 Minijackson | hello all! 👋 | 21:02:17 |
 magnetophon | hi Minijackson, good to see you here! | 21:03:24 |

| mindtree | Hey folks, very nice to find this channel :) | 23:56:10 |
| mindtree | Does anyone happen to be both successfully using flakes for their NixOS configuration and have audio plugins working in their DAW? | 23:56:46 |
| mindtree | Ever since I switched all my config over to flakes, I've noticed DAWs have stopped picking up any of my plugins | 23:57:14 |
| mindtree | I think I have the env vars from musnix set, but I think the paths might have changed? | 23:58:00 |
| mindtree | Just curious if anyone knows off the top of their head before I start diving through nixpkgs :) | 23:58:26 |
| mindtree | I posted this a while ago, but finally gonna set aside some time to sort it out today https://discourse.nixos.org/t/audio-plugins-no-longer-detected-after-switching-to-nix-2-4-flakes/17177/3 | 23:59:08 |

Does anyone happen to be both successfully using flakes for their NixOS configuration and have audio plugins working in their DAW? hello! welcome! I have such system at home, but I'm not sure why having your config as a flake or not should change your overall configuration | 07:09:34 |
| Minijackson | if you use musnix and have musnix.enable = true, musnix should set your plugin paths env vars: https://github.com/musnix/musnix/blob/c28a81cfdc33cbe95bce3aa853da5d8e5d8f5d00/modules/base.nix#L79 | 07:11:16 |
| Minijackson | do you have the value of your e.g. $LV2_PATH? | 07:11:46 |
| mindtree | Ahh thanks for the link! I've been avoiding musnix as I think it might be a little overkill for what I'm after, but I'll take a closer look at that makePluginPath function - I'm sure it'll have the answers I'm after :) | 07:12:50 |

do you have the value of your e.g. $LV2_PATH? $ echo $LV2_PATH
/home/mindtree/.lv2:/home/mindtree/.nix-profile/lib/lv2:/run/current-system/sw/lib/lv2
| 07:13:05 |
| mindtree | ^ This was copied long ago from a much older musnix I think - I thought musnix might have broken since too, but if it's working for you now they must have addressed whatever issue I was running into since | 07:14:31 |
| Minijackson | IIRC, this means that your plugins installed through users.users.mindtree.packages won't be found, since you don't have the path /etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/lv2 | 07:15:48 |
| Minijackson | but it should work for globally installed plugins, or plugins installed through nix-env | 07:16:28 |

 @alejandrosame:matrix.org | I'm very confused about how to add musnix as a flake and later call musnix.enable on my configuration.nix file.
Does anybody have a lonk to a working example so I can see the proper setup?
The repo is not too clear on this for a newbie that's still figuring the Nix ecosystem. | 18:02:54 |

| Minijackson | so, musnix is another repository containing Nix files, which you can track using inputs, this allows your configuration to use a fixed version of that repo, while allowing manual upgrades | 21:11:04 |
| Minijackson | you can add this input by adding near the top inputs.musnix.url = "github:musnix/musnix"; | 21:11:28 |
| Minijackson | the usefulness of the musnix flakes itself comes from its outputs, which you can look at by doing nix flake show github:musnix/musnix | 21:12:15 |
| Minijackson | which gives:
github:musnix/musnix/6eb5c1714fbb7622b7270be78243365f9c55c9cb
├───nixosModule: NixOS module
└───nixosModules
└───musnix: NixOS module
| 21:12:36 |
| Minijackson | * you can add this input by adding near the top inputs.musnix.url = "github:musnix/musnix";, and adding musnix to the arguments of the outputs function. | 21:13:17 |
| Minijackson | so you're interested in either musnix.nixosModule and musnix.nixosModules.musnix | 21:13:30 |
| Minijackson | (nixosModule was deprecated for nixosModules.default, so I suggest using the second one) | 21:13:53 |
| Minijackson | so, in your nixosSystem call, you can add in your modules / imports the expression musnix.nixosModules.musnix | 21:14:27 |
| Minijackson | {
description = "...";
inputs.nixpkgs.url = "...";
inputs.musnix.url = "github:musnix/musnix";
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, musnix }: {
nixosConfigurations."myConfig" = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
musnix.nixosModules.musnix
# ...
];
};
};
}
