Flake to combine it with home-manager #80

Closed ShalokShalom closed 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, its not really clear, how to combine home-manager with system-manager. I hope for some form of template, that showcases how to integrate the two.

Describe the solution you'd like

Standards are important. From my limited experience, it seems like combining system-manager with home-manager seems to be best done via a Flake.

Considering both can describe packages (eg, have some overlap) I think its save to say, its sensible to find a standard solution, to combine the two projects.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Running them side by side?

Additional context

I think its worth considering, to ship system-manager with home-manager integrated by default. People who are looking for one, probably also look for the other. Also, system-manager aims to provide the NixOS experience on non-NixOS.

I think combining the two projects in an elegant way goes a long way towards that. Thank you very much ❤️

I would love to see this especially for configuring my nix profile apps and theme.

I figured, that those two files are supposed to be separate.

The Flake file can go whereever you want.

Can you clarify what you mean? How did you integrate home-manager?

ShalokShalom commented 7 months ago

I didnt. Home-manager is not to be integrated with system manager. They are intended to run separately.
