Flake support #40

Closed andrevmatos closed 2 years ago

andrevmatos commented 3 years ago

How to get to a system built from a flake? I'm currently using flake-utils-plus to build and manage my main system, and it has a hosts options which allows to output multiple hosts as outputs, while sharing channels (inputs), overlays and modules between them.

It'd be great to be able to use nixos-shell to boot one of these hosts directly, and have that documented. Not sure how to handle the custom config.nixos-shell on this context though. Sharing modules may make it easier to get into a nixos-shell without mounting home.

This is not implemented. nixos-shell relies on many impure features. Just grep for getEnv: https://github.com/Mic92/nixos-shell/blob/master/share/nixos-shell/nixos-shell.nix
