| TobTobXX | Hi just a quick question: I have a non-flake NixOS configuration and I want to use the NixOS Module from a flake. How would I go about that? Thank you! | 19:39:36 |
 nim65s | TobTobXX: for this, I used https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/nixos-with-flakes/nixos-with-flakes-enabled and was quite happy with it :) | 19:52:18 |

| @aftix:matrix.org | Is it possible to pin a flake's input to a specific package in nixpkgs? i.e. I would like to use a flake A from a "github:...", but A has an input B that points at another "github:...", and i'd like to point it at the pkgs.B i have in my environment.systemPackages instead | 05:23:41 |

Is it possible to pin a flake's input to a specific package in nixpkgs? i.e. I would like to use a flake A from a "github:...", but A has an input B that points at another "github:...", and i'd like to point it at the pkgs.B i have in my environment.systemPackages instead can you share which flake this is? what you can do kind of depends on how that flake is structured in my experience.
i don't think overriding an input with a specific package will work, since nix flakes expect inputs to always be flakes.
a lot of flakes are structured in a way that you can pass a package override to one of its functions. or maybe it has an overlay that you can use instead of packages output, that does not specify the dependency you want to override? | 05:35:58 |
| @aftix:matrix.org | It's the hyprland-plugins flake and I would like to pin it against the hyprland package in unstable. The plugins flake starts off with `inherit (inputs.hyprland) nixpkgs` so it seems to me like it won't be possible | 05:40:22 |

| gdarends | Hi all | 13:33:31 |
| gdarends | Been experimenting with NixOS and it's been great so far. | 13:33:59 |
| gdarends | I did come across an application that I need to install but it is not in nixpkgs and I'm wondering how to install this. It's an application which I can find the executable binary on the product website. I searched the internet and there is some suggestion to create a derivation which I did. But I don't know how to load this in my flake. I couldn't find any example of how to do this. | 13:36:58 |
| gdarends | { lib, stdenv, fetchurl, ...}:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
name = "stereo_tool_gui_jack_64";
version = "10.30";
src = fetchurl {
curlOpts = [ "-L" ];
url = "https://www.stereotool.com/download/stereo_tool_gui_jack_64";
sha = "b32d69b3892732548a55aa5241327afbc43bc7bd3f0a94548fb524596524ada2";
};
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/bin
mkdir -p $out/share/applications
cp $src $out/bin
'';
}

| gdarends | I saved this file in my flake project. But how do I call this? | 13:42:44 |
 Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | In reply to @gdarends:matrix.org
I saved this file in my flake project. But how do I call this? packages.X.Y = inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.X.callPackage ./file.nix { }; | 14:00:43 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | X being the system architecture | 14:00:56 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | Y being the name of the package output | 14:01:01 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | replace file with the file name | 14:01:06 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | * replace file.nix with the file name | 14:01:17 |
