Usage with home-manager

[Simon-Kenn]

Hi,

I leave nixvim for this configuration sample. I love lua for nvim configuration, i did rewrite my entire configuration and during this time i just run nix run #nvim in my neovim folder.

But now that i am satisfacte i try to use it as a flake inputs, but i unfortuntly get problem…

After setting the overlays to my flake

I try to use it as a nix-os level:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  nvim-pkg
];
programs.neovim.enable = true;

and ultimatly i would like to use it with home-manager, not sure if it's possible

home.programs.neovim = {
  enable = true;
  package = pkgs.nvim-pkg
};

Special note: i use `neovim.url = "git+file:///home/path-to-my-folder-config"; as input, didin't push my repo right now, maybe it cause problem ?

Thanks for this really good sample btw

Hey 👋

and ultimatly i would like to use it with home-manager, not sure if it's possible

home.programs.neovim = {
 enable = true;
 package = pkgs.nvim-pkg
};

I haven't tried it myself, but don't think that is possible (or you'll at least likely run into issues).
Afaik, home-manager creates a Neovim wrapper, so this would result in it creating a wrapper around nvim-pkg, which itself is a Neovim wrapper.

What are you trying to achieve by using it with home-manager?

I understand for home-manager, i was in the idea to use it for consistency in my global architecture, i like to have my configuration in /home/user/.config

Unfortunatly i did'nt success to use it with nixos, when i start neovim i got a lot of plugin integration not found, start neovim with nix run ~/fy-flake-neovim-folder work perfectly,

as i say i add the overlay as flake inputs, add the nvim-pkg to environment system package and try to active it with programs.neovim.enable = true

do you have any idea about what can make them list of module not found ? 

Also at nixos-rebuild where will be the neovim configuration folder ?

Sorry for my really bad english, i hope you undestrand me !

This suggests that there's something wrong with the build when you build it in your NixOS config. Usually, it's because you're using a nixpkgs version with an incompatible version of the wrapNeovimUnstable function.
(see also the note in this section.

Also at nixos-rebuild where will be the neovim configuration folder ?

The derivation built by kickstart-nix.nvim doesn't have a configuration folder (that wouldn't be reproducible). It all lives in the nix store.

Sorry was in vaccation

I did fix the inputs.follows, but i have some question if you mind.

This kickstart overlay is designed for install neovim in the system level, right ? 
So is there a way to add some user configuration only, for exemple luasnip template, or is the total configuration intendeed to be the same for every user ?

The config is part of the derivation, so it won't pick up an init.lua in your home directory.
But you can still add plugin scripts, e.g. in ~/.config/nvim/plugin/foo.lua.
