Configuring NixOS Systems with Flakes
Configure NixOS systems with flakes, manage overlays properly, and structure configurations for maintainability.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Read Before Making Changes
BEFORE making ANY NixOS configuration changes, you MUST:
- Review relevant rule files from the Quick Reference below
- Check common-mistakes.md to avoid known pitfalls
- Check troubleshooting.md for systematic debugging approach
- Follow existing patterns in the codebase
Do NOT start coding until you've read the applicable documentation.
Most configuration errors happen from not reading the rules first. The 5 minutes you spend reading will save hours of debugging.
