Nix on macOS

There is nix-darwin project that brings Nix configuration to describing many of macOS services.

Notes

  • To not enter password on every darwin-rebuild switch with nix-darwin, you can create /etc/sudoers.d/nix-darwin file with this content:
    • <home-user> ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /run/current-system/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild (where home-user is name of home directory)
  • Nix darwin generates files to etc/static
