people on NixOS or Darwin that want to manage their
home directory independently of the system as a whole. See
<<sec-install-standalone>> for instructions on how to perform this
installation.
2. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the
user profiles to be built together with the system when running
`nixos-rebuild`. See <<sec-install-nixos-module>> for a description of
this setup.
3. As a module within a {nix-darwin}[nix-darwin] system configuration.
This allows the user profiles to be built together with the system
when running `darwin-rebuild`. See <<sec-install-nix-darwin-module>>
for a description of this setup.
[[sec-install-standalone]]
=== Standalone installation
:nix-allowed-users: https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#conf-allowed-users
:nixos-allowed-users: https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/options.html#opt-nix.allowedUsers
:bash: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/
:zsh: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/
:fish: https://fishshell.com
:plugin-foreign-env: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env
:babelfish: https://github.com/bouk/babelfish
1. Make sure you have a working Nix installation. Specifically, make
sure that your user is able to build and install Nix packages. For
example, you should be able to successfully run a command like
`nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello` without having to switch to the
root user. For a multi-user install of Nix this means that your user
must be covered by the {nix-allowed-users}[`allowed-users`] Nix
option. On NixOS you can control this option using the
{nixos-allowed-users}[`nix.allowedUsers`] system option.
2. Add the appropriate Home Manager channel. If you are following
Nixpkgs master or an unstable channel you can run
+
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
----
+
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 22.11 channel you can run
+
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.11.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
----
+
On non-NixOS, you may have to add
+
[source,bash]
export NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels:/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels${NIX_PATH:+:$NIX_PATH}
+
to your shell (see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2033[nix#2033]
and
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/where-is-nix-path-supposed-to-be-set/16434/8[this
reply on the Nix Discourse]).
3. Run the Home Manager installation command and create the first Home
Manager generation:
+
[source,console]
$ nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
+
Once finished, Home Manager should be active and available in your
user environment.
4. If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must source the
+
[source,bash]
$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh
+
file in your shell configuration. Alternatively source
+
[source,bash]
/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh
+
when managing home configuration together with system configuration.
+
This file can be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as
{bash}[Bash] or {zsh}[Z shell]. {fish}[Fish] users can use utilities
such as {plugin-foreign-env}[foreign-env] or {babelfish}[babelfish].
+
For example, if you use Bash then add
+
[source,bash]
----
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
+
to your `~/.profile` file.
If instead of using channels you want to run Home Manager from a Git
checkout of the repository then you can use the
<<opt-programs.home-manager.path>> option to specify the absolute path
to the repository.
Once installed you can see <<ch-usage>> for a more detailed
description of Home Manager and how to use it.
[[sec-install-nixos-module]]
=== NixOS module
Home Manager provides a NixOS module that allows you to prepare user
environments directly from the system configuration file, which often
is more convenient than using the `home-manager` tool. It also opens
up additional possibilities, for example, to automatically configure
user environments in NixOS declarative containers or on systems
deployed through NixOps.
To make the NixOS module available for use you must `import` it into
your system configuration. This is most conveniently done by adding a
Home Manager channel to the root user. For example, if you are
following Nixpkgs master or an unstable channel, you can run
[source,console]
----
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ sudo nix-channel --update
----
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 22.11 channel, you can run
[source,console]
----
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.11.tar.gz home-manager
$ sudo nix-channel --update
----
It is then possible to add
[source,nix]
imports = [ <home-manager/nixos> ];
to your system `configuration.nix` file, which will introduce a new
NixOS option called `home-manager.users` whose type is an attribute
set that maps user names to Home Manager configurations.
For example, a NixOS configuration may include the lines
[source,nix]
----
users.users.eve.isNormalUser = true;
home-manager.users.eve = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.packages = [ pkgs.atool pkgs.httpie ];
programs.bash.enable = true;
};
----
and after a `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` the user eve's environment should
include a basic Bash configuration and the packages atool and httpie.
[NOTE]
====
If `nixos-rebuild switch` does not result in the environment you expect,
you can take a look at the output of the Home Manager activation script output using
[source,console]
$ systemctl status "home-manager-$USER.service"
====
If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must add either
[source,bash]
----
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
or
[source,bash]
----
. "/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
to your shell configuration, depending on whether
<<nixos-opt-home-manager.useUserPackages>> is enabled. This file can
be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as {bash}[Bash] or
{zsh}[Z shell]. {fish}[Fish] users can use utilities such as
{plugin-foreign-env}[foreign-env] or {babelfish}[babelfish].
[NOTE]
====
By default packages will be installed to `$HOME/.nix-profile` but they
can be installed to `/etc/profiles` if
[source,nix]
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
is added to the system configuration. This is necessary if, for
example, you wish to use `nixos-rebuild build-vm`. This option may
become the default value in the future.
====
[NOTE]
====
By default, Home Manager uses a private `pkgs` instance that is
configured via the `home-manager.users.<name>.nixpkgs` options. To
instead use the global `pkgs` that is configured via the system level
`nixpkgs` options, set
[source,nix]
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
This saves an extra Nixpkgs evaluation, adds consistency, and removes
the dependency on `NIX_PATH`, which is otherwise used for importing
Nixpkgs.
====
Once installed you can see <<ch-usage>> for a more detailed
description of Home Manager and how to use it.
[[sec-install-nix-darwin-module]]
=== nix-darwin module
Home Manager provides a module that allows you to prepare user
environments directly from the {nix-darwin}[nix-darwin] configuration
file, which often is more convenient than using the `home-manager`
tool.
To make the NixOS module available for use you must `import` it into
your system configuration. This is most conveniently done by adding a
Home Manager channel. For example, if you are following Nixpkgs master
or an unstable channel, you can run
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
----
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 22.11 channel, you can run
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.11.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
----
It is then possible to add
[source,nix]
imports = [ <home-manager/nix-darwin> ];
to your nix-darwin `configuration.nix` file, which will introduce a
new NixOS option called `home-manager` whose type is an attribute set
that maps user names to Home Manager configurations.
For example, a nix-darwin configuration may include the lines
[source,nix]
----
users.users.eve = {
name = "eve";
home = "/Users/eve";
}
home-manager.users.eve = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.packages = [ pkgs.atool pkgs.httpie ];
programs.bash.enable = true;
};
----
and after a `darwin-rebuild switch` the user eve's environment
should include a basic Bash configuration and the packages atool and
httpie.
If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must add either
[source,bash]
----
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
or
[source,bash]
----
. "/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
----
to your shell configuration, depending on whether
<<nix-darwin-opt-home-manager.useUserPackages>> is enabled. This file
can be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as {bash}[Bash] or
{zsh}[Z shell]. {fish}[Fish] users can use utilities such as
{plugin-foreign-env}[foreign-env] or {babelfish}[babelfish].
[NOTE]
====
By default user packages will not be ignored in favor of
`environment.systemPackages`, but they will be installed to
`/etc/profiles/per-user/$USERNAME` if
[source,nix]
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
is added to the nix-darwin configuration. This option may become the
default value in the future.
====
[NOTE]
====
By default, Home Manager uses a private `pkgs` instance that is
configured via the `home-manager.users.<name>.nixpkgs` options. To
instead use the global `pkgs` that is configured via the system level
`nixpkgs` options, set

home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
This saves an extra Nixpkgs evaluation, adds consistency, and removes
the dependency on `NIX_PATH`, which is otherwise used for importing

# Contributing {#ch-contributing}
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 [Getting
started](#sec-contrib-getting-started) for information on how to set up
a suitable development environment and [Guidelines](#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](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/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](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/new) 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.

# Getting started {#sec-contrib-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](https://help.github.com/articles/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 [Guidelines](#sec-guidelines) then
push the branch to GitHub and [create a pull
request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-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:
``` shell
$ home-manager -I home-manager=$HOME/devel/home-manager
```
or, if using [flakes](#sec-flakes-standalone):
``` shell
$ home-manager --override-input home-manager ~/devel/home-manager
```
or
2. changing the default path by ensuring your configuration includes
``` nix
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
programs.home-manager.path = "$HOME/devel/home-manager";
```
and running `home-manager switch` to activate the change.
Afterwards, `home-manager build` and `home-manager switch` will use
your cloned repository.
The first option is good if you only temporarily want to use your clone.

# Guidelines {#sec-guidelines}
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
[#home-manager](https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=home-manager) IRC
channel, ideally before you start developing.
## Maintain backward compatibility {#sec-guidelines-back-compat}
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
[assertion](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-assertions)
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?
## Keep forward compatibility in mind {#sec-guidelines-forward-compat}
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
[Add only valuable options](#sec-guidelines-valuable-options).
## Add only valuable options {#sec-guidelines-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 [important software
options](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md#valuable-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 [Nix RFC
42](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md).
## Add relevant tests {#sec-guidelines-add-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
[Tests](#sec-tests) for more information about the Home Manager test
suite.
All contributed code *must* pass the test suite.
## Add relevant documentation {#sec-guidelines-module-maintainer}
Many code changes require changing the documentation as well. The
documentation is written in
[Nixpkgs-flavoured Markdown](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-contributing-markup).
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:
``` shell
$ nix-build -A docs.html
$ xdg-open ./result/share/doc/home-manager/index.html
```
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:
``` shell
$ nix-build -A docs.manPages
$ man ./result/share/man/man5/home-configuration.nix.5.gz
```
## Add yourself as a module maintainer {#_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.
As a maintainer you are expected to respond to issues and
pull-requests associated with your module.
Maintainers are encouraged to join the IRC or Matrix channel and
participate when they have opportunity.
## Format your code {#sec-guidelines-code-style}
Make sure your code is formatted as described in [Code
Style](#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.
## Format your commit messages {#sec-guidelines-commit-message-style}
Similar to [Format your code](#sec-guidelines-code-style) we encourage a
consistent commit message format as described in
[Commits](#sec-commit-style).
## Format your news entries {#sec-guidelines-news-style}
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 [News](#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.
## Use conditional modules and news {#sec-guidelines-conditional-modules}
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 [News](#sec-news) for a
description of conditional news.
## Mind the license {#sec-guidelines-licensing}
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.
## Commits {#sec-commit-style}
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](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/#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
[example_title](#ex-commit-message) for a commit message that fulfills
these requirements.
## Example commit {#ex-commit-message}
The commit
[69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/commit/69f8e47e9e74c8d3d060ca22e18246b7f7d988ef)
contains the commit message
```
starship: allow running in Emacs if vterm is used
The vterm buffer is backed by libvterm and can handle Starship prompts
without issues.
```
which ticks all the boxes necessary to be accepted in Home Manager.
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.
## Code Style {#sec-code-style}
The code in Home Manager is formatted by the
[nixfmt](https://github.com/serokell/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.

# News {#sec-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`](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/misc/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
``` shell
$ 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
``` 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.

# Tests {#sec-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. For a full reference to the
functions available in test scripts, you can look at NMT's
[bash-lib](https://git.sr.ht/~rycee/nmt/tree/master/item/bash-lib).
The full Home Manager test suite can be run by executing
``` shell
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.all
```
in the project root. List all test cases through
``` shell
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A list
```
and run an individual test, for example `alacritty-empty-settings`,
through
``` shell
$ 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.
``` shell
$ nix develop --ignore-environment .#all
```

# How do I change the package used by a module? {#_how_do_i_change_the_package_used_by_a_module}
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 change. For example,
``` nix
programs.beets.package = pkgs.beets.override { pluginOverrides = { beatport.enable = false; }; };
```
See [Nix pill 17](https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/nixpkgs-overriding-packages.html)
for more information on package overrides. Alternatively, if you want
to use the `beets` package from Nixpkgs unstable, then a configuration like
``` nix
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
let
pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {};
in
{
programs.beets.package = pkgsUnstable.beets;
# …
}
```
should work OK.
3. If no `package` option is available then you can typically change
the relevant package using an
[overlay](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-overlays).
For example, if you want to use the `programs.skim` module but use
the `skim` package from Nixpkgs unstable, then a configuration like
``` nix
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
let
pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {};
in
{
programs.skim.enable = true;
nixpkgs.overlays = [
(self: super: {
skim = pkgsUnstable.skim;
})
];
# …
}
```
should work OK.

# Why is there a collision error when switching generation? {#_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
``` shell
$ nix-env --query
hello-2.10
```
and your Home Manager configuration contains
``` nix
home.packages = [ pkgs.hello ];
```
Then attempting to switch to this configuration will result in an error
similar to
``` shell
$ home-manager switch

```
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 '*'`.

# How to set up a configuration for multiple users/machines? {#_how_to_set_up_a_configuration_for_multiple_users_machines}
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
``` 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 home-manager home.nix
file!](https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/9bb9h9/post_your_homemanager_homenix_file/)

# Why are the session variables not set? {#_why_are_the_session_variables_not_set}
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 [programs.bash.enable](#opt-programs.bash.enable),
[programs.zsh.enable](#opt-programs.zsh.enable), or [programs.fish.enable](#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
``` bash
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
to your `.profile` and `.zshrc` files, respectively. The
`hm-session-vars.sh` file should work in most Bourne-like shells. For
fish shell, it is possible to source it using [the foreign-env
plugin](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env)
``` bash
fenv source "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh" > /dev/null

# Installing Home Manager {#ch-installation}
Home Manager can be used in three primary ways:
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than
NixOS and Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also
recommended for people on NixOS or Darwin that want to manage their
home directory independently of the system as a whole. See
[Standalone installation](#sec-install-standalone) for instructions
on how to perform this installation.
2. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the
user profiles to be built together with the system when running
`nixos-rebuild`. See [NixOS module](#sec-install-nixos-module) for a
description of this setup.
3. As a module within a
[nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/) system
configuration. This allows the user profiles to be built together
with the system when running `darwin-rebuild`. See [nix-darwin
module](#sec-install-nix-darwin-module) for a description of this
setup.
:::{.note}
In this chapter we describe how to install Home Manager in the standard
way using channels. If you prefer to use [Nix
Flakes](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes) then please see the instructions
in [nix flakes](#ch-nix-flakes).

# nix-darwin module {#sec-install-nix-darwin-module}
Home Manager provides a module that allows you to prepare user
environments directly from the
[nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/) configuration file,
which often is more convenient than using the `home-manager` tool.
To make the NixOS module available for use you must `import` it into
your system configuration. This is most conveniently done by adding a
Home Manager channel. For example, if you are following Nixpkgs master
or an unstable channel, you can run
``` shell
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
```
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 24.05 channel, you can run
``` shell
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.05.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
```
It is then possible to add
``` nix
imports = [ <home-manager/nix-darwin> ];
```
to your nix-darwin `configuration.nix` file, which will introduce a new
NixOS option called `home-manager` whose type is an attribute set that
maps user names to Home Manager configurations.
For example, a nix-darwin configuration may include the lines
``` nix
users.users.eve = {
name = "eve";
home = "/Users/eve";
};
home-manager.users.eve = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.packages = [ pkgs.atool pkgs.httpie ];
programs.bash.enable = true;
# The state version is required and should stay at the version you
# originally installed.
home.stateVersion = "24.05";
};
```
and after a `darwin-rebuild switch` the user eve's environment should
include a basic Bash configuration and the packages atool and httpie.
If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must add either
``` bash
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
or
``` bash
. "/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
to your shell configuration, depending on whether
[home-manager.useUserPackages](#nix-darwin-opt-home-manager.useUserPackages) is enabled. This
file can be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as
[Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) or [Z
shell](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/). [Fish](https://fishshell.com) users
can use utilities such as
[foreign-env](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env) or
[babelfish](https://github.com/bouk/babelfish).
:::{.note}
By default user packages will not be ignored in favor of
`environment.systemPackages`, but they will be installed to
`/etc/profiles/per-user/$USERNAME` if
``` nix
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
```
is added to the nix-darwin configuration. This option may become the
default value in the future.
:::

# NixOS module {#sec-install-nixos-module}
Home Manager provides a NixOS module that allows you to prepare user
environments directly from the system configuration file, which often is
more convenient than using the `home-manager` tool. It also opens up
additional possibilities, for example, to automatically configure user
environments in NixOS declarative containers or on systems deployed
through NixOps.
To make the NixOS module available for use you must `import` it into
your system configuration. This is most conveniently done by adding a
Home Manager channel to the root user. For example, if you are following
Nixpkgs master or an unstable channel, you can run
``` shell
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ sudo nix-channel --update
```
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 24.05 channel, you can run
``` shell
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.05.tar.gz home-manager
$ sudo nix-channel --update
```
It is then possible to add
``` nix
imports = [ <home-manager/nixos> ];
```
to your system `configuration.nix` file, which will introduce a new
NixOS option called `home-manager.users` whose type is an attribute set
that maps user names to Home Manager configurations.
For example, a NixOS configuration may include the lines
``` nix
users.users.eve.isNormalUser = true;
home-manager.users.eve = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.packages = [ pkgs.atool pkgs.httpie ];
programs.bash.enable = true;
# The state version is required and should stay at the version you
# originally installed.
home.stateVersion = "24.05";
};
```
and after a `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` the user eve's environment
should include a basic Bash configuration and the packages atool and
httpie.
:::{.note}
If `nixos-rebuild switch` does not result in the environment you expect,
you can take a look at the output of the Home Manager activation script
output using
``` shell
$ systemctl status "home-manager-$USER.service"
```
:::
If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must add either
``` bash
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
or
``` bash
. "/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
to your shell configuration, depending on whether
[home-manager.useUserPackages](#nixos-opt-home-manager.useUserPackages) is enabled. This file can
be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as
[Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) or [Z
shell](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/). [Fish](https://fishshell.com) users
can use utilities such as
[foreign-env](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env) or
[babelfish](https://github.com/bouk/babelfish).
:::{.note}
By default packages will be installed to `$HOME/.nix-profile` but they
can be installed to `/etc/profiles` if
``` nix
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
```
is added to the system configuration. This is necessary if, for example,
you wish to use `nixos-rebuild build-vm`. This option may become the
default value in the future.

# Standalone installation {#sec-install-standalone}
1. Make sure you have a working Nix installation. Specifically, make
sure that your user is able to build and install Nix packages. For
example, you should be able to successfully run a command like
`nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello` without having to switch to
the root user. For a multi-user install of Nix this means that your
user must be covered by the
[`allowed-users`](https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#conf-allowed-users)
Nix option. On NixOS you can control this option using the
[`nix.settings.allowed-users`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.settings.allowed-users)
system option.
2. Add the appropriate Home Manager channel. If you are following
Nixpkgs master or an unstable channel you can run
``` shell
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
```
and if you follow a Nixpkgs version 24.05 channel you can run
``` shell
$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.05.tar.gz home-manager
$ nix-channel --update
```
3. Run the Home Manager installation command and create the first Home
Manager generation:
``` shell
$ nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
```
Once finished, Home Manager should be active and available in your
user environment.
4. If you do not plan on having Home Manager manage your shell
configuration then you must source the
``` bash
$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh
```
file in your shell configuration. Alternatively source
``` bash
/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh
```
when managing home configuration together with system configuration.
This file can be sourced directly by POSIX.2-like shells such as
[Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) or [Z
shell](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/). [Fish](https://fishshell.com)
users can use utilities such as
[foreign-env](https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env) or
[babelfish](https://github.com/bouk/babelfish).
For example, if you use Bash then add
``` bash
. "$HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh"
```
to your `~/.profile` file.
If instead of using channels you want to run Home Manager from a Git
checkout of the repository then you can use the
[home-manager.path](#opt-programs.home-manager.path) option to specify the absolute
path to the repository.

# Introduction to Home Manager {#ch-introduction}
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).

# Nix Flakes {#ch-nix-flakes}
Home Manager is compatible with [Nix
Flakes](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes). But please be aware that this
support is still experimental and may change in backwards
incompatible ways.
Just like in the standard installation you can use the Home Manager
flake in three ways:
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than
NixOS and Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also
recommended for people on NixOS or Darwin that want to manage their
home directory independently of the system as a whole. See
[Standalone setup](#sec-flakes-standalone) for instructions on how
to perform this installation.
2. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the
user profiles to be built together with the system when running
`nixos-rebuild`. See [NixOS module](#sec-flakes-nixos-module) for a
description of this setup.
3. This allows the user profiles to be built together with the system
when running `darwin-rebuild`. See [nix-darwin
module](#sec-flakes-nix-darwin-module) for a description of this
setup.

# nix-darwin module {#sec-flakes-nix-darwin-module}
The flake-based setup of the Home Manager nix-darwin module is similar
to that of NixOS. The `flake.nix` would be:
``` nix
{
description = "Darwin configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
darwin.url = "github:lnl7/nix-darwin";
darwin.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, darwin, ... }: {
darwinConfigurations = {
hostname = darwin.lib.darwinSystem {
system = "x86_64-darwin";
modules = [
./configuration.nix
home-manager.darwinModules.home-manager
{
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
home-manager.users.jdoe = import ./home.nix;
# Optionally, use home-manager.extraSpecialArgs to pass
# arguments to home.nix
}
];
};
};
};
}
```
and it is also rebuilt with the nix-darwin generations. The rebuild
command here may be `darwin-rebuild switch --flake <flake-uri>`.
You can use the above `flake.nix` as a template in `~/.config/darwin` by
``` shell
$ nix flake new ~/.config/darwin -t github:nix-community/home-manager#nix-darwin
```

# NixOS module {#sec-flakes-nixos-module}
To use Home Manager as a NixOS module, a bare-minimum `flake.nix` would
be as follows:
``` nix
{
description = "NixOS configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
./configuration.nix
home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
{
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
home-manager.users.jdoe = import ./home.nix;
# Optionally, use home-manager.extraSpecialArgs to pass
# arguments to home.nix
}
];
};
};
};
}
```
The Home Manager configuration is then part of the NixOS configuration
and is automatically rebuilt with the system when using the appropriate
command for the system, such as
`nixos-rebuild switch --flake <flake-uri>`.
You can use the above `flake.nix` as a template in `/etc/nixos` by
``` shell
$ nix flake new /etc/nixos -t github:nix-community/home-manager#nixos

# Prerequisites {#sec-flakes-prerequisites}
- Install Nix 2.4 or later, or have it in `nix-shell`.
- Enable experimental features `nix-command` and `flakes`.
- When using NixOS, add the following to your `configuration.nix`
and rebuild your system.
``` nix
nix = {
package = pkgs.nixFlakes;
extraOptions = ''
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
'';
};
```
- If you are not using NixOS, add the following to `nix.conf`
(located at `~/.config/nix/` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`).
``` bash
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
```
You may need to restart the Nix daemon with, for example,
`sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon.service`.
- Alternatively, you can enable flakes on a per-command basis with
the following additional flags to `nix` and `home-manager`:
``` shell
$ nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" <sub-commands>
$ home-manager --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" <sub-commands>
```
- Prepare your Home Manager configuration (`home.nix`).
Unlike the channel-based setup, `home.nix` will be evaluated when
the flake is built, so it must be present before bootstrap of Home
Manager from the flake. See [Configuration Example](#sec-usage-configuration) for
introduction about writing a Home Manager configuration.

# Standalone setup {#sec-flakes-standalone}
To prepare an initial Home Manager configuration for your logged in
user, you can run the Home Manager `init` command directly from its
flake.
For example, if you are using the unstable version of Nixpkgs or NixOS,
then to generate and activate a basic configuration run the command
``` shell
$ nix run home-manager/master -- init --switch
```
For Nixpkgs or NixOS version 24.05 run
``` shell
$ nix run home-manager/release-24.05 -- init --switch
```
This will generate a `flake.nix` and a `home.nix` file in
`~/.config/home-manager`, creating the directory if it does not exist.
If you omit the `--switch` option then the activation will not happen.
This is useful if you want to inspect and edit the configuration before
activating it.
``` shell
$ nix run home-manager/$branch -- init
$ # Edit files in ~/.config/home-manager
$ nix run home-manager/$branch -- init --switch
```
Where `$branch` is one of `master` or `release-24.05`.
After the initial activation has completed successfully then building
and activating your flake-based configuration is as simple as
``` shell
$ home-manager switch
```
It is possible to override the default configuration directory, if you
want. For example,
``` shell
$ nix run home-manager/$branch -- init --switch ~/hmconf
$ # And after the initial activation.
$ home-manager switch --flake ~/hmconf
```
::: {.note}
The flake inputs are not automatically updated by Home Manager. You need
to use the standard `nix flake update` command for that.
If you only want to update a single flake input, then the command
`nix flake lock --update-input <input>` can be used.
You can also pass flake-related options such as `--recreate-lock-file`
or `--update-input <input>` to `home-manager` when building or
switching, and these options will be forwarded to `nix build`. See the
[NixOS Wiki page](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes) for details.

# Using Home Manager {#ch-usage}
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
``` nix
programs.emacs.enable = "yes";
```
then building it, for example using `home-manager build`, will result in
an error message saying something like
```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
[programs.emacs.enable](#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
[Home Manager Configuration Options](#ch-options) or directly in the terminal by running
``` shell
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.

# Configuration Example {#sec-usage-configuration}
A fresh install of Home Manager will generate a minimal
`~/.config/home-manager/home.nix` file containing something like
``` 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 = "24.05";
# 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:
``` 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 = [
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 = "24.05";
# Let Home Manager install and manage itself.
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
programs.emacs = {
enable = true;
extraPackages = epkgs: [
epkgs.nix-mode
epkgs.magit
];
};
services.gpg-agent = {
enable = true;
defaultCacheTtl = 1800;
enableSshSupport = true;
};
}
```
- Nixpkgs packages can be installed to the user profile using
[home.packages](#opt-home.packages).
- The option names of a program module typically start with
`programs.<package name>`.
- 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
``` shell
home-manager switch
```
or if you are not feeling so lucky,
``` shell
home-manager build
```
which will create a `result` link to a directory containing an
activation script and the generated home directory files.

# Keeping your \~ safe from harm {#sec-usage-dotfiles}
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

# Graphical services {#sec-usage-graphical}
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
``` nix
{
# …
services.xserver.enable = true;
# …
}
```
in your system configuration and
``` nix
{
# …
xsession.enable = true;
xsession.windowManager.command = "…";
# …
}
```
in your Home Manager configuration.

# Rollbacks {#sec-usage-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:
``` shell
$ 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.,
/nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation
for generation 763.
3. Run the `activate` script inside the copied store path:
``` shell
$ /nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation/activate
Starting home manager activation
```

# Updating {#sec-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.
``` shell
$ nix-channel --update

# Option Types {#sec-option-types}
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
[programs.ssh.matchBlocks](#opt-programs.ssh.matchBlocks) and [dconf.settings](#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 [directed acyclic
graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Directed_acyclic_graph&oldid=939656095)
(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
[home.activation](#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`.
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entryAnywhere}`hm.dag.entryAnywhere (value: T) : DagEntry<T>`
: Indicates that `value` can be placed anywhere within the DAG.
This is also the default for plain attribute set entries, that
is
``` nix
foo.bar = {
a = hm.dag.entryAnywhere 0;
}
```
and
``` nix
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
}
```
are equivalent.
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entryAfter}`hm.dag.entryAfter (afters: list string) (value: T) : DagEntry<T>`
: Indicates that `value` must be placed *after* each of the
attribute names in the given list. For example
``` nix
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
b = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "a" ] 1;
}
```
would place `b` after `a` in the graph.
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entryBefore}`hm.dag.entryBefore (befores: list string) (value: T) : DagEntry<T>`
: Indicates that `value` must be placed *before* each of the
attribute names in the given list. For example
``` nix
foo.bar = {
b = hm.dag.entryBefore [ "a" ] 1;
a = 0;
}
```
would place `b` before `a` in the graph.
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entryBetween}`hm.dag.entryBetween (befores: list string) (afters: list string) (value: T) : DagEntry<T>`
: Indicates that `value` must be placed *before* the attribute
names in the first list and *after* the attribute names in the
second list. For example
``` nix
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
c = hm.dag.entryBetween [ "b" ] [ "a" ] 2;
b = 1;
}
```
would place `c` before `b` and after `a` in the graph.
There are also a set of functions that generate a DAG from a list.
These are convenient when you just want to have a linear list of DAG
entries, without having to manually enter the relationship between
each entry. Each of these functions take a `tag` as argument and the
DAG entries will be named `${tag}-${index}`.
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entriesAnywhere}`hm.dag.entriesAnywhere (tag: string) (values: [T]) : Dag<T>`
: Creates a DAG with the given values with each entry labeled
using the given tag. For example
``` nix
foo.bar = hm.dag.entriesAnywhere "a" [ 0 1 ];
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = {
a-0 = 0;
a-1 = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "a-0" ] 1;
}
```
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entriesAfter}`hm.dag.entriesAfter (tag: string) (afters: list string) (values: [T]) : Dag<T>`
: Creates a DAG with the given values with each entry labeled
using the given tag. The list of values are placed are placed
*after* each of the attribute names in `afters`. For example
``` nix
foo.bar =
{ b = 0; }
// hm.dag.entriesAfter "a" [ "b" ] [ 1 2 ];
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = {
b = 0;
a-0 = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "b" ] 1;
a-1 = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "a-0" ] 2;
}
```
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entriesBefore}`hm.dag.entriesBefore (tag: string) (befores: list string) (values: [T]) : Dag<T>`
: Creates a DAG with the given values with each entry labeled
using the given tag. The list of values are placed *before* each
of the attribute names in `befores`. For example
``` nix
foo.bar =
{ b = 0; }
// hm.dag.entriesBefore "a" [ "b" ] [ 1 2 ];
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = {
b = 0;
a-0 = 1;
a-1 = hm.dag.entryBetween [ "b" ] [ "a-0" ] 2;
}
```
[]{#sec-option-types-dag-entriesBetween}`hm.dag.entriesBetween (tag: string) (befores: list string) (afters: list string) (values: [T]) : Dag<T>`
: Creates a DAG with the given values with each entry labeled
using the given tag. The list of values are placed *before* each
of the attribute names in `befores` and *after* each of the
attribute names in `afters`. For example
``` nix
foo.bar =
{ b = 0; c = 3; }
// hm.dag.entriesBetween "a" [ "b" ] [ "c" ] [ 1 2 ];
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = {
b = 0;
c = 3;
a-0 = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "c" ] 1;
a-1 = hm.dag.entryBetween [ "b" ] [ "a-0" ] 2;
}
```
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant}`hm.types.gvariant`
: This type is useful for options representing
[GVariant](https://docs.gtk.org/glib/struct.Variant.html#description)
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`.
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkBoolean}`hm.gvariant.mkBoolean (v: bool)`
: 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,
``` nix
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkBoolean true;
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = true;
```
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkString}`hm.gvariant.mkString (v: string)`
: 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,
``` nix
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkString "a string";
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = "a string";
```
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkObjectpath}`hm.gvariant.mkObjectpath (v: string)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `objectpath` value (GVariant
format string `o`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkUchar}`hm.gvariant.mkUchar (v: string)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uchar` value (GVariant
format string `y`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkInt16}`hm.gvariant.mkInt16 (v: int)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int16` value (GVariant
format string `n`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkUint16}`hm.gvariant.mkUint16 (v: int)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint16` value (GVariant
format string `q`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkInt32}`hm.gvariant.mkInt32 (v: int)`
: 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,
``` nix
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkInt32 7;
```
is equivalent to
``` nix
foo.bar = 7;
```
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkUint32}`hm.gvariant.mkUint32 (v: int)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint32` value (GVariant
format string `u`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkInt64}`hm.gvariant.mkInt64 (v: int)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int64` value (GVariant
format string `x`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkUint64}`hm.gvariant.mkUint64 (v: int)`
: Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint64` value (GVariant
format string `t`).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkDouble}`hm.gvariant.mkDouble (v: double)`
: 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,
``` nix
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkDouble 3.14;
```
is equivalent to
``` 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`)

`(${lib.concatStrings types})`)
- `hm.gvariant.type.dictionaryEntryOf [keyType valueType]`
(GVariant format string `{${keyType}${valueType}}`)
where `type` and `types` are themselves a type and list of
types, respectively.
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkEmptyArray}`hm.gvariant.mkEmptyArray type`
: An alias of
[`hm.gvariant.mkArray type []`](#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkArray).
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkNothing}`hm.gvariant.mkNothing type`
: Builds a GVariant maybe value (GVariant format string
`m${type}`) whose (non-existent) element is of the given type.
The `type` value is constructed as described for the
[`mkArray`](#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkArray) function above.
[]{#sec-option-types-gvariant-mkJust}`hm.gvariant.mkJust element`
: Builds a GVariant maybe value (GVariant format string
`m${element.type}`) containing the given GVariant element.

== Nix Flakes
:nixos-wiki-flakes: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes
Home Manager includes a `flake.nix` file for compatibility with {nixos-wiki-flakes}[Nix Flakes].
The support is still experimental and may change in backwards incompatible ways.
[[sec-flakes-prerequisties]]
=== Prerequisites
* Install Nix 2.4 or later, or have it in `nix-shell`.
* Enable experimental features `nix-command` and `flakes`.
+
** When using NixOS, add the following to your `configuration.nix` and rebuild your system.
+
[source,nix]
nix = {
package = pkgs.nixFlakes;
extraOptions = ''
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
'';
};
+
** If you are not using NixOS, add the following to `nix.conf` (located at `~/.config/nix/` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`).
+
[source,bash]
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+
You may need to restart the Nix daemon with, for example, `sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon.service`.
+
** Alternatively, you can enable flakes on a per-command basis with the following additional flags to `nix` and `home-manager`:
+
[source,console]
----
$ nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" <sub-commands>
$ home-manager --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" <sub-commands>
----
* Prepare your Home Manager configuration (`home.nix`).
+
Unlike the channel-based setup,
`home.nix` will be evaluated when the flake is built,
so it must be present before bootstrap of Home Manager from the flake.
See <<sec-usage-configuration>> for introduction about
writing a Home Manager configuration.
[[sec-flakes-standalone]]
=== Standalone setup
1. Set up a flake with a `flake.nix` as follows:
+
[source,nix]
----
{
description = "Home Manager configuration of Jane Doe";
inputs = {
# Specify the source of Home Manager and Nixpkgs.
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager = {
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }:
let
system = "x86_64-linux";
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
in {
homeConfigurations.jdoe = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
inherit pkgs;
# Specify your home configuration modules here, for example,
# the path to your home.nix.
modules = [
./home.nix
];
# Optionally use extraSpecialArgs
# to pass through arguments to home.nix
};
};
}
----
+
[NOTE]
====
* The above example tracks the master branch of Home Manager
and nixos-unstable branch of Nixpkgs.
If you would like to use the `release-22.11` branch,
change the `home-manager` input url to `github:nix-community/home-manager/release-22.11`
and `nixpkgs` url to `github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.11`.
* The Home Manager library is exported by the flake under
`lib.hm`.
* You can use the above `flake.nix` as a template in `~/.config/nixpkgs` by
[source,console]
$ nix flake new ~/.config/nixpkgs -t github:nix-community/home-manager
====
2. Install Home Manager and apply the configuration by
+
[source,console]
----
$ nix build --no-link <flake-uri>#homeConfigurations.jdoe.activationPackage
$ "$(nix path-info <flake-uri>#homeConfigurations.jdoe.activationPackage)"/activate
----
+
Substitute `<flake-uri>` with the flake URI of the configuration flake.
If `flake.nix` resides in `~/.config/nixpkgs`,
`<flake-uri>` may be `~/.config/nixpkgs`
as a Git tree or `path:~/.config/nixpkgs` if not.
3. Since the release `21.05`,
building a flake-based configuration is as simple as
+
[source,console]
$ home-manager switch --flake '<flake-uri>#jdoe'
+
once home-manager is installed.
+
Here, `jdoe` is a configuration specified in the flake file,
and `<flake-uri>#jdoe` will be expanded to
`<flake-uri>#homeConfigurations.jdoe.activationPackage`
and be built by Nix.
[NOTE]
====
The flake inputs are not upgraded automatically when switching.
The analogy to the command `home-manager --update ...` is `nix flake update`.
If updating more than one input is undesirable,
the command `nix flake lock --update-input <input-name>` can be used.
You can also pass flake-related options
such as `--recreate-lock-file` or `--update-input [input]`
to `home-manager` when building/switching,
and these options will be forwarded to `nix build`.
See the {nixos-wiki-flakes}[NixOS Wiki page] for detail.
====
[[sec-flakes-nixos-module]]
=== NixOS module
To use Home Manager as a NixOS module,
a bare-minimum `flake.nix` would be as follows:
[source,nix]
----
{
description = "NixOS configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
./configuration.nix
home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
{
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
home-manager.users.jdoe = import ./home.nix;
# Optionally, use home-manager.extraSpecialArgs to pass
# arguments to home.nix
}
];
};
};
};
}
----
The Home Manager configuration is then part of the NixOS configuration
and is automatically rebuilt with the system when using the appropriate command
for the system, such as `nixos-rebuild switch --flake <flake-uri>`.
You can use the above `flake.nix` as a template in `/etc/nixos` by
[source,console]
$ nix flake new /etc/nixos -t github:nix-community/home-manager#nixos
[[sec-flakes-nix-darwin-module]]
=== nix-darwin module
The flake-based setup of the Home Manager nix-darwin module
is similar to that of NixOS. The `flake.nix` would be:
[source,nix]
----
{
description = "Darwin configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
darwin.url = "github:lnl7/nix-darwin";
darwin.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, darwin, ... }: {
darwinConfigurations = {
hostname = darwin.lib.darwinSystem {
system = "x86_64-darwin";
modules = [
./configuration.nix
home-manager.darwinModules.home-manager
{
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
home-manager.users.jdoe = import ./home.nix;
# Optionally, use home-manager.extraSpecialArgs to pass
# arguments to home.nix
}
];
};
};
};
}
----
and it is also rebuilt with the nix-darwin generations.
The rebuild command here may be `darwin-rebuild switch --flake <flake-uri>`.
You can use the above `flake.nix` as a template in `~/.config/darwin` by
[source,console]
$ nix flake new ~/.config/darwin -t github:nix-community/home-manager#nix-darwin

== Release 19.03
The 19.03 release branch became the stable branch in April, 2019.
[[sec-release-19.03-highlights]]
=== Highlights
:opt-home-file-source: opt-home.file._name_.source
This release has the following notable changes:
* The <<{opt-home-file-source}>> option now allows source files to be
hidden, that is, having a name starting with the `.` character. It
also allows the source file name to contain characters not typically
allowed for Nix store paths. For example, your configuration can now
contain things such as
+
[source,nix]
----
home.file."my file".source = ./. + "/file with spaces!";
----
* The type used for the systemd unit options under
<<opt-systemd.user.services>>, <<opt-systemd.user.sockets>>, etc. has
been changed to offer more robust merging of configurations. If you
don't override values within systemd units then you are not affected
by this change. Unfortunately, if you do override unit values you may
encounter errors.
+
In particular, if you get an error saying that a ``unique option'' is
``defined multiple times'' then you need to use the
https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#sec-option-definitions-setting-priorities[`mkForce`]
function. For example,
+
[source,nix]
----
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = "/foo/bar";
----
+
becomes
+
[source,nix]
----
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = lib.mkForce "/foo/bar";
----
+
We had to make this change because the old merging was causing too
many confusing situations for people.
[[sec-release-19.03-state-version-changes]]
=== State Version Changes
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These

# Release 19.03 {#sec-release-19.03}
The 19.03 release branch became the stable branch in April, 2019.
## Highlights {#sec-release-19.03-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- The [home.file._name_.source](#opt-home.file._name_.source) option now allows source
files to be hidden, that is, having a name starting with the `.`
character. It also allows the source file name to contain characters
not typically allowed for Nix store paths. For example, your
configuration can now contain things such as
``` nix
home.file."my file".source = ./. + "/file with spaces!";
```
- The type used for the systemd unit options under
[systemd.user.sockets](#opt-systemd.user.sockets),
etc. has been changed to offer more robust merging of
configurations. If you don't override values within systemd units
then you are not affected by this change. Unfortunately, if you do
override unit values you may encounter errors.
In particular, if you get an error saying that a "unique option" is
"defined multiple times" then you need to use the
[`mkForce`](https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#sec-option-definitions-setting-priorities)
function. For example,
``` nix
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = "/foo/bar";
```
becomes
``` nix
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = lib.mkForce "/foo/bar";
```
We had to make this change because the old merging was causing too
many confusing situations for people.
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-19.03-state-version-changes}
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the [home.stateVersion](#opt-home.stateVersion) option is
set to "19.03" or later.
- There is now an option [programs.beets.enable](#opt-programs.beets.enable) that
defaults to `false`. Before the module would be active if the
[programs.beets.settings](#opt-programs.beets.settings) option was non-empty.

[[sec-release-20.03]]
== Release 20.03
The 20.03 release branch became the stable branch in April, 2020.
[[sec-release-20.03-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* Assigning a list to the <<opt-home.file>>, <<opt-xdg.configFile>>,
and <<opt-xdg.dataFile>> options is now deprecated and will produce a
warning message if used. Specifically, if your configuration currently
contains something like
+
[source,nix]
----
home.file = [
{
target = ".config/foo.txt";
text = "bar";
}
]
----
+
then it should be updated to instead use the equivalent attribute set form
+
[source,nix]
----
home.file = {
".config/foo.txt".text = "bar";
}
----
+
Support for the list form will be removed in Home Manager version
20.09.
* The `lib` function attribute given to modules is now enriched with
an attribute `hm` containing extra library functions specific for Home
Manager. More specifically, `lib.hm` is now the same as `config.lib`
and should be the preferred choice since it is more robust.
+
Therefore, if your configuration makes use of, for example,
`config.lib.dag` to create activation script blocks, it is recommended
to change to `lib.hm.dag`.
+
Note, in the unlikely case that you are
+
** using Home Manager's NixOS or nix-darwin module,
** have made your own Home Manager module containing an top-level
option named `config` or `options`, and
** assign to this option in your system configuration inside a plain
attribute set, i.e., without a function argument,
+
then you must update your configuration to perform the option
assignment inside a `config` attribute. For example, instead of
+
[source,nix]
----
home-manager.users.jane = { config = "foo"; };
----
+
use
+
[source,nix]
----
home-manager.users.jane = { config.config = "foo"; };
----
* The `services.compton` module has been deprecated and instead the
new module `services.picom` should be used. This is because Nixpkgs no
longer packages compton, and instead packages the (mostly) compatible
fork called picom.
* The list form of the <<opt-programs.ssh.matchBlocks>> option has
been deprecated and configurations requiring match blocks in a defined
order should switch to using DAG entries instead. For example, a
configuration
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.ssh.matchBlocks = [
{
host = "alpha.foo.com";
user = "jd";
}
{
host = "*.foo.com";
user = "john.doe";
}
];
----
+
can be expressed along the lines of
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.ssh.matchBlocks = {
"*.example.com" = {
user = "john.doe";
}
"alpha.example.com" = lib.hm.dag.entryBefore ["*.example.com"] {
user = "jd";
}
};
----
+
Support for the list form will be removed in Home Manager version
20.09.
[[sec-release-20.03-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
"20.03" or later.
* The <<opt-programs.zsh.history.path>> option is no longer prepended
by `$HOME`, which allows specifying absolute paths, for example,
using the xdg module. Also, the default value is fixed to
`$HOME/.zsh_history` and `dotDir` path is not prepended to it
anymore.
* The newsboat module will now default in displaying `queries` before `urls` in
its main window. This makes sense in the case when one has a lot of URLs and
few queries.

== Release 20.09
The 20.09 release branch became the stable branch in late September, 2020.
[[sec-release-20.09-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:
+
--
[source,nix]

[[sec-release-21.05]]
== Release 21.05
The 21.05 release branch became the stable branch in May, 2021.
[[sec-release-21.05-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* The `opt-programs.broot.verbs` option is now a list rather than an
attribute set. To migrate, move the keys of the attrset into the list
items' `invocation` keys. For example,
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.broot.verbs = {
"p" = { execution = ":parent"; };
};
----
+
becomes
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.broot.verbs = [
{
invocation = "p";
execution = ":parent";
}
];
----
* The <<opt-programs.mpv.package>> option has been changed to allow custom
derivations. The following configuration is now possible:
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.mpv.package = (pkgs.wrapMpv (pkgs.mpv-unwrapped.override {
vapoursynthSupport = true;
}) {
extraMakeWrapperArgs = [
"--prefix" "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ":" "${pkgs.vapoursynth-mvtools}/lib/vapoursynth"
];
});
----
+
As a result of this change, <<opt-programs.mpv.package>> is no longer the
resulting derivation. Use the newly introduced `programs.mpv.finalPackage`
instead.
* The <<opt-programs.rofi.extraConfig>> option is now an attribute set rather
than a string. To migrate, move each line into the attribute set,
removing the `rofi.` prefix from the keys. For example,
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.rofi.extraConfig = ''
rofi.show-icons: true
rofi.modi: drun,emoji,ssh
'';
----
+
becomes
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.rofi.extraConfig = {
show-icons = true;
modi = "drun,emoji,ssh";
};
----
+
* The <<opt-programs.rofi.theme>> option now supports defining a theme
using an attribute set, the following configuration is now possible:
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.rofi.theme = let
# Necessary to avoid quoting non-string values
inherit (config.lib.formats.rasi) mkLiteral;
in {
"@import" = "~/.config/rofi/theme.rasi";
"*" = {
background-color = mkLiteral "#000000";
foreground-color = mkLiteral "rgba ( 250, 251, 252, 100 % )";
border-color = mkLiteral "#FFFFFF";
width = 512;
};
"#textbox-prompt-colon" = {
expand = false;
str = ":";
margin = mkLiteral "0px 0.3em 0em 0em";
text-color = mkLiteral "@foreground-color";
};
};
----
* The `services.redshift.extraOptions` and `services.gammastep.extraOptions`
options were removed in favor of <<opt-services.redshift.settings>> and
`services.gammastep.settings`, that are now an attribute set rather
than a string. They also support new features not available before, for
example:
+
[source,nix]
----
services.redshift = {
dawnTime = "6:00-7:45";
duskTime = "18:35-20:15";
settings = {
redshift = {
gamma = 0.8;
adjustment-method = "randr";
};
randr = {
screen = 0;
};
};
};
----
+
It is recommended to check either
https://github.com/jonls/redshift/blob/master/redshift.conf.sample[redshift.conf.sample] or
https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/blob/master/gammastep.conf.sample[gammastep.conf.sample]
for the available additional options in each program.
* Specifying `programs.neomutt.binds.map` or `programs.neomutt.macros.map` as a
single string is now deprecated in favor of specfiying it as a list of
strings.
* The `programs.neovim.configure` is deprecated in favor of other `programs.neovim` options;
please use the other options at your disposal:
+
[source,nix]
----
configure.packages.*.opt -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; optional = true; }]
configure.packages.*.start -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; }]
configure.customRC -> programs.neovim.extraConfig
----
* Home Manager now respects the `NO_COLOR` environment variable as per
https://no-color.org/[].
* Qt module now supports <<opt-qt.style.name>> to specify a theme name and
<<opt-qt.style.package>> to specify a theme package. If you have set
<<opt-qt.platformTheme>> to `gnome`, a <<opt-qt.style.package>> compatible
with both Qt and Gtk is now required to be set. For instance:
+
[source,nix]
----
qt = {
platformTheme = "gnome";
style = {
name = "adwaita-dark";
package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
};
};
----
* The library type `fontType` now has a `size` attribute in addition to `name`. For example:
+
[source,nix]
----
font = {
name = "DejaVu Sans";
size = 8;
};
----
* The <<opt-programs.htop.settings>> option is introduced to replace individual
options in `programs.htop`. To migrate, set the htop options directly in
<<opt-programs.htop.settings>>. For example:
+
[source,nix]
----
programs.htop = {
enabled = true;
settings = {
color_scheme = 5;
delay = 15;
highlight_base_name = 1;
highlight_megabytes = 1;
highlight_threads = 1;
};
};

The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to

```
- The `services.redshift.extraOptions` and
`services.gammastep.extraOptions` options were removed in favor of
[services.redshift.settings](#opt-services.redshift.settings) and
`services.gammastep.settings`, that are now an attribute set rather
than a string. They also support new features not available before,
for example:
``` nix
services.redshift = {
dawnTime = "6:00-7:45";
duskTime = "18:35-20:15";
settings = {
redshift = {
gamma = 0.8;
adjustment-method = "randr";
};
randr = {
screen = 0;
};
};
};
```
It is recommended to check either
[redshift.conf.sample](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/blob/master/redshift.conf.sample)
or
[gammastep.conf.sample](https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/blob/master/gammastep.conf.sample)
for the available additional options in each program.
- Specifying `programs.neomutt.binds.map` or
`programs.neomutt.macros.map` as a single string is now deprecated
in favor of specfiying it as a list of strings.
- The `programs.neovim.configure` is deprecated in favor of other
`programs.neovim` options; please use the other options at your
disposal:
``` nix
configure.packages.*.opt -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; optional = true; }]
configure.packages.*.start -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; }]
configure.customRC -> programs.neovim.extraConfig
```
- Home Manager now respects the `NO_COLOR` environment variable as per
<https://no-color.org/>.
- Qt module now supports [qt.style.name](#opt-qt.style.name) to specify a theme
name and [qt.style.package](#opt-qt.style.package) to specify a theme package. If
you have set [qt.platformTheme](#opt-qt.platformTheme) to `gnome`, a
[qt.style.package](#opt-qt.style.package) compatible with both Qt and Gtk is now
required to be set. For instance:
``` nix
qt = {
platformTheme = "gnome";
style = {
name = "adwaita-dark";
package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
};
};
```
- The library type `fontType` now has a `size` attribute in addition
to `name`. For example:
``` nix
font = {
name = "DejaVu Sans";
size = 8;
};
```
- The [programs.htop.settings](#opt-programs.htop.settings) option is introduced to
replace individual options in `programs.htop`. To migrate, set the
htop options directly in [programs.htop.settings](#opt-programs.htop.settings). For
example:
``` nix
programs.htop = {
enabled = true;
settings = {
color_scheme = 5;
delay = 15;
highlight_base_name = 1;
highlight_megabytes = 1;
highlight_threads = 1;
};
};
```

changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to
\"21.05\" or later.
- The `newsboat` module now stores generated configuration in
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/newsboat`.

[[sec-release-21.11]]
== Release 21.11
The 21.11 release branch became the stable branch in November, 2021.
[[sec-release-21.11-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* All Home Manager modules are now loaded on all platforms. With this
change you will get a more descriptive error message if you attempt to
enable a module that is incompatible with the host platform.
+
Previously, modules that were platform specific would only be loaded
on that particular platform. For example, a module defining a
https://systemd.io/[systemd] service would only be loaded when the
host platform was Linux. This reduced evaluation times, simplified the
generated documentation, and made it impossible to accidentally use
modules that do not support the host platform.
+
While the above benefits are quite nice, avoiding module loads also
brings a few problems. For example, the
https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/[public documentation]
will only show the options available for Linux hosts and the
documentation cannot make references to options within modules that
are unavailable on some hosts. Finally, users who wish to use the same
configuration file for different platforms cannot do so, even if the
platform incompatible options are unused.
+
Ultimately, the benefits of loading all modules won and the behavior
has now changed. For associated discussion see
https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/1906[issue #1906].
* 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>>.
For example,
+
[source,nix]
programs.waybar.settings.modules."custom/my-module" = { };

becomes
+
[source,nix]
programs.waybar.settings."custom/my-module" = { };

[[sec-release-22.11]]
== Release 22.11
This is the current unstable branch and the information in this section is therefore not final.
[[sec-release-22.11-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* The <<opt-home.stateVersion>> option no longer has a default value.
It used to default to ``18.09'', which was the Home Manager version
that introduced the option. If your configuration does not explicitly
set this option then you need to add
+
[source,nix]
home.stateVersion = "18.09";
+
to your configuration.
* The Flake function `homeManagerConfiguration` has been simplified.
Specifically, the arguments
+
--
- `configuration`,
- `username`,
- `homeDirectory`,
- `stateVersion`,
- `extraModules`, and
- `system`
--
+
have been removed. Instead use the new `modules` argument, which
accepts a list of NixOS modules.
+
Further, the `pkgs` argument is now mandatory and should be set to
`nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}` where `nixpkgs` is the Nixpkgs
input of your choice.
+
For example, if your Flake currently contains
+
[source,nix]
----
homeManagerConfiguration {
configuration = import ./home.nix;
system = "x86_64-linux";
username = "jdoe";
homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
stateVersion = "22.05";
extraModules = [ ./some-extra-module.nix ];

----

then you can change it to

./some-extra-module.nix
{
home = {
username = "jdoe";
homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
stateVersion = "22.05";
};
}
];
}
----
+
Of course, you can move the assignment of <<opt-home.username>>,
<<opt-home.homeDirectory>>, and <<opt-home.stateVersion>> to some
other file or simply place them in your `home.nix`.
* The `services.picom` module has been refactored to use structural
settings.
+
As a result `services.picom.extraOptions` has been removed in favor of
<<opt-services.picom.settings>>. Also, `services.picom.blur*` were
removed since upstream changed the blur settings to be more flexible.
You can migrate the blur settings to use
<<opt-services.picom.settings>> instead.
* The `services.compton` module has been removed. It was deprecated in
release 20.03. Use `services.picom` instead.
[[sec-release-22.11-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 "22.11" or later.
* The <<opt-services.mpd.musicDirectory>> option now defaults to the
value of <<opt-xdg.userDirs.music>> if <<opt-xdg.userDirs.enable>> is
enabled. Otherwise it is undefined and must be specified in the user
configuration.
* The activation script now resets `PATH` before running. Before, the
user's `PATH` environment variable would be used in the script and
this made it possible for commands in the activation script to run
arbitrary commands accessible to the user. We now restrict the
activation script to commands that are explicitly specified.
+
There is no official way to restore the old behavior. We attempt to
make the activation script as reproducible as possible and honoring
the user's `PATH` reduces reproducibility.
+
If you need to run a command in an activation script block then refer
to the command by its absolute command path, such as
`${pkgs.hello}/bin/hello`.

# Release 23.05 {#sec-release-23.05}
The 23.05 release branch became the stable branch in May, 2023.
## Highlights {#sec-release-23.05-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- Firefox add-ons are now managed per-profile. That is, if you are
currently having
``` nix
programs.firefox.extensions = [ foo bar ];
```
in your configuration then you must change it to
``` nix
programs.firefox.profiles.myprofile.extensions = [ foo bar ];
```
- The default configuration location has been changed from
`~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix`.
Similarly, if you are using a Nix flake based setup then the default
flake file location has changed from `~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix`
to `~/.config/home-manager/flake.nix`.
The old location will continue to work but using it will trigger a
warning message. We changed the default configuration location to
avoid confusion about which files belong to Home Manager and which
belong to Nixpkgs.
- The `home-manager` tool now offers an `init` command. This command
can be used to generate an initial Home Manager configuration, and
optionally also activate it. The recommended installation method for
a standalone Home Manager setup with Nix flakes uses this new
command. The standard installation method remains the same but uses
the new command internally. See [sec-flakes-standalone](#sec-flakes-standalone) for
more.
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-23.05-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
\"23.05\" or later.
- The options
- [xsession.windowManager.i3.config.window.titlebar](#opt-xsession.windowManager.i3.config.window.titlebar)
- [xsession.windowManager.i3.config.floating.titlebar](#opt-xsession.windowManager.i3.config.floating.titlebar)
- [wayland.windowManager.sway.config.window.titlebar](#opt-wayland.windowManager.sway.config.window.titlebar)
- [wayland.windowManager.sway.config.floating.titlebar](#opt-wayland.windowManager.sway.config.floating.titlebar)
now default to `true` which is consistent with the default values
for those options used by `i3` and `sway`.

# Release 23.11 {#sec-release-23.11}
The 23.11 release branch became stable in November, 2023.
## Highlights {#sec-release-23.11-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- When using [programs.fish.enable](#opt-programs.fish.enable), the setup code for
[home.sessionVariables](#opt-home.sessionVariables) is now translated with
[babelfish](https://github.com/bouk/babelfish). This should result
in significantly faster shell startup times but could theoretically
break if you have very complex bash expressions in a session
variable. Please report any issues you experience.
- The `.release` file in the Home Manager source tree has been
supplanted by `release.json`, which contains more information about
the branch. If you have any external code reading this file, please
switch to consuming `release.json` instead. The `.release` file will
be removed in 24.05.
- Home Manager has migrated to using the upstream Nixpkgs
`lib.nixosOptionsDoc` processor for option documentation. If you
have any external Home Manager modules, their option descriptions
and literal examples should be translated to [Nixpkgs-flavoured
Markdown](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-contributing-markup).
- The `services.password-store-sync` module has been removed. Use
`services.git-sync` instead.
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-23.11-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
\"23.11\" or later.

# Release 24.05 {#sec-release-24.05}
The 24.05 release branch became stable in May, 2024.
## Highlights {#sec-release-24.05-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- The `.release` file in the Home Manager project root has been
removed. Please use the `release.json` file instead.
- The {command}`home-manager uninstall` command has been reworked to,
hopefully, be more robust. The new implementation makes use of a new
Boolean configuration option [uninstall](#opt-uninstall) that can
also be used in a pure Nix Flake setup.
Specifically, if you are using a Flake only installation, then you
can clean up a Home Manager installation by adding
``` nix
uninstall = true;
```
to your existing configuration and then build and activate. This
will override any other configuration and cause, for example, the
removal of all managed files.
Please be very careful when enabling this option since activating
the built configuration will not only remove the managed files but
_all_ Home Manager state from your user environment. This includes
removing all your historic Home Manager generations!
- The use of `$DRY_RUN_CMD` and `$DRY_RUN_NULL` in activation script
blocks is now deprecated. Instead use the new shell function
{command}`run`. In most cases it is sufficient to replace
`$DRY_RUN_CMD` by {command}`run`. For example, if your configuration
currently contains
```nix
home.activation.reportChanges = config.lib.dag.entryAnywhere ''
if [[ -v oldGenPath ]]; then
$DRY_RUN_CMD nix store diff-closures $oldGenPath $newGenPath
fi
'';
```
then you are now encouraged to change to
```nix
home.activation.reportChanges = config.lib.dag.entryAnywhere ''
if [[ -v oldGenPath ]]; then
run nix store diff-closures $oldGenPath $newGenPath
fi
'';
```
See the description of [home.activation](#opt-home.activation) for
more. The deprecated variables will continue to work for now but
their use may in the future trigger a warning message and eventually
they may be removed entirely.
- Similarly, the use of `$VERBOSE_ECHO` in activation script blocks is
deprecated. Instead use the new shell function
{command}`verboseEcho`. That is,
```nix
home.activation.doThing = config.lib.dag.entryAnywhere ''
$VERBOSE_ECHO "Doing the thing"
''
```
should now be expressed
```nix
home.activation.doThing = config.lib.dag.entryAnywhere ''
verboseEcho "Doing the thing"
''
```
See the description of [home.activation](#opt-home.activation) for
more. The deprecated variable will continue to work for now but its
use may in the future trigger a warning message and eventually it
may be removed entirely.

[[ch-usage]]
== Using Home Manager
Your use of Home Manager is centered around the configuration file, which is typically found at `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`.
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/nixpkgs/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/nixpkgs/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 = "22.11";
# 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 = "22.11";
# 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.,
+
----
/nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation
----
+
for generation 763.
3. Run the `activate` script inside the copied store path:
+
[source,console]
----
$ /nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation/activate
Starting home manager activation
----
[[sec-usage-dotfiles]]
=== Keeping your ~ safe from harm
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.
[source,console]
----
$ nix-channel --update
unpacking channels...
$ home-manager switch
----

== Writing Home Manager Modules
:writing-nixos-modules: https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-writing-modules
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.
[[sec-option-types]]
=== Option Types
:wikipedia-dag: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Directed_acyclic_graph&oldid=939656095
:gvariant-description: https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-GVariant.html#glib-GVariant.description
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>>.
`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`.
+
`hm.dag.entryAnywhere (value: T)`:::
Indicates that `value` can be placed anywhere within the DAG. This is also the default for plain attribute set entries, that is
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = {
a = hm.dag.entryAnywhere 0;
}
----
+
and
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
}
----
+
are equivalent.
+
`hm.dag.entryAfter (afters: list string) (value: T)`:::
Indicates that `value` must be placed _after_ each of the attribute names in the given list. For example
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
b = hm.dag.entryAfter [ "a" ] 1;
}
----
+
would place `b` after `a` in the graph.
+
`hm.dag.entryBefore (befores: list string) (value: T)`:::
Indicates that `value` must be placed _before_ each of the attribute names in the given list. For example
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = {
b = hm.dag.entryBefore [ "a" ] 1;
a = 0;
}
----
+
would place `b` before `a` in the graph.
+
`hm.dag.entryBetween (befores: list string) (afters: list string) (value: T)`:::
Indicates that `value` must be placed _before_ the attribute names in the first list and _after_ the attribute names in the second list. For example
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = {
a = 0;
c = hm.dag.entryBetween [ "b" ] [ "a" ] 2;
b = 1;
}
----
+
would place `c` before `b` and after `a` in the graph.
`hm.types.gvariant`::
This type is useful for options representing {gvariant-description}[GVariant] values. The type accepts all primitive GVariant types as well as arrays and tuples. Dictionaries are not currently supported.
+
To create a GVariant value you can use a number of provided functions. Examples assume an option `foo.bar` of type `hm.types.gvariant`.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkBoolean (v: bool)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `boolean` value. Note, Nix booleans are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkBoolean true;
----
+
is equivalent to
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = true;
----
`hm.gvariant.mkString (v: string)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `string` value. Note, Nix strings are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkString "a string";
----
+
is equivalent to
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = "a string";
----
`hm.gvariant.mkObjectpath (v: string)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `objectpath` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkUchar (v: string)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uchar` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkInt16 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int16` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkUint16 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint16` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkInt32 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int32` value. Note, Nix integers are automatically coerced using this function. That is,
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = hm.gvariant.mkInt32 7;
----
+
is equivalent to
+
[source,nix]
----
foo.bar = 7;
----
`hm.gvariant.mkUint32 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint32` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkInt64 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `int64` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkUint64 (v: int)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `uint64` value.
`hm.gvariant.mkDouble (v: double)`:::
Takes a Nix value `v` to a GVariant `double` value. 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;

`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. The `type` value can be constructed using
+
--
- `hm.gvariant.type.string`
- `hm.gvariant.type.boolean`
- `hm.gvariant.type.uchar`
- `hm.gvariant.type.int16`
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint16`
- `hm.gvariant.type.int32`
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint32`
- `hm.gvariant.type.int64`
- `hm.gvariant.type.uint64`
- `hm.gvariant.type.double`
- `hm.gvariant.type.variant`
- `hm.gvariant.type.arrayOf type`
- `hm.gvariant.type.maybeOf type`
- `hm.gvariant.type.tupleOf types`
- `hm.gvariant.type.dictionaryEntryOf types`
--
+
where `type` and `types` are themselves a type and list of types, respectively.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkEmptyArray type`:::
An alias of `hm.gvariant.mkArray type []`.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkNothing type`:::
Builds a GVariant maybe value whose (non-existent) element is of the given type. The `type` value is constructed as described for the `mkArray` function above.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkJust element`:::
Builds a GVariant maybe value containing the given GVariant element.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkTuple elements`:::
Builds a GVariant tuple containing the given list of elements, where each element is a GVariant value.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkVariant element`:::
Builds a GVariant variant which contains the value of a GVariant element.
+
`hm.gvariant.mkDictionaryEntry elements`:::
Builds a GVariant dictionary entry containing the given list of elements, where each element is a GVariant value.
