hi everyone
<DamienCassou>
why is there a syncthing service in home-manager and another (much larger) one in nixos? What is the difference? Is there a reason to use the one of home-manager?
<energizer>
the hm one is at the user level
<energizer>
someone could port the nixos one to hm, that would be nice
<DamienCassou>
in my config, I have `services.syncthing.enable = true;` with `services.syncthing.systemService=false;` and then `systemctl --user enable syncthing`
<DamienCassou>
I think this activates the package's unit file

rycee: home-manager.service suggests restarting the polybar user service when you update the module. is it not possible to automatically restart it on rebuild switch?

rycee: thanks! I also have this issue with polybar where the systemd log says the start request was repeated too quickly. I think it occurs for good reason the first time (i.e. I actually did try to restart it too quickly in succession), but once it occurs, it happens every subsequent time I restart, no matter how long I wait. Any ideas?
<hpfr[m]>
never mind, I was looking at too short a log from systemctl status. the journalctl shows that I'm only seeing the result of an automatic restart after it fails due to a config error
<DamienCassou>
I've successfully switch my bash, notmuch and msmtp configuration to home-manager. It looks great so far. Thank you. Looking forward migrating more

home-manager has several options of type `string` that I would not like to inline within the nix file. Can I ask home-manager to read the content of this string from a file instead?
<DamienCassou>
for example, I would like to be able to do something like `programs.notmuch.hooks.postNew = lib.readFile ./hooks/post-new`
<NobbZ[m]>
IIRC there is `builtins.readFile`
<DamienCassou>
thank you. I'm trying

But as far as I know, it will still reside in your /nix/store, if it is because of privacy concerns DamienCassou

I just didn't wanted to put a large bash script in the middle of my nix conf
<eyJhb>
DamienCassou: could also put it into another .nix file, and import it :p
<eyJhb>
That way you have it a single place, but depends on your setup

I prefer to have bash scripts in a bash file so I get syntax highlighting and linting

DamienCassou: For larger bash script you also can use the substituteAll function from nixpkgs. This way you can produce a pure bash script, where you force set the path

DamienCassou: With that you can write your script as .sh file, but things like the interperter and the PATH are exchanged by nix, so that this script is pure and does not depend on your environment

rycee: I think we should extend the issue template to incude some form of system info, like `nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"`.
<DamienCassou>
kloenk: good, thank you
<kloenk>
rycee: maybe even adapt nix-info to detect if on nixos the user is using hone-manager via the nixos module, or via home.nix

rycee: Is it possible to use the firefox module with a homebrew installed firefox?
<__monty__>
Or an expression that simply fetches a dmg and unpacks that?

rycee: And how do I find the addonId and the download url? It's not obvious to me from the mozilla addons page.
<__monty__>
Found the URL by spoofing the useragent. Still looking for the addonid.

is it normal that home-manager doesn't use /etc/set-environment ?

my problem is that have environment.homeBinInPath set to true, but that users that use HM don't have ~/bin in $PATH
<NobbZ[m]>
`/etc` doesn't sound like "home"…
quinn has joined #home-manager
<NobbZ[m]>
Oh, I think I understand now. "regular" users have `~/bin` in `PATH` because something sources `/etc/set-environment` for them, though your users that use `home-manager` do not that in `PATH`?
<pistache>
NobbZ[m]: exactly

Sadly all I can say, that neither in my `~` (using HM), nor in my sons `~` (not using HM) is any reference to that file…
<NobbZ[m]>
Did a `find ~ -type f -exec grep -n set-environment '{}' +` in each
