This Nix flake provides a robust and automated solution for managing dotfiles for multiple users on NixOS systems. It is centered around tuckr and leverages NixOS modules and systemd services for automation.

1. Convention over configuration: Follows a declarative management philosophy, reducing tedious configuration.
2. Link status visibility: You can easily check which dotfiles have been successfully linked.
3. JSON output for link status: Useful for further processing and automation.

• Multi-user dotfiles management: Easily configure and manage tuckr for each user on NixOS.
• Automatic conflict handling: Existing files or directories are automatically backed up before attempting to create symbolic links.
• Systemd integration: Works closely with systemd services, automatically handling dotfiles with logs after system boot or rebuild.
• Configurable backups: Custom suffixes can be specified for backup files and directories.
• Instant configuration application: Changes take effect automatically after a system rebuild—no manual intervention needed.

1. Add the input to your flake.nix:

{
  description = "Your NixOS configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    tuckr-nix.url = "github:lonerOrz/tuckr-nix";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, tuckr-nix, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.yourhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        ./configuration.nix
        tuckr-nix.tuckrModules.tuckr
      ];
    };
  };
}

2. Configure users in configuration.nix:

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:

{
  tuckr.enable = true;

  tuckr.users = {
    loner = {
      enable = true;
      dotPath = "~/.config/tuckr";
      backupSuffix = "bakup";
      group = {
        fzf.enable = true;
        nvim.enable = false;
      };
    };

    # Other users
    # anotheruser = { ... };
  };
}

3. Rebuild the system:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

After rebuilding, the tuckr-auto-resolver-<username> systemd service will automatically activate and manage the configured users' dotfiles.

1. Declarative generation of dotfiles
2. Support for Nix store
3. Additional automation strategies
4. Git integration
