I searched through google, "private nixos modules outside nixpkgs tree". There was blog by Sander ( http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2014/07/managing-private-nix-packages-outside.html). I was assuming someone to have posted similar post for nixos module. In the past wiki has been helpful but on several occasion found it to be broken.
I was using nixpkgs with ubuntu till now so did not have to deal with nixos modules, and wasn't clear about the working of this. But now I truly appreciate the beauty of NixOS. And especially with NixOps I believe it would solve majority of my problems. In addition, with Hydra build farm I can easily maintain my own private repo. -- Rohit On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 12:08 PM, Layus <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh, it seems that you misunderstood me. > > My point is that that particular information (i.e. "How to add custom > modules?") is not easy to find in the docs/wiki. > I claim this based on the (relatively) big number of users asking that > question on the mailing list and at NixCon. > > So I asked you to give examples of places where you looked for that piece > of information (wiki, nixos man, eetc ?), and how you looked for it > (google, nixos options, nixos.org search? what keywords you used, etc.). > That way, I would know where to add the required explanations to help > future users facing the same question. > > G. > > > On 04/12/15 18:26, rohit yadav wrote: > > Yes, it was mistake on my part.
