This repo and readme describes how I configure and manage my packages on a linux sytem. There are three programs required:
- git (to clone this repo)
- ansible (to run the playbook)
- nix (to install all the packages)
For this to work Ansible has to be installed.
Create a file or folder for every config and add it to the ansible-playbook. Then run the following command to create all the symlinks to the correct locations.
ansible-playbook create_symlinks.yaml
Packeges are installed with the nix package manager. Flakes are used to install the packages in a declarative manner.
Flakes have to be enabled before the can be used. By running the playbook mentiond in the previous section the nix.conf file is created which should enable flakes.
Then you can run the following commands.
To update the packages run.
nix flake update
