Now I don't have to wait for anything to be included in nixos-unstable
and can simply merge whatever I want whenever I want. This also has the
advantage of not having to specify which input is needed to get a
package from.
Mainly a proof of concept. Eventually I'll devise an easy way to view
notes in a pretty way and edit them with neovim (likely through your
typical web framework tools).
Unfortunately, some files may require the use of document editing
software like libreoffice. Fortunately, systemd-nspawn containers enable
us to ensure that these documents do not have access to the internet.
Previously I decided against using srb2 in a container due to the poor
performance I experienced. Since I figured out how to use the graphics
from the host inside of the container, performance is no longer an
issue.
Note that this container uses home-manager from the Nix flake on the
host system, which is pretty cool.
Currently modules in this repository *don't* differentiate between
home-manager and nixos, but this could be changed in the future to
support e.g. my home-manager neovim config on a non-nixos system.
This fixes an issue where containers caused the boot process to slow
down, especially those that relied on mounting directories only
available once a graphical session has already started.
I figured out how to get wine working on Nix, and it works surprisingly
well, however I'd like to avoid programs from writing wherever they want
and don't want to rely on a solution like firejail.
As it turns out, systemd-nspawn containers enable us to run wine applications
in a reasonably private container without access to neither the files of the
host nor its internet connection.
