However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] VicentAdultman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn't had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was... something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Johanno@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* Well documentation is still not great. But I can deal with it. The first step is to really understand how nix works and how nix-shell -p works. Then probably know that autoPatchelfHook exists And sth. You have to watch out for if you install sth. With a daemon or a service you need to enable it additionally to the installation. So for example for open-iscsi you need to enable the service.open-iscsi = enable so it can work. Flakes are still a nogo for me. I don't understand them and I don't want to deal with them until I get the rest into my head. permalink fedilink source parent
