Nix Hacks

I’ve been using Nix and NixOS for a few years now, and it’s really useful for building, combining and orchestrating things.

Over this time I’ve come up with a few tricks and hacks, many of which turned out to be a bad idea, but some of which are really useful and I use all over the place to this day. These are mostly in my git repos, especially my Nix configuration repo; but since those may change in the future, I’ve just created a new page showing off a bunch of these hacks with the Nix expressions themselves, a little explanation and examples.

I hope it’s useful to someone (most likely, me in the future!) :)
