Nalyx

Personal NixOS configuration with multi-host support: desktop, laptop, WSL, VM, and homelab.

Built with Flakes, Home-Manager, SOPS-nix, and a public/private split using composable flake modules.

Quick Start

switch          # auto-detects hostname and private repo
switch wsl      # specify a host

The private repo is an optional flake that exports NixOS and Home-Manager modules. When present, they overlay config on top of public defaults. When absent, the system builds with safe defaults.

No public module references secrets, private URLs, or knows the private repo exists.
