This patch started by addresssing the code review comments to close
https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/pull/290. However initiating a new
pull request it became clear, that home-manager changed significantly
since then.
This changes the initial pull request to be consistent with the email
account management in home-manager now. It also adds a simple test and support
for multiple accounts.
Because `extraPackages` and `overrides` expect functions as values it
has not been possible to perform merges. This adds suitable types for
these options that allow reasonable merging.
When a configuration file would be written to an existing file, rather
than failing switch (and having the user have to move or delete those
files), move the files automatically to a new path.
Closes#585
In particular, don't add trailing backslashes introduced by
`xautolockExtraOptions`. Systemd's unit file parser seems to have
gotten a bit stricter and with systemd 242, the trailing backslash
caused the next non-empty line to be ignored.
In that case, this was `[Section]`, so all subsequent settings were
mistakenly added to `[Service]`, causing them to be ignored entirely.
Simplify and fix this by using `concatStringsSep` to build a single
`ExecStart` line.
This fixes a build error occurring when building a configuration
having fontconfig enabled and `home.packages` only containing one
package installing things to `/lib`.
Also adds a number of test cases to verify the fontconfig cache
generation functionality.
Fixes#703
Add parens to expression so the `-exec` includes files matching both.
Otherwise (before this change) the `-exec` is only invoked for
links (`-type l`):
file or (link -> doexec)
=>
(file or link) -> doexec
Also deprecates the `fonts.fontconfig.enableProfileFonts` option. The
configuration is now always generated if `fonts.fontconfig.enable` is
set.
Fixes#520
Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
Having this in the unit file will prevent the file from being
restarted if a change is detected. This is useful if data loss may
occur if the unit is suddenly restarted. For example, restarting the
Emacs service may result in the loss of unsaved open buffers.
This should allow more sensible merging behavior. In particular, with
this change it is possible to use, for example, `mkForce` for greater
control of merging.
Fixes#543
When using the NixOS module we cannot guarantee that the Nix store
will be writable during startup. Installing the user packages through
`nix-env -i` will fail in these cases.
This commit adds a NixOS option `home-manager.useUserPackages` that,
when enabled, installs user packages through the NixOS
users.users.<name?>.packages
option.
Note, when submodule support and external package install is enabled
then the installed packages are not available in `~/.nix-profile`. We
therefore set `home.profileDirectory` directly to the HM profile
packages.
This removes the `nixosSubmodule` option in favor of a new option
`submoduleSupport.enable`. This name better indicates that the
submodule mode applies to both NixOS and nix-darwin.
On non-x86 architectures (for example, aarch64) the installation of
home-manager fails indicating that it is attempting to select i686
packages for Linux and those aren't available.
Solution: make the condition for choosing these packages stricter
Makes fish use global scope for abbreviations.
This makes it so that they don't stick across config changes.
Before, an abbreviation would still exist even if removed from the config.
In particular support source files whose name start with `.` or
contain characters not allowed in the nix store, such as spaces.
Also add some test cases for `home.file`.
This patch allow to define custom msmtp options per email account. For
example: to change the "auth" method from "on" to "login", add
`msmtp.extraConfig.auth="login"`.
Add option "extraLocalVars" for additional local variable definitions
in .zshrc, at the top of the file.
Some zsh plugins/themes expect configuration in local variables before they
are loaded (example: https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k). Exporting
those clutters the environment and is unnecessary.
Use the new module lib.zsh to generate export statements in zsh syntax, using
zsh arrays for lists.
Being a zsh script, this seems more intuitive for .zshrc
Added utilities to generate export statements and definitions for zsh scripts.
Currently, there is only lib.shell which generates export statements in bash
syntax. However, this does not allow to generate export statements for zsh
arrays (syntax: NAME=(elem1 elem2 ...) ), which would be the natural
representation of lists in the nix language.
All default keybindings should have a default priority attached to them.
This will allow users to redefine some of the default keybindings
without using mkForce. Fixes#485.
Instead of using the hostname `%h`, which can be changed by the
~/.ssh/config file, use the commandline-given hostname `%n`.
This allows to alias a host with different hostnames, which then point
to different configurations. A common use-case for this is if you have
multiple accounts on github with each access to different private repos:
Host github.com
IdentitiesOnly yes
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host customer.github.com
IdentitiesOnly yes
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/customer
HostName github.com
Without this change, if a connection was established with the first
github.com alias, then the user would try to pull a repo from the second
account, ssh would re-use the SSH connection which doesn't have access
to that repository.
This commit adds the tmux program to Home Manager.
In addition to configuring tmux, a user may specify tmux plugins from
Nixpkgs. These can be included in the list of `plugins` and can either
be a package (all tmux plugins live under `nixpkgs.tmuxPlugins.*`), or
an object which includes the plugin and an `extraConfig`, which will
be run immediately after sourcing the tmux plugin.
Finally, this commit introduces two nested programs which may be
enabled which depend on tmux: tmuxp and tmuxinator. These do not have
the ability to be configured, although this may be a future
contribution.
This reverts the commits
- "alot: change msmtp default command"
8e798e4c28
- "astroid: init"
736e340bde
because they include changes that break some configurations and some
options that are misplaced.
The current documentation does not provide guidance to users on how
systemd units are defined in Home Manager. A user may expect the
configuration to be similar to NixOS, when it actually differs.
Fixes#418
The ExecStartPost command is currently started when the mbsync is
invoked succesfully. However, we typically want to run something like
'mu index' or 'notmuch new' after mbsync completes. This changes the
unit type to oneshot, so that the ExecStartPost command is run after
mbsync finishes succesfully.
To allow supporting more advanced configurations. The local refers to
the "maildir store" configuration, remote to the "IMAP store", and
"channel" to the channel.
This option allows overriding the default script path `~/.xsession`.
On NixOS, this is needed to allow multiple possible graphical login
sessions.
Fixes#391.
This allows you to specify your own custom commands
to be run when calling fzf. You might use tools like
fd to search faster and take `.gitignore` files into
consideration.
This reverts commit d5bbbbd41d.
This was premature, the example will not emit a terminal newline and
it is not clear whether it is a good idea to force this limitation.
This reworks the way program specific email account options are
specified. In particular, we no longer use the deprecated `options`
field of `mkOption`. Instead submodules are used.
In particular, don't bother attempting to do substitution of the home
files and home generation derivations since these rarely, if ever,
could be substituted.
Fixes#330
This adds a general module infrastructure for configuring email
accounts. The intent is to specify high level information such as IMAP
and SMTP hostnames and login information so that more specific program
and service modules do not have to duplicate options for specifying
accounts.
It is allowed for modules to inject further options within this
namespace where relevant. For example, an MUA may wish add an option
to add per-account filter rules.

By default, i3-msg gets socket from X11 property
which is not available when home manager is running
as nixos module.
This patch changes i3-msg command call by specifying
all i3 sockets found in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/i3 folder.
Fixes#252.
This removes the need for monolithic unit definitions and allows
users to modify existing units.
Example:
```
{
systemd.user.services.owncloud-client.Unit.OnFailure = "my-notify-service";
}
```
Unfortunately this duplicates some code from NixOS but it does allow
much more flexibility and, hopefully, stability in the Home Manager
documentation.
Fixes#254.
This is needed to support overriding these options inside match
blocks. A new option `programs.ssh.extraOptionOverrides` has been
added to allow global overrides.
This option enables a GPG Agent restricted socket (aka "extra-socket"), which
can be used to forward GPG Agent over SSH.
Additionally `verbose` option enables verbose output of an `gpg-agent.service`
unit for easier debugging.
See: https://wiki.gnupg.org/AgentForwarding
It is safest to use the system install of Nix since that will be
compatible with the running nix-daemon and/or databases.
Also add a printout of the used Nix version in the activation script
when running in verbose mode.
Fixes#218.
Curiously the `who` command sometimes does not list logged-in users,
resulting in systemd not being reloaded. Instead we use
systemctl --user is-system-running
to more directly detect whether systemd is running.
The preferred method of theming rofi is now to use "rasi" theme files.
This commit therefore downplays the colors option and introduces the
theme option.
This is a NixOS module that is intended to be imported into a NixOS
system configuration. It allows the system users to be set up directly
from the system configuration.
The actual profile switch is performed by a oneshot systemd unit per
configured user that acts much like the regular `home-manager switch`
command.
With this implementation, the NixOS module does not work properly with
the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` command. This can be solved by using the
`users.users.<name?>.packages` option to install packages but this
does not work flawlessly with certain Nixpkgs packages. In particular,
for programs using the Qt libraries.
Adds a service for the Stalonetray system tray.
Configured through a 'config' attribute set, which writes space
separated key value pairs on successive lines to `~/.stalonetrayrc`.
Very simple module for hg based on programs.git, and is intended to have
compatible options. For simple setups, a user should be able to write
something like:
{...}:
let vcsconfig = {
enable = true;
userName = "John Smith";
userEmail = "js@example.com";
ignores = [ "*.swp" "*~" ];
};
in
{
programs.git = vcsconfig // {...extra git config...};
programs.mercurial = vcsconfig // {...extra hg confg...};
}
For this reason, the ignore options are `ignores` for `syntax: glob`
and `ignoresRegexp` for `syntax: regexp` so that simple glob ignores
can (very likely) be shared with a git config, despite regular
expressions being the default for mercurial.
This variable adds some extra flexibility in constructing the
`~/.bashrc` file. Currently the option is hidden from public
documentation since the option name is provisional.
In certain cases it makes sense to override the target username and
home directory. In particular, if you're building a configuration for
a remote profile.
This adds the option `home.emptyActivationPath` that, when enabled,
will cause the activation script to ignore the calling user's `PATH`.
The option is disabled by default to match current behavior but the
intent is to change this in the future to reduce risk of accidental
dependencies of the environment.
This avoids a conflict for when the user has an xmonad package
installed through `haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages`, which is
necessary for wanting to load the xmonad config with ghc.
This adds a Parcellite service. It has no configuration options, since
the app has its own mutable preferences dialog, which unconditionally
replaces `~/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc` when preferences are
saved.
Unfortunately systemd derives nonsensical unit names when the unit
file is a link to a link to a file. This commit ensures that any file
whose target path matches the pattern `*/systemd/user/*` will be
reachable with only one link hop.
This also reverts f52ec0df7c, which
contained a temporary fix. This commit is an improvements in that it
is more explicit and also handles unit files given directly as a home
file source.
This is done by exploiting the fact that home files will be copied if
the executable bit of the source file and the target file is
different. This should be considered a hack until some nicer solution
is found.
By sanitizing the home file name in the derivation name, the home file
name is no longer exposed to the naming restrictions for nix store
paths.
For example, it is now possible to define home files with spaces in
their names without providing a target or source attribute.
This removes the deprecated use of `xsession.windowManager` as a
string.
This commit also adjusts the xmonad module to become a full module.
I.e., the backwards compatibility hack was removed.
Forcing fpath to contain unique values increases startup speed by
eliminating extra work of processing duplicated folders.
In addition, it increases startup time when zsh is enabled in both
system and home configuration due to having the same fpath value
between different compinit calls.
Fixes https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/issues/108.
Fixes the error
error: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting IND_STR or
DOLLAR_CURLY or IND_STRING_CLOSE, at

When enabled this module will cause Home Manager to manage the user
environment XDG variables. When disabled, then Home Manager will use
the XDG variables taken from the user environment.
Before this path would point to the modules path. Using the project
root instead makes it possible to set `<home-manager>` to point to a
downloadable archive of Home Manager. This should make it
significantly easier to install and keep Home Manager up to date.
To match this change we also deprecate the Home Manager option
programs.home-manager.modulesPath
and instead ask users to use
programs.home-manager.path
Note, we still pull in the user's `PATH` in case the user has defined
their own activation blocks that depend on additional tools.
Eventually this will be deprecated and removed.
See #99.
The new options allow some control over automounting, notifications,
and the tray icon.
This commit also changes the defaults to automatically mount new
devices, udiskie was previously told not to automount. The change in
behavior is to closer match the default options.
This option gathers basic Vim options into a single place. The idea is
to allow many options without making the Home Manager documentation
too verbose.
This also deprecates the options `programs.vim.lineNumbers` and
`programs.vim.tabSize`.
Fixes#69.
The intention is for the `xsession.windowManager` option to be
available for full modules in the future. The option
`xsession.windowManager.command` should now be used to specify the
window manager startup command.
This adds a readonly package option which will be set to the resulting
configured vim package, so it can be refered to by other configuration.
An example would be home.sessionVariables.EDITOR =
config.programs.vim.package + "/bin/vim".
Same motivation as in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/28378.
zsh.initExtra parameter can be used by external modules which can
redefine user aliases. This change will give user-defined aliases
the highest priority.
This command allows the user to examine the news items generated by
the news module. See #52.
Many thanks to @nonsequitur and @uvNikita for suggestions and
improvements.
1. It slows down the initial start: it takes around 2s at first launch,
and around 0.25s for the following launches;
2. It seems to be redundant since just installing zsh package gives
working completions with correct $fpath set.
Technically not necessary but it was a bit silly to leave out this
important directory from the generation directory. This also makes it
more convenient to browse the installed packages after a
`home-manager build`.
With --ignore-fail-on-non-empty, non-emptiness is the only failure
that gets ignored by rmdir. In the case that rmdir reaches $HOME and
considers deleting it, it will detect insufficient permissions and
subsequently exit with an error, even if $HOME is not empty.
Prevent this by calling rmdir with a relative path that excludes
$HOME.
We must only follow the symbolic link once (i.e., not use the `-e`
option) since otherwise the pattern will not match when
`home.file.xyz.source` is a directory.
If the `home-manager` module is enabled then check if the
`home-manager` package is installed using `nix-env -i` and if so then
it is automatically uninstalled before the new package environment,
which includes home-manager, is installed.
This module is a module to install and configure the home-manager
tool. By managing the home-manager tool through the Home Manager
module system it will be installed/updated on configuration
activation.
Problem
-------
We resolve symlinks from inside `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`
into the nix store as `/nix/store/HASH-DRVNAME` which does not match
the pattern.
This happened to me because I pull in some repos in via `home.file`.
The `home-manager-files` derivation links to the repo's derivation in
the nix store. For example:
let nanorcs = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "scopatz";
repo = "nanorc";
…
}; in [
{
target = ".nano";
source = nanorcs;
}
{
target = ".nanorc";
source = "${nanorcs}/nanorc";
}
]
Solution
--------
Call `readlink` without `-e` to obtain only the first redirection from
`~` to `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`.
When a file has disappeared between the previous and the next
generations then its symlink in `$HOME` is typically deleted. With
this commit we refuse to delete the path unless we are reasonably
certain it is a symlink into a Home Manager generation.
This is a module for managing the GNU info directory for the user
profile. See comments at the top of `modules/programs/info.nix` for
further information.
This commit causes an error to be printed if running under a non-Linux
system when a systemd service, target, or timer is active.
It will also prevent running systemd during activation if running
under a non-Linux system.
In the activation script we expect to use the tools provided by GNU
Core Utilities and GNU Bash. This commit therefore explicitly add
these first in the `PATH` environment variable.
This module generates a `.ssh/config` file. This doesn't embed _all_
options for the ssh client, but the most common ones should be there.
Example usage:
```nix
programs.ssh = {
enable = true;
forwardAgent = true;
controlMaster = "auto";
matchBlocks = [
{
host = "something.blah.edu";
port = 1024;
user = "cleague";
identitiesOnly = true;
}
{
host = "host1 host2 host2.net host2.com";
port = 7422;
hostname = "example.com";
serverAliveInterval = 60;
}
{
host = "lucian";
forwardX11 = true;
forwardX11Trusted = true;
checkHostIP = false;
};
};
};
```
Each entry in `programs.ssh.matchBlocks` must contain a `host` field,
which will be used for the block condition.
This should reduce the risk of overwriting an existing file in the
user's home directory. A file will only be replaced if it is a link
pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store.
If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the
file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation
occurs.
Fixes#6
Previously the home files were not linked if the generation hadn't
changed. Unfortunately, this would mean that, if a file link was
removed for some reason it would not be recreated by running a switch
command.
For example, with these settings Bash will complain if uninitialized
variables are used. Some code has been improved to run cleanly with
these settings.
Nix does not allow files whose name start with a '.' in the Nix store.
This commit makes a not of this fact in the `home.file.source` option
and also adds an assertion verifying that no such file is given.
Closes#4
