In some cases, it may be desirable to take advantage of commonly-used,
|
|
|
|
|
predefined configurations provided by nixpkgs, but different from those
|
2022-12-21 21:24:48 +01:00
|
|
|
that come as default. This is a role fulfilled by NixOS's Profiles,
|
2021-09-08 09:35:45 +02:00
|
|
|
which come as files living in `<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles>`. That
|
|
|
|
|
is to say, expected usage is to add them to the imports list of your
|
|
|
|
|
`/etc/configuration.nix` as such:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
|
|
|
imports = [
|
|
|
|
|
<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/profile-name.nix>
|
|
|
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if some of these profiles seem only useful in the context of
|
|
|
|
|
install media, many are actually intended to be used in real installs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What follows is a brief explanation on the purpose and use-case for each
|
|
|
|
|
profile. Detailing each option configured by each one is out of scope.
