flakes

fumnanya's personal flake registry of Stuff I'm Not Legally Allowed to Put on Nixpkgs™. ¹

mostly just consists of fonts and flake templates using direnv + nix-direnv:

• programs
  • switcheroo: a wrapper for nixos-rebuild switch
• fonts
  • Apple Color Emoji
  • Helvetica
  • Helvetica Neue
• templates
  • Rust
  • Typst

usage:

to make things easier, you can set a registry and use it in place of the git+... url:

$ nix registry add fum git+https://codeberg.org/fumnanya/flakes 
$ nix flake init -t "fum#rust"

using a template is easy, just nix flake init -t ... and direnv allow:

$ mkdir project
$ cd project
$ nix flake init -t "git+https://codeberg.org/fumnanya/flakes#rust"
$ direnv allow
$ cargo init

using a package is slightly more involved: first, add the repo to your inputs:

# in flake.nix

inputs = {
  # add this 👇
  fum.url = "git+https://codeberg.org/fumnanya/flakes";
};

if you're using NixOS, add inputs to specialArgs:

# in flake.nix

           # bind it here 👇
outputs = { self, ... }@inputs: {
  nixosConfigurations.hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
    specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; # 👈 add it here
  }
}

...then add the packages to your fonts:

# in configuration.nix

{ inputs, ... }: {
  fonts.packages = with inputs.fum.packages.${pkgs.system}; [
    helvetica
    apple-color-emoji
  ];
}

with Home Manager, you need to pass it in with extraSpecialArgs:

# in flake.nix

           # bind it here 👇
outputs = { self, ... }@inputs: {
  nixosConfigurations.hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
    modules = [
      home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
        {                              # add it here 👇
          home-manager.extraSpecialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
        }
    ];
  }
}

and add whatever you need to your packages:

# in home.nix

{ inputs, ... }: {
  home.packages = with inputs.fum.packages.${pkgs.system}; [
    helvetica
    apple-color-emoji
  ];
}

notes

if you use the Apple Color Emoji font, you probably want to set it up to override others...Nix and Home Manager have options for this:

# in configuration.nix or home.nix

fonts.fontconfig = {
  enable = true; # excl. to HM
  defaultFonts = {
    emoji = [ "Apple Color Emoji" ];
  };
};

# exclusive to Home Manager...
# ...makes it work better on non-NixOS
targets.genericLinux.enable = true;

you can also modify your fontconfig to do this instead, an example is here.
