My default nix configuration on NixOS.

This configuration is more for building/debugging stuff and caching with nix-serve. Usually my package version is locked since different versions of nix can have some effects.

  
  
    nix
  
  
  { config, ... }:

{
  nix = {
    package = (import ../versions.nix).nix_2_17 { inherit config; };
    settings = {
