Project preview

🌟 Overview

Nichijou is a comprehensive Nix configuration framework designed for seamless daily computing across multiple platforms. Named after the Japanese word for “everyday life” (日常), this project provides a cohesive environment for development and system management using the power of Nix and the flakes ecosystem.

✨ Features

🖥️ Cross-platform Support: Configurations for both NixOS (Linux) and Darwin (macOS)
🏠 Home Manager Integration: Comprehensive user environment management
🧰 Development Suites: Ready-to-use configurations for various programming languages:
- Rust, Python, JavaScript, C/C++, and Nix development environments
🔐 Secrets Management: Secure configuration using sops-nix
🖲️ Terminal Suite: Curated collection of modern terminal tools
- Includes tmux, starship, eza, zoxide, kitty, btop and more
📦 Binary Cache: Configured with multiple binary caches for faster builds

🏗️ Architecture

Nichijou follows a modular structure based on the Snowfall library:

Systems: Machine-specific configurations
- hakase: Desktop NixOS workstation
- nano: Mac Mini (Apple Silicon)
- sakamoto: MacBook Pro (Intel)
Homes: User-specific home configurations
Modules: Reusable configuration modules
- Common modules for both NixOS and Darwin
- Platform-specific modules

🖥️ System Management

Nichijou leverages several powerful NixOS/nix-darwin features:

Flakes: Reproducible builds and dependencies
Home Manager: User environment management
Sops-nix: Encrypted secrets management
Binary Caches: Fast package deployment

🌿 Built on Giants

This project stands on the shoulders of the Nix ecosystem:

Snowfall: Structural framework
Nix-Darwin: macOS system management
Home-Manager: User environment configuration
Catppuccin: Beautiful theming across applications
Sops-nix: Secure secrets management
