My NixOS Configuration

Welcome to my NixOS configuration repository.
It contains my system configuration as well as custom Nix packages and development environments.

🧩 LuaMetaTeX (ConTeXt LMTX) Package

One of the highlights of this repository is the LuaMetaTeX package located in the
pkgs/context subdirectory.

This Nix package is based on the excellent work of Marco Feltmann
and has been adapted for a modern flake-based setup.

✨ Key Features

• Up-to-date sources – uses the current repository from contextgarden/context
• Essential fonts – downloads the texmf.zip archive from Pragma ADE
• Ready-to-use commands – builds luametatex, mtxrun, and context binaries that mirror upstream behavior

💡 Why LuaMetaTeX?

The ConTeXt typesetting system, primarily developed by Hans Hagen, offers a leaner and more structured codebase than LaTeX.
In practice, ConTeXt provides a cleaner macro language, integrated fonts and layouts, and very high-quality PDF output.

🛠 Building the package

From the repository root:

nix build .#context

The resulting binaries will appear in ./result/bin/.

To show more detailed build information:

nix build .#context --show-trace

A legacy non-flake build still works for compatibility:

nix-build -A luametatex pkgs/context

🏠 Personal NixOS Configuration

This repository also serves as a backup for my personal NixOS and Home-Manager configuration.
It may not be optimal in every respect, but it reflects my current setup and customization efforts.

🔁 Rebuilding the System

To apply changes to your system:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

If fonts are missing or new ones were installed:

fc-cache -r

Feel free to explore, adapt, and reuse any part of this configuration for your own NixOS setup.
