From 4937d0d6f29895b514dcf8cd20c73a1aec446144 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom van der Lee Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:12:24 +0200 Subject: Archive four completed changes, sync main specs add-nix-flake-bootstrap, add-host-bootstrap-script, add-dotfiles-stow-bootstrap, and add-developer-environment all had every task complete (verified via a real nix flake check and a real NixOS host build). Archived in dependency order so the two changes sharing the nix-flake-bootstrap capability merged additively. Main specs now exist for the first time: nix-flake-bootstrap (10 requirements), dotfiles-management (4), developer-environment (4). add-gnome-desktop remains active (not yet implemented). --- .../specs/nix-flake-bootstrap/spec.md | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 47 insertions(+) create mode 100644 openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-18-add-nix-flake-bootstrap/specs/nix-flake-bootstrap/spec.md (limited to 'openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-18-add-nix-flake-bootstrap/specs/nix-flake-bootstrap') diff --git a/openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-18-add-nix-flake-bootstrap/specs/nix-flake-bootstrap/spec.md b/openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-18-add-nix-flake-bootstrap/specs/nix-flake-bootstrap/spec.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3fc0055 --- /dev/null +++ b/openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-18-add-nix-flake-bootstrap/specs/nix-flake-bootstrap/spec.md @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +## Purpose + +Provides a single Nix flake that provisions NixOS hosts from a copyable template and provisions a shared, cross-platform home-manager user profile that installs standalone on non-NixOS systems, keeping both paths built from the same per-user module. + +## ADDED Requirements + +### Requirement: Shared home profile across activation methods +The system SHALL apply the same home-manager user profile (shell, git, editor, CLI tools) whether it is activated as part of a NixOS system build or activated standalone via `home-manager switch` on a non-NixOS system. + +#### Scenario: NixOS-activated profile matches standalone profile +- **WHEN** a NixOS host built with the `mkNixos` helper activates its `home-manager.users.tom` configuration +- **THEN** the resulting user environment includes the same programs and settings as the `homeConfigurations."tom@linux"` output built with the `mkHome` helper, because both consume the same `users/tom.nix` module + +### Requirement: Standalone installation requires no root privileges +The system SHALL allow the shared home profile to be installed on any non-NixOS system without modifying system-level configuration or requiring root/sudo. + +#### Scenario: Standalone home-manager switch +- **WHEN** a user with Nix installed runs `home-manager switch --flake .#tom@linux` on a non-NixOS Linux system +- **THEN** only the user's home directory is modified and no root privileges are required + +### Requirement: NixOS host template is not a live flake output +The system SHALL provide a NixOS host template directory that is not wired into any `nixosConfigurations` output, so it cannot be accidentally built or installed before being customized for real hardware. + +#### Scenario: Flake check does not build the template +- **WHEN** `nix flake check` is run against the repository +- **THEN** no `nixosConfigurations` entry evaluates or builds the `hosts/template` directory directly + +### Requirement: Flakes remain enabled on installed NixOS systems +Every NixOS host built from this flake SHALL have the `nix-command` and `flakes` experimental features enabled by default, so subsequent `nixos-rebuild` invocations do not require extra flags. + +#### Scenario: Rebuilding after install needs no extra flags +- **WHEN** a NixOS system installed from this flake is rebuilt with `nixos-rebuild switch --flake #` +- **THEN** the command succeeds without passing `--extra-experimental-features` + +### Requirement: Per-host and per-user state versions are explicit +Each NixOS host and each home-manager user configuration SHALL declare its own `system.stateVersion` / `home.stateVersion` value; the shared helper functions SHALL NOT supply a default value. + +#### Scenario: Missing stateVersion fails evaluation +- **WHEN** a host or user configuration omits its `stateVersion` setting +- **THEN** evaluating that configuration fails rather than silently falling back to a shared default + +### Requirement: Repository evaluates under pure evaluation +The flake's `homeConfigurations` and check outputs defined in this change SHALL evaluate and build using only pure evaluation, without requiring the `--impure` flag. + +#### Scenario: Pure flake check succeeds +- **WHEN** `nix flake check` is run without `--impure` +- **THEN** it completes successfully for all outputs defined in this change -- cgit v1.3
