# Welcome to _the Satellite_

In case you are not familiar with nix/nixos, this is a collection of configuration files which build my entire system in a declarative manner. The tool used to configure the global system is called [nixos](https://nixos.org/), and the one used to configure the individual users is called [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager).

### Features this repository includes:

- Consistent base16 theming using [stylix](https://github.com/danth/stylix)
- [Agenix](https://github.com/ryantm/agenix) & [homeage](https://github.com/jordanisaacs/homeage) based secret management
- Sets up all the apps I use — including git, neovim, fish, tmux, starship, xmonad, rofi, polybar, discord, zathura, alacritty & more.

### In the future I might start using any of the other cool nix-based tools, like:

- [nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin) - like nixos but for macs
- [disko](https://github.com/nix-community/disko) - format disks using nix

The current state of this repo is a refactor of my old, messy nixos config, based on the structure of [this template](https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs).

### Hosts

This repo's structure is based on the concept of hosts - individual machines configured by me. I'm naming each host based on things in space/mythology (_they are the same picture_). The hosts I have right now are:

- [tethys](./hosts/nixos) - my personal laptop
