Welcome to the Satellite
In case you are not familiar with nix/nixos, this is a collection of configuration files which build all my systems in a declarative manner. The tool used to configure the global system is called nixos, and the one used to configure the individual users is called home-manager.
A visual history of my setup is in the works!
Features this repository includes:
- Consistent base16 theming using stylix
- sops-nix based secret management
- Sets up all the apps I use — including git, neovim, fish, tmux, starship, hyprland, anyrun, discord, zathura, wezterm & much more.
The current state of this repo is a refactor of my old, messy nixos config, based on the structure of this template.
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 - my personal laptop
- lapetus - older laptop running as a server
- euporie - barebones host for testing things insdie a VM

Hall of fame
Includes links to stuff which used to be in the previous section but is not used anymore. Only created this section in June 2023, so stuff I used earlier might not be here. Sorted with the most recently dropped things at the top.
- Agenix & homeage — I switched to sops-nix
- Mind.nvim — self management tree editor. The project got archived, so I switched to Smos.
- Null-ls — general purpose neovim LSP. The project got archived, so I switched to formatter.nvim.
- Wofi — program launcher. I switched to Anyrun.
- Alacritty — terminal emulator. I switched to Wezterm.
- Xmonad — xorg window manager. I switched to Hyprland.
- Chrome — web browser. I switched to
firefoxbecause it offers a better HM module.
Future
Tooling I might use in the future:
- nix-darwin - like nixos but for macs
- eww - widget framework
