Nix permits user level configurations through ~/.config/nix/nix.conf that allow
customization of system-wide settings and behavior. This is beneficial in chroot
environments and for per-user configurations. System level Nix configurations in the
form of /etc/nix/nix.conf can be specified declaratively via the NixOS nix module but as
of currently no counter part exists in home-manager.
This PR is a port of the RFC42 implementation for the NixOS nix module[1]
to home-manager. Non-applicable options have been excluded and the config generation
backends have been tweaked to the backends offered by home-manager. A notable change
from the NixOS module is a mandatory option to specify the Nix binary corresponding
to the version "nix.conf" should be generated against. This is necessary because
the validation phase is dependent on the `nix show-config` subcommand on the host platform.
While it is possible to avoid validation entirely, the lack of type checking was deemed too significant.
In NixOs, the version information can be retrieved from the `package` option itself which
declares the Nix binary system-wide. However in home-manager, there is no pure way to
detect the system Nix version and what state version the "nix.conf" should be generated
against. Thus an option is used to overcome this limitation by forcing the user to
specify the Nix package. Note this interaction can still be automated by forwarding
the system-wide Nix package to the home-manager module if needed.
Three unit tests were added to test the module behavior for the empty settings, the example
settings and the example registry configurations respectively.
[1] - NixOS/nixpkgs#139075
* gtk: add cursor theme configuration
- Added the `cursorTheme` under the gtk module.
- Added tests for the gtk3 settings file generation, and renamed
the gtk2 unit test expected file for clarity.
- Added guard against generating a blank `gtk.css` when `cfg.extraCss`
is empty.
- Replaced `concatMapStrings` calls with `concatStringsSep`. The library function
`concatMapStrings` generates an intemediate list which is then passed to
`concatStringsSep`, As we are not performing other transformation except
the addition of newlines, a direct call to `concatStringsSep` is sufficient.
- Updated description of examples to be more general "~/.config" -> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME".
- Update helper functions `toGtk3Ini` and `formatGtk2Option` to use the library
function `boolToString` and escape the separator in the key name.
* xcursor: delegate GTK cursor settings to gtk.cursorTheme
- Added deprecation warning for GTK settings in the `xsession.cursorTheme` module.
- Modified config section to use `gtk.cursorTheme` for GTK cursor settings.
Note, the pubs configuration file uses ConfigObj syntax, which is
similar to the INI files syntax but with extra functionalities like
nested sections. This prevents it from using Nix's INI format
generator. Here is an example of pubs configuration that cannot be
generated using Nix's INI format generator:

For this reason, we opted for a stringly-typed configuration since the
use of a structured `settings` option would require a custom parser.
Watson is a CLI for tracking your time.
Two unit tests were added to validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
Based on nixpkgs commit c4b3aa62608d592d8a983be685f7e82000f4de30
stringBool is not needed because makeDesktopItem handles converting boolean parameters to string,
and noDisplay and prefersNonDefaultGPU parameters have been added.
Swayidle is an idle management daemon for Wayland. This modules adds support for
running swayidle as a SystemD user unit and makes it configurable through
home-manager.
Write YubiKey token IDs in the format yubico_pam expects. See

the NixOS option security.pam.services.<name>.yubicoAuth.
Closes#2502
Currently, dot directories and XDG base directories are used
inconsistently in the Home Manager option declarations. This creates
ambiguity for the user as to where the location of the file should be
albeit this is rarely encountered in practice as it is sufficient to
read upstream documentation. The rationale is to make declarations
consistent and make a clear distinction between hardcoded and modular
specifications.
References to ~/.config in relevant nixpkgs modules were untouched as
the location is hardcoded upstream[1]. Furthermore, modules of
programs which do not follow XDG specifications were also untouched.
Generalization of tilde(~) expansions to $HOME were also considered,
however there isn't sufficient rationale despite the use of $HOME
being more universal. The expansion is standardized in POSIX[2] and is
essentially portable across all shells, thus there is no pragmatic
value to introducing the change.

Swaynag is a replacement of i3-nag for sway. Swaynag is embedded in
Sway's build process albeit it is not an integral part of Sway,
therefore it has been added under `wayland.windowManager.sway` instead
of `programs`. It can be moved at a later time if necessary.
Two unit tests were added validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
This commit introduces the `nixpkgs-disabled` module, that is
basically a mock of `nixpkgs` module where any value different from
`null` will cause an assertion error.
This is to help debugging cases where `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is
set to `true` and `nixpkgs.*` options are being used.
Nowadays this returns the following error:
```
error: The option `home-manager.users.<user>.nixpkgs` does not exist.
```
This will change too:
```
error: `nixpkgs` options are disabled when `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is enabled.
```
That will direct the user to the correct solution (either removing
`nixpkgs` or disable `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs`).
nnn is a terminal file manager.
It is configured mostly using environment variables, so the way I
found it to avoid needing to write either shell specific code or
using `home.sessionVariables` (that would need to make the user
relogin at every configuration change) is to wrap the program using
`wrapProgram`.
This commit adds a module for configuring atuin, a replacement shell
history program.
The module adds options for generating atuin's `config.toml` from Nix,
and options to enable atuin's integration for bash and zsh
(which will rebind history keys to open the atuin history).
* screen-locker: Make xautolock optional, reorganize options
xautolock isn't really needed to trigger xss-lock on the basis of time
since the built-in screensaver functionality of X serves as one of the
event sources for xss-lock. Keeping it around and defaulting to
"enabled" to avoid unexpected breakage.
Also shuffled around the options to submodules for xss-lock and
xautolock to get rid of prefixes in option names and to make
enableDetectSleep a bit clearer.
* screen-locker: update maintainership
* tests/screen-locker: Stub i3lock and xss-lock
* screen-locker: add package options for xss-lock and xautolock
Currently, when a custom path is set for any of the XDG base
directories (i.e XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, ...), the path will
be coerced into a string when consumed by other options such as
xdg.configFile et al. This causes the the given path to be copied to
the nix store which in the case of xdg.configFile et al, translate to
the file being written there as it is a absolute path.
Interestingly, the default base directories all work as intended as
they are encoded as a string.
This commit converts the option to a string regardless of whether it
is a primitive path or a string encoded path. This allows downstream
consumers to use the base directories in arbitrary way without
accidentally copying the content of the directory to the store. It is
implemented in a similar manner as how home.homeDirectory undergoes
string conversion.
The existing file-attr-name test was modified to test also custom xdg
base directories, and the home.file generation test was removed as
there is a dedicated test for this case in the files module. The test
case was renamed to file-gen to better reflect the new scope.

* pulseeffects: change default example
pulseeffects-pw is now an alias to easyeffects, and the `pulseeffects` binary
that this module references is no longer in that package.
* easyeffects: add module
The easyeffects service is the PipeWire equivalent of the pulseeffects
service.
Before, loading a module would be guarded by an optional platform
condition. This made it possible to avoid loading and evaluating a
module if it did not support the host platform.
Unfortunately, this made it impossible to share a single configuration
between GNU/Linux and Darwin hosts, which some wish to do.
This removes the conditional load and instead inserts host platform
assertions in the modules that are platform specific.
Fixes#1906
`rbw` is a stand-alone Bitwarden client, which makes use of a daemon to
cache your password and manage state.
Its configuration can be managed by `home-manager` or not, leaving the
user free to configure it through `rbw config`.
* xdg-desktop-entries: add module
rebase
* xdg-desktop-entries: adapt to changes in makeDesktopItem
This package depends on the makeDesktopItem function in nixpkgs, which recently changed its syntax:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91790
This commit makes the module compatible with the new syntax.
It also exposes the fileValidation option in makeDesktopItem.

Foot is a fast terminal emulator for Wayland. It can optionally be run
in a client-server configuration.
There are three unit tests to handle an empty configuration, the
default configuration, and systemd service file generation.
There is a need to manage XDG Base Directory system directory
environment variables in Home Manager modules. There is an existing
mechanism in `targets.genericLinux.extraXdgDataDirs', but this does not
apply to NixOS systems.
Furthermore, it is important that `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS' and `XDG_DATA_DIRS'
are set in both login shells (to support getty and SSH sessions) as well
as the systemd user manager (to propagate them to user services and
desktop environments).
The first need is addressed by adding the `xdg.systemDirs' module, which
configures lists of directory names for both `config' and `data'
directories. These are then set in
`$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/environment.d/10-home-manager.conf' and picked up by
the systemd user manager.
To make these, and other variables set in
`systemd.user.sessionVariables', available in login shells, an
additional step is added to `etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh' which
exports the result of
`user-environment-generators/30-systemd-environment-d-generator' which
is shipped with systemd. The effect of this generator is to print
variables set on the systemd user manager such that shells can import
these into their environment.
`nix-index` is a tool to quickly locate the package providing a certain
file in `nixpkgs`. It indexes built derivations found in binary caches.
This module adds the shell integration for its `command-not-found`
script for interactive shells.
