How This README Is Generated[^modules-meta-files-readme-nix]

Each section is contributed by whichever module it documents, via text.readme.parts.<name>, and assembled in the order listed by text.readme.order. For example, the Hosts section below comes from [hosts.nix]!(modules/lib/options/hosts.nix), not this file - each module documents itself next to its own definition rather than everything living in one place.

Regenerate after editing any parts.* with:

write-files

(available in the devshell).

Input Management[^modules-meta-inputs-nix]

Inputs are pinned with nixtamal and resolved with with-inputs. There is no flake.lock; pins live in [lock.json]!(nix/tamal/lock.json).

Entry points

File	Purpose
default.nix	Primary entry point; returns full flake outputs
system.nix	Convenience entry point; selects the NixOS config for the current hostname (impure - reads /etc/hostname)
flake.nix	Thin shim so flake-aware tools still work

Switching

nh os switch -f ./system.nix

Updating inputs

nixtamal refresh             # refresh all non-frozen inputs
nixtamal refresh <name>      # refresh one input
nixtamal check-soundness     # verify all fetches resolve

Hosts[^modules-lib-options-hosts-nix]

The set of NixOS hosts is defined via an option which accepts deferred modules. Differentiating the hosts as a subset of the NixOS modules allows us to map over the hosts without string matching.

See usage at [autolycus]!(modules/hosts/autolycus/default.nix).

Closure Checks[^modules-lib-options-closureChecks-nix]

Closure size checks are defined via the closureChecks option. Each entry logs the human-readable closure size; an optional budget field causes the check to fail if the size exceeds it.

See checks at [closureChecks/]!(modules/closureChecks/).
