<madonius[m]>
is there any way to tell the home-manager to automatically update?
<SumnerEvans[m]>
I don't see any such options, but you could just create your own systemd service for that.
<madonius[m]>
well nixos itself has such a functionality
<madonius[m]>
but yeah, I will have a look into it
<madonius[m]>
cause it bugs me :/

madonius[m]: The NixOS functionality is just a simple systemd unit that calls nixos-rebuild (with a tiny bit of logic to figure out if a reboot is needed) + a timer. You can use systemd.user.services and systemd.user.timers to build that in home-manager for calling `home-manager switch`.

You'd also have to update the channels.
<__monty__>
Though I guess the NixOS service may take care of that if it's enabled?

It uses `--upgrade` for `nixos-rebuild`. I don't think that one updates user channels, so, yeah, you'll want to do a `nix-channel --update`, optionally with the channel name you use for home-manager.

Hello excellent ppl. New NixOS user here with a question about home-manager's NixOS module installation method. I have my configuration.nix installing home-manager as a NixOS module just great now. Working fine. But the next peice of the puzzle for me I'm having a tough time with. I want configuration.nix to not just install 'home-manager' for my user, but to also pull down my users
<Lord_Devi>
'home-manager' configuration when building a new system. Can anyone give me pointers about what the best approach for achieving this might be?
<Lord_Devi>
I've spent quite a bit of time going through other people's .nix configurations to try and figure that part out, but can't find any examples of anyone else doing that. Seems like most people want to do the NixOS install in 2 parts. 1. Install the OS, 2. Install home-manager and setup a user profile. Would be so much cooler to just have configuration.nix chain off to home-manager to do its
<Lord_Devi>
thing I'm thinking.
<ScottHDev5>
Nixos os system configuration shouldn't touch anything in /home
<ScottHDev5>
but you could configure a startup script to do so
<Lord_Devi>
So that's why I am not finding examples of other people doing that. It's part of the Nix way of doing things. Not letting configuration.nix do /home stuff... Ok ok. I was wondering about that.
<nicolas[m]>
When using Home Manager as a NixOS/Darwin module, you can set a user's configuration with `home-manager.users.<name>`
<Lord_Devi>
Thanks Scott.
<Lord_Devi>
Yeah I have the NixOS module JUST installing pkgs.home-manager through the use of home-manager.use* declarations.
<Lord_Devi>
So really, the best approach IS to keep this a 2 step process? (Setting up a new nix machine.)
<Lord_Devi>
1. Install the OS. 2. Login as a user, and load up home-manager to pull down the user config?
<__monty__>
I don't think you have to. Though, why not include your HM configuration in the repo with your NixOS configuration at that point?
<Lord_Devi>
nicolas: Yeah thanks. I managed to get that part working, but I wasn't trying to handle ALL of my users config from the NixOS home-manager module. I just wanted NixOS to install home-manager FOR me, and then to have home-manager 'instantiate' my custom user environment on build through the use of the actual home-manager command. So I have access to all its features and such.

<Lord_Devi>
Yeah ok. Alright monty.
<Lord_Devi>
I think you guys are right, I should just drop this idea of chaining the two. I've seen plenty of examples with neat little scripts they've dumped into a remote URL they can call with something like "sh https://mydom.com/installhome.sh" kind of stuff. I think maybe I'll take that approach instead.

Lord_Devi: I'd simply try out the idea. If it doesn't work we'll all have a good reason to tell people why not in the future. If it does work maybe others will adopt it. Though I still think maintaining two repos in sync is probably more trouble for no benefit.
<Lord_Devi>
I love 'fire and forget' technologies for sure. :P
