Nix flake configurations for macOS and NixOS, with most user configuration managed by Home Manager. main is the maintained branch; the historical macos and rebased-macos branches use an older, disconnected layout.

Configurations

Output	Platform	Status
darwinConfigurations.Hectasio	Apple Silicon macOS	Verified on this Mac
darwinConfigurations.hectasio	Apple Silicon macOS	Alias of Hectasio; not separately verified
darwinConfigurations.coneorange	Apple Silicon macOS	Evaluates; activation unverified
nixosConfigurations.Kreizemm	x86_64 Linux	Declared; not evaluated locally because it requires Linux
nixosConfigurations.Zonnarth	x86_64 Linux	Currently invalid: required user arguments are missing
homeConfigurations.rdamour	Standalone Home Manager	Currently invalid: its configuration omits pkgs

The NixOS and standalone Home Manager outputs are retained as historical machine configurations; do not treat them as supported until they are fixed and tested.

Hectasio

Bootstrap

On a fresh Mac, install Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install), Nix, and Homebrew first. Clone this repository, then perform the initial activation without requiring a preinstalled darwin-rebuild:

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake .#Hectasio

Subsequent rebuilds use the Make targets below.

Rebuild

Run the following from the repository root:

make mac-check  # evaluate the default Hectasio configuration
make mac-build  # build without activating
make mac        # build and activate; prompts for sudo

Override the default host when evaluating another Darwin output:

make mac-check HOST=coneorange

Format Nix files with make fmt. Update pinned inputs with make update, inspect the resulting flake.lock diff, verify the configuration, and commit the lockfile separately. Nix generation rollback does not roll back Homebrew applications.

Recovery

List system generations with sudo darwin-rebuild --list-generations. Roll back to the previous Nix generation with sudo darwin-rebuild switch --rollback, or activate a specific generation with sudo darwin-rebuild switch --switch-generation <number>. Homebrew packages are managed separately and are not reverted by these commands.

macOS fonts

Nix installs DejaVu, Open Sans, Font Awesome, IBM Plex, and Nerd Fonts Symbols. Ghostty, Kitty, and Emacs use Essential PragmataPro, installed separately.

On a fresh Mac, install your licensed Essential PragmataPro Regular and Bold TTF files through Font Book for the current user (~/Library/Fonts). Confirm the family appears as Essential PragmataPro, then restart the terminals and Emacs. The encrypted font copies under secrets/ are not installed by the current configuration.
