Improve our mkHost functions to be less repetitive #36

Closed llakala closed 3 weeks ago

llakala commented 3 weeks ago

After redoing the functions to be simpler, they end up resulting in a usage like this: 

framework = myLib.mkNixos
{
  hostname = "framework";
};

The repetition of the hostname here is a bit silly. Ideally, it would create the hostname without the need to over-specify it.

Also, searching things like mkHost, mkSystem, mkNixos, mkHome, etc on Github would probably give other helpful examples.

For an overengineered example, this one is awesome: https://github.com/Gerschtli/nix-config/blob/fe9549e6e398c0c35bf22bd29a6ecb92ba19e7de/flake.nix

Done, with huge thanks to @MattSturgeon for having a wonderful resource with guessUsername and guessHostname.
