 @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | I get it building (seemingly) fine and can enter nix-shell when I set user | 00:54:37 |
| @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | I'm just trying to understand how the pieces fit together | 00:54:54 |
 Pacman99 | So the idea is digga can create home-manager users for you and gives it to your nixos profiles as hmUsers | 00:56:59 |
| Pacman99 | So yeah you do need the home.users line | 00:57:09 |
| @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | Why not just have digga look at home.users and go from there? | 00:59:59 |
| @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | Or rake users/alice/default.nix into home.users? | 01:00:39 |
| @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | Is there a way to add the user to home.users from the default.nix file so I don't need to manage the user in both places? | 01:02:59 |
| @cw:kernelpanic.cafe | Redacted or Malformed Event | 02:41:03 |
| Pacman99 | Well I think you could just set your user profile in users/cw/default.nix, like remove the inherite (hmUsers) cw and move the stuff from the flake.nix home.users to home-manager.sers.cw = | 05:41:23 |
| Pacman99 | Then just drop the home.users line in flake.nix | 05:41:36 |
| Pacman99 | home.users is only necessary if you do inherit (hmUsers) alice | 05:42:00 |
| Pacman99 | * Well I think you could just set your user profile in users/cw/default.nix, like remove the inherit (hmUsers) cw and move the stuff from the flake.nix home.users to home-manager.sers.cw = | 05:42:11 |
| Pacman99 | * Well I think you could just set your user profile in users/cw/default.nix, like remove the inherit (hmUsers) cw and move the stuff from the flake.nix home.users to home-manager.users.cw = | 05:42:18 |

 Bruno | I'm trying to do something but I need some help.
I've added a vars.nix file at the root of my dir with some variables that I use in many places:
{
username = "sweenu";
terminal = "alacritty";
}
And I have added vars = import ./vars.nix in my flake.nix and it's perfect, I can use my vars as simply as self.vars.username.
But I'm trying to improve this with:
{ pkgs }:
{
username = "sweenu";
terminal = "alacritty";
terminalBin = "${pkgs.alacritty}/bin/alacritty";
}
But I have no clue how I could pass that pkgs argument though :/
I have tried vars = import ./vars.nix { pkgs = nixos; }; and vars = import ./vars.nix { pkgs = inputs.nixos; }; but it seems that the nixos variable isn't pointing to nixpkgs because it can't find alacritty.
Is there a way to do what I'm looking to do?

 @danielphan.2003:matrix.org | You should create a module for this:
In `modules/vars.nix`
```
{ pkgs, lib, ... }:
with lib;
{
options = {
username = mkOption { type = types.str; };
terminalBin = mkOption { type = types.package; };
};
config = {
username = "sweenu";
terminalBin = "${pkgs.alacritty}/bin/alacritty";
};
}

Then in these places, use config.username, config.terminal and so on. | 16:08:08 |
