Chaotic's Nyx

Nix flake for "too much bleeding-edge" and unreleased packages (e.g., mesa_git, linux_cachyos, firefox_nightly, sway_git, gamescope_git). And experimental modules (e.g., HDR, duckdns).

From the Chaotic Linux User Group (LUG), the same one that maintains Chaotic-AUR! 🧑🏻‍💻

The official source-code repository is available as "chaotic-cx/nyx" at GitHub.

How to use it

On NixOS

We recommend integrating this repo using Flakes:


{
  description = "My configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    chaotic.url = "github:chaotic-cx/nyx/nyxpkgs-unstable";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, chaotic, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix # Your system configuration.
          chaotic.nixosModules.default # OUR DEFAULT MODULE
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

In your configuration.nix enable the packages and options that you prefer:


{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.input-leap-git ];
  chaotic.mesa-git.enable = true;
}

On Home-Manager

This method is for home-manager setups without NixOS.

We recommend integrating this repo using Flakes:


{
  description = "My configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    chaotic.url = "github:chaotic-cx/nyx/nyxpkgs-unstable";
    home-manager = {
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, chaotic, ... }: {
    homeConfigurations = {
      hostname = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
        pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
        modules = [
          ./home-manager/default.nix
          chaotic.homeManagerModules.default # OUR DEFAULT MODULE
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

In your home-manager/default.nix add a nix.package, and enable the desired packages:


{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  nix.package = pkgs.nix;
  home.packages = [ pkgs.input-leap-git ];
}

Running packages (without installing)

Besides using our module/overlay, you can run packages (without installing them) using:


nix run github:chaotic-cx/nyx/nyxpkgs-unstable#firefox_nightly

Binary Cache notes

You'll get the binary cache added to your configuration as soon as you add our default module. We do this automatically, so we can gracefully update the cache's address and keys without prompting you for manual work.

If you dislike this behavior for any reason, you can disable it with chaotic.nyx.cache.enable = false.

Remember: If you want to fetch derivations from our cache, you'll need to enable our module and rebuild your system before adding these derivations to your configuration.

Commands like nix run ..., nix develop ..., and others, when using our flake as input, will ask you to add the cache interactively when missing from your user's nix settings.

If you want to use the cache right from the installation media, install your system using nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/nixos#mymachine --option 'extra-substituters' 'https://nyx.chaotic.cx/' --option extra-trusted-public-keys "chaotic-nyx.cachix.org-1:HfnXSw4pj95iI/n17rIDy40agHj12WfF+Gqk6SonIT8=" (replace mymachine with your new host's name).

FlakeHub notes

Add chaotic to your flake.nix, make sure to use the rolling *.tar.gz to keep using the latest packages:


{
  inputs.chaotic.url = "https://flakehub.com/f/chaotic-cx/nyx/*.tar.gz";
}

Then follow one of the guides above.

Harder stuff

Some packages are harder to use, I'll go into details in the following paragraphs.

Using linux-cachyos with sched-ext

Since sched-ext patches have been added to linux-chachyos, you can just use that kernel.

First, add this to your configuration:


{
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_cachyos;
  environment.systemPackages =  [ pkgs.scx ];
}

Then, with the new kernel booted, check if the correct kernel booted:


╰─λ zgrep 'SCHED_CLASS' /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y

The last step is to start a scheduler:


╰─λ sudo scx_rusty
21:38:53 [INFO] CPUs: online/possible = 24/32
21:38:53 [INFO] DOM[00] cpumask 00000000FF03F03F (20 cpus)
21:38:53 [INFO] DOM[01] cpumask 0000000000FC0FC0 (12 cpus)
21:38:53 [INFO] Rusty Scheduler Attached

There are other scx_* binaries for you to play with, or head to github.com/sched-ext/scx for instructions on how to write one of your own.

Using qtile from git


{
  services.xserver.windowManager.qtile = {
    enable = true;
    backend = "wayland";
    package = pkgs.qtile-module_git;
    extraPackages = _pythonPackages: [ pkgs.qtile-extras_git ];
  };
  # if you want a proper wayland+qtile session, and/or a "start-qtile" executable in PATH:
  chaotic.qtile.enable = true;
}

Notes

Our branches

:godmode: Our nyxpkgs-unstable branch is the one that's always cached.

:shipit: The main branch is the primary target for contribution.

Contributions

We do accept third-party authored PRs.

Upstream to nixpkgs

If you are interested in pushing any of these packages to the upstream nixpkgs, you have our blessing.

If one of our contributors is mentioned in the deveriation's mantainers list (in this repository) please keep it when pushing to nixpkgs. But, please, tag us on the PR so we can participate in the reviewing.

Forks and partial code-taking

You are free to use our code, or portions of our code, following the MIT license restrictions.

Suggestions

If you have any suggestion to enhance our packages, modules, or even the CI's codes, let us know through the GitHub repo's issues.

Building over the user's pkgs

For cache reasons, Chaotic-Nyx now defaults to always use nixpkgs as provider of its dependencies.

If you need to change this behavior, set chaotic.nyx.onTopOf = "user-pkgs";. Be warned that you mostly won't be able to benefit from our binary cache after this change.

You can also disable our overlay entirely by configuring chaotic.nyx.overlay.enable = false;.

Why am I building a kernel? Basic cache troubleshooting

For starters, suppose you're using our linuxPackages_cachyos as the kernel and an up-to-date flake lock. Check if all these three hashes prompt the same:


╰─λ nix eval 'github:chaotic-cx/nyx/nyxpkgs-unstable#linuxPackages_cachyos.kernel.outPath'
"/nix/store/441qhriiz5fa4l3xvvjw3h4bps7xfk08-linux-6.8.7"

╰─λ nix eval 'chaotic#linuxPackages_cachyos.kernel.outPath'
"/nix/store/441qhriiz5fa4l3xvvjw3h4bps7xfk08-linux-6.8.7"

╰─λ nix eval '/etc/nixos#nixosConfigurations.{{HOSTNAME}}.config.boot.kernelPackages.kernel.outPath'
"/nix/store/441qhriiz5fa4l3xvvjw3h4bps7xfk08-linux-6.8.7"

If the second is different from the first, you're probably adding a inputs.nixpkgs.follows to chaotic, simply remove it.

If the third is different from the first, you're most likely using an overlay that's changing the kernel or one of its dependencies; check your nixpkgs.overlays config.

If they all match, and you're still rebuilding the kernel, copy the hash from the result above, then change it in the following curl command:


╰─λ curl -L 'https://nyx.chaotic.cx/441qhriiz5fa4l3xvvjw3h4bps7xfk08.narinfo'

If the command above fails without an 404, then you have an issue with your internet connection. If it fails with 404, then tag pedrohlc (Matrix, Telegram or GitHub), he really broke the cache.

If the command succeeds, and you're still building the cache, it can happen because of two things: (1) you might have tried to fetch said package before we deployed, then Nix will cache the 404 and won't try again; (2) you might have a misconfigured /etc/nix/nix.conf or outdated nix-daemon.

For the second one, check if it looks like this (the word “chaotic” should appear three times):


╰─λ grep chaotic /etc/nix/nix.conf
substituters = https://nix-community.cachix.org/ https://nyx.chaotic.cx/ https://cache.nixos.org/
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= nix-community.cachix.org-1:mB9FSh9qf2dCimDSUo8Zy7bkq5CX+/rkCWyvRCYg3Fs= nyx.chaotic.cx-1:HfnXSw4pj95iI/n17rIDy40agHj12WfF+Gqk6SonIT8= chaotic-nyx.cachix.org-1:HfnXSw4pj95iI/n17rIDy40agHj12WfF+Gqk6SonIT8

An outdated nix-daemon can happen when you change nix settings, then nixos-rebuilt your system, but you didn't restart the nix-daemon service. The easiest way to fix it is to reboot.

Maintainence

The code in the devshells directory is used to automate our CIs and maintainence processes.

Build them all

To build all the packages and push their cache usptream, use:


nix develop . -c chaotic-nyx-build

This commands will properly skip already-known failures, evaluation failures, building failures, and even skip any chain of failures caused by internal-dependecies. It will also avoid to download what it's already in our cache and in the upstream nixpkgs' cache.

A list of what successfully built, failed to build, hashes of all failures, paths to push to cache and logs will be available at the /tmp/nix-shell.*/tmp.*/ directory. This directory can be specified with the NYX_WD envvar.

Check for evaluation differerences

You can compare a branch with another like this:


machine=$(uname -m)-linux
A='github:chaotic-cx/nyx/branch-a'
B='github:chaotic-cx/nyx/branch-b'

nix build --impure --expr \
  "(builtins.getFlake \"$A\").devShells.$machine.comparer.passthru.any \"$B\""

After running, you'll find all the derivations that changed in the result file.

Known failures

All the hashes that are known to produce build-time failures are kept in devshells/failures.nix.

Our builder produces a new-failures.nix that must be used to update this file in every PR.

Banished and rejected packages

There are none (so far).
