use home-manager inside nixosConfigurations in a Flake

[aleeusgr]

I got this:

To use home-manager inside nixosConfigurations in a Flake, put home-manager in your inputs and in your configuration modules import home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager, then you can use it as above.

so I added home-manager to flake.nix:

nix-things/flake.nix

Lines 29 to 34 in c6183b2

	homeConfigurations = (
	import ./outputs/home-conf.nix {
	#inherit system nixpkgs nurpkgs home-manager tex2nix;
	inherit system nixpkgs home-manager ;
	}
	);

What should be here:

nix-things/outputs/home-conf.nix

Lines 2 to 8 in 1879eb8

	#let
	# home-manager = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz";
	#in
	{
	imports = [
	import home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
	];

The problem is:

14:40 $ systemctl status "home-manager-$USER.service"
Unit home-manager-alex.service could not be found.

comparing to https://github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config

flake.nix is similar;

https://github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config/blob/8c589a464114b6e6d8efd5e42804f2e8f2c5a9b6/flake.nix#L54-L68

/outputs/nixos-conf.nix is the same;
https://github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config/blob/8c589a464114b6e6d8efd5e42804f2e8f2c5a9b6/outputs/nixos-conf.nix#L7-L14

Look at

nix-things/flake.nix

Line 32 in 7d81d2a

inherit system nixpkgs home-manager ;

• host configurations (via NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos).

K900 (bcachefs when):

Basically if you want it to be integrated in your NixOS config and not built separately, you want to add home-manager.nixosModules.default into your NixOS config's imports (where home-manager is the flake input) and then set home-manager.users.k900.imports = [ ./home.nix ]

(replace with your username and paths, of course)
