Apple Silicon's 16K pages mean FEX cannot run natively and qemu-user cannot
run complex x86_64 binaries. Wire the maintained rowanG077/nix-x86-on-aarch64
runtime (FEX inside a 4K muvm microVM) into shoukei so games, Steam, Wine and
other x86/x86_64 programs work, and let the module own the x86 ELF handlers
instead of qemu-user.
The input is pinned to our fork (ryan4yin/nix-x86-on-aarch64) at the reviewed
commit. Dropping boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems also removes x86_64 from
nix.settings.extra-platforms, so the qemu-user/uncached-x86-build gap is
recorded as WA-022.
- flake.nix: add nix-x86-on-aarch64 input (WA-021)
- hosts/12kingdoms-shoukei/game/: programs.x86-on-arm + steam/wine, 6 GiB VM
- hardware-configuration.nix: drop emulatedSystems/preferStaticEmulators
- apple-silicon.nix: drop the now-redundant box64
- docs: WA-012 resolved; WA-021 and WA-022 added; host README updated
The cherry-picked openvino 2026.4.1 bump (upstream PR #564046, still
unmerged) made onnxruntime 1.27.1 fail its OpenVINO EP MatMulNBits
numerical test, breaking sherpa-onnx and the ai-niri system build.
The fork branch now stays at upstream openvino 2026.4.0.
* refactor: consume computer-use packages from NUR
* fix: expose flake inputs to package overlays
Package overlays are imported from two places with different argument
shapes: outputs/default.nix passes a set containing `inputs`, while
modules/base/overlays.nix passes the NixOS module args, where genSpecialArgs
spreads each flake input as a top-level argument. The new NUR-backed
overlays read `inputs.nur-ryan4yin`, so evaluation failed on the module
path. Also expose the whole flake input set as `inputs` in genSpecialArgs.
* chore: bump nur-ryan4yin input
Update the locked nur-packages revision to the current main (nixpkgs
26.05, unused packages removed).
* fix(colmena): expose colmenaHive for the new evaluator
nixpkgs now ships the nix-community Colmena rewrite, whose default
evaluator reads an evaluated colmenaHive flake output instead of the raw
colmena hive. Without it every colmena apply recipe failed with
"does not provide attribute colmenaHive".
Add a colmena input pinned to the same v0.5.0 as nixpkgs and expose
colmenaHive = colmena.lib.makeHive <raw hive>, with the raw hive kept as
an internal binding rather than a flake output of its own.
* chore: clean up stale colmena and aquamarine references
- point the Colmena links at nix-community/colmena after the move
- rename the security-aquamarine-metrics test to youko-metrics (it
already tested youko) and update the outputs README
- drop the commented aquamarine remote-builder example
agenix was pinned to a May 2025 revision, so `just up` could never move
it. Move to the 0.18.0 release tag and collapse its duplicate
nix-darwin/home-manager lock nodes via follows.
* feat!: replace zellij with tuios and switch to ghostty + kitty
Terminal environment overhaul:
- add the tuios flake input (upstream 0.8.5; nixpkgs has 0.8.1) and link
the checked-in config out-of-store; auto-start tuios in nushell instead
of zellij
- remove zellij entirely: both modules, config, README and nushell
completions
- remove foot and alacritty, which lack the Kitty graphics protocol;
nixpkgs-blender tracked the nixpkgs master branch, so every `just up` re-bumped it and started a full Blender/CUDA source rebuild even though Blender stayed at 5.2.2 LTS. Pin it to a fixed rev so bumps are deliberate.
The OIDN cmake override is obsolete: nixpkgs#545542 made setupCudaHook add nvcc to CUDAToolkit_ROOT, fixing the CMake 4.3+ split-root failure (nixpkgs#544701). Dropping it also stops Blender's derivation from depending on nixpkgs-stable.
16 inputs moved; nixpkgs -> c59305bab206 (nixos-unstable, 2026-10-01), plus the
master/stable/darwin/blender/patched nixpkgs inputs and the module flakes
(home-manager, microvm, nixos-apple-silicon, nix-gaming, nixpak, llm-agents,
rust-overlay, flake-parts, git-hooks, nu_scripts).
Audited each moved revision through the GitHub compare API: no red flags
(substituters, trusted-users, activationScript, pre-commit hooks) in the inputs
examined. home-manager carries the rl-2611 extraConfig/mkForce change (affects
mbsync/lieer/mujmap/notmuch/astroid/grobi; none used here). The home-manager
compare is large, so the audit is not exhaustive and relies on the build.
Validated with `just test` (true), eval-host on the NixOS hosts, and
`just build-host ai-niri`; deployment passed. The build initially failed on
rxvt-unicode-unwrapped (GCC 16 std::lerp regression, nixpkgs#568896), pulled in
by environment.enableAllTerminfo; terminfo is now scoped to the terminals in use.
* feat(secrets): add work gitconfig secret, symlink it in home-manager
* feat(secrets): add a no-sudo replace recipe for new secrets
* refactor(secrets): move work gitconfig symlink into the desktop layer
nixvim has been disabled for a long time (programs.nixvim.enable = false), so
drop the flake input (and prune flake.lock). Port the settings it carried to
Home Manager's programs.neovim: opts and per-plugin setup become an initLua
block plus a plugin list. The catppuccin module already provides the
colorscheme, vi stays unmapped, and the plain system neovim package is
untouched so sudo/nvim --clean keep using it.
Add Immich via the native nixpkgs services.immich module on youko, reusing the host PostgreSQL 16 (pgvector + vectorchord) and a shared Valkey instance for Redis-compatible caching and BullMQ queues (Dragonfly rejected BullMQ's dynamic Lua keys). Media lives on the encrypted HDD at /data/apps/immich; Caddy publishes immich.writefor.fun with a publicly-trusted Let's Encrypt cert (security.acme + Cloudflare DNS-01) so the mobile app connects. OTEL metrics are scraped by VictoriaMetrics, and /var/cache is now preserved on the tmpfs-root hosts so the ML model cache survives reboots.
Deploy RustFS in place of the retired MinIO and move the S3 consumers over.
- flake.nix / flake.lock / outputs/default.nix: add a nixpkgs-small
(nixos-unstable-small) input for the rustfs 1.0.0 package (with the web
console), instantiated as pkgs-small in genSpecialArgs alongside the other
nixpkgs instances; drop the rustfs flake input. The rest of the system stays
on the default nixpkgs.
- hosts/12kingdoms-youko/homelab-services/rustfs.nix: use nixpkgs' own
services.rustfs module, with package = pkgs-small.rustfs and
environmentFile = the agenix rustfs.env secret.
- caddy.nix: s3.writefor.fun (S3 API) and s3-console.writefor.fun (console,
redirects / to /rustfs/console/).
- secrets/nixos.nix: declare a single rustfs.env (dotenv) secret holding
RUSTFS_ACCESS_KEY / RUSTFS_SECRET_KEY, replacing the separate key files.
- infra/minio -> infra/rustfs: buckets are managed with the hashicorp/aws
provider against the RustFS S3 endpoint; IAM/ILM are applied with rc.
Split the repository password into desktop and homelab groups, add the
environmentFile/pruneOpts module options, and point the desktop at youko's
REST endpoint.
* feat(hosts): per-host restic backups to the SMB remote
Replace the disabled aggregate job (which rsynced every host's /persistent
into /tmp - a tmpfs - and silently produced incomplete backups) with one
restic repo per host, backing up its own data directly:
- shared module lib/genResticBackup.nix: secrets, rclone/SMB target
(rclone:smb-downloads:/Downloads/homelab-backup/<host>), retention, and
excludes for the regenerable/bulky paths (podman overlay layers, microvm
and libvirt disk images, nfs golden images, logs, caches)
- youko additionally backs up the service state under /persistent/var/lib
and dumps all postgres databases first (a consistent SQL artifact beside
the crash-consistent data dir)
- shoryu/shushou back up /etc/agenix, /etc/ssh and the k3s token
Needs three agenix secrets before it can run: restic-password,
ssh-key-for-restic-backup and rclone-conf-for-restic-backup.
* refactor(hosts): only restic does off-host; btrbk stays local
btrbk works at the subvolume level, so a would ship the whole
@persistent - including podman's overlay storage, the microVM/libvirt
images and the nfs golden images - which is exactly the regenerable bulk
we want out of the backups.
So: btrbk keeps making the cheap local CoW snapshots (quick rollbacks),
and restic owns the off-host copies with file-level excludes. Back up the
whole /persistent minus those excludes, so nothing is missed.
Update the btrbk module's comment to say so.
* fix(restic): never back up keys; drop the implicit /etc/agenix
restic's own password lives in /etc/agenix, so backing that up would store
the repository's password inside the repository. Exclude agenix, the ssh
host keys and the usual credential dirs (.ssh, .gnupg, .aws, gcloud).
* refactor(restic): make the backup a proper module
Replace lib/genResticBackup.nix with modules/nixos/base/restic-backup.nix,
which declares modules.restic-backup options (enable, repository, paths,
exclude, requiresMountsFor, postgresDump) like the btrbk module does.
youko just sets the options now.
* refactor(restic): exclude the whole podman storage, trim retention
Exclude /persistent/var/lib/containers wholesale: the image layers are
re-pullable and podman's storage DB is not consistent when copied from a
running podman. uptime-kuma's named volume lives there, but its data is
not wanted anyway.
Retention: daily 3, weekly 2, monthly 2 - no yearly.
* refactor(restic): back up a short-lived btrfs snapshot, drop pg_dump
A live copy of a running postgres data dir is only crash-consistent. Instead
of a daily pg_dumpall (which duplicates the data in the repository and gets
slower as the DB grows), take a short-lived read-only btrfs snapshot in
backupPrepareCommand, back that up, and delete it right after - a
consistency step, not a second backup. The excludes are relative now so they
work for both the snapshot and a direct path.
* feat(secrets): restic-password for modules.restic-backup
With the rekeyed secret in nix-secrets (storage group, alongside
hdd-luks-crypt-key), the module's passwordFile resolves.
* fix(restic): agenix's secret is under /run/agenix, not /etc/agenix
* fix(restic): take the password path from agenix, not a hardcoded one
config.age.secrets."restic-password".path follows agenix's secretsDir, so it
stays correct if that changes.
xwayland-satellite has no compositor-level clipboard bridging, so X11
clients (WeChat/QQ) and Wayland clients cannot see each other's clipboard.
Add the pyclipsync flake input and enable its home-manager module, which
installs the daemon as a systemd user service bound to the graphical session.
Lanzaboote's nested rust-overlay input (2026-06-21) used the now-deprecated
stdenv.isLinux/stdenv.isDarwin aliases in mk-aggregated.nix, triggering two
evaluation warnings on nixpkgs 26.11 (where these aliases gained lib.warn).
rust-overlay fixed this treewide in 892c035d (2026-08-13); update the nested
input to master (f60c1b57, 2026-08-23).
