 mib 🥐 | if you e.g. wanted to get config from some other module, you'd be unable to since you can't see the fully built config (the config variable that modules usually have access to) | 13:44:35 |
 Industrial | Okay | 13:46:38 |
| mib 🥐 | if you wanna go about it like this, you could e.g. have a bunch of modules (like you do), but define a top-level configuration option for all your stuff, i.e.
nixosConfigratuinon = {
langhus = lib.nixosSystem {
modules = [
/* all your modules */
# ...
# and then a host-specific module
./hosts/langhus
];
};
};
then ./hosts/langhus/default.nix:
{ ... }: {
options.config = {
hostname = "langhus"; /* although tbh you should just set `networking.hostName` and if you need to refer to it elsewhere use `config.networking.hostName` */
/* etc */
};
}

};
}
then your networking is imported just like all the other ones, but defined as
{ config, ... }: {
networking.networkmanager.enable = true;
networking.hostName = config.custom.hostname;
}

Seems like I can't define options.custom = {} nor custom = {} in the ./hosts/langhus/default.nix. | 14:01:46 |
| Industrial | Should I use pkgs.lib.mkOption there? | 14:03:46 |
| mib 🥐 | When you're doing options you're making an option, so use mkOption | 14:09:45 |
| mib 🥐 | When you're configuring them ie custom = {}, just set them as you'd normally do. | 14:10:15 |
 @petrichor:envs.net | If you just want to put a value somewhere to share with other modules, you can do lib.custom = { hostname = "langhus"; }; for example | 14:19:56 |

| Industrial | Oh. okay :D | 16:27:32 |

 @fractivore:cyberia.club | So as far as whether flakes are regarded as stable... I mean I know I had to get past multiple warnings that they were unstable / experimental before using them. From that standpoint they're definitely treated as experimental . | 17:18:07 |
