Structure

Function Arguments

• myconfigName (string): the category for all Denix module options, hosts, and rices. Default is myconfig; changes are not recommended.
• denixLibName (string): the name of the Denix library in specialArgs ({denixLibName, ...}: denixLibName.module { ... }). Default is delib; changes are not recommended.
• homeManagerNixpkgs (nixpkgs): used in the pkgs attribute of the home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration function in the format: homeManagerNixpkgs.legacyPackages.${host :: homeManagerSystem}. By default, it takes nixpkgs from the flake, so if you've set inputs.denix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";, specifying homeManagerNixpkgs is typically unnecessary.
• homeManagerUser (string): the username, used in home-manager.users.${homeManagerUser} and for generating the Home Manager configuration list.
• moduleSystem ("nixos", "home", and "darwin"): specifies which module system the configuration list should be generated for - NixOS, Home Manager, or Nix-Darwin.
• paths (listOf string): paths to be imported; add hosts, rices, and modules here. Default is [].
• exclude (listOf string): paths to be excluded from importing. Default is [].
• recursive (boolean): determines whether to recursively search for paths to import. Default is true.
• specialArgs (attrset): specialArgs to be passed to lib.nixosSystem, home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration, and nix-darwin.lib.darwinSystem. Default is {}.
• EXPERIMENTAL extraModules (list): default is [].
• EXPERIMENTAL mkConfigurationsSystemExtraModule (attrset): a module used in the internal NixOS configuration that receives the list of hosts and rices to generate the configuration list. Default is {nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "x86_64-linux";}.
