Bernardo Magri fb748c217c feat(services): opt-in Tailscale + Syncthing (nomarchy.services.*)
Start the opt-in services surface: nomarchy.services.{tailscale,syncthing},
off by default, in modules/nixos/services.nix. Tailscale ships the daemon
(authenticate with `sudo tailscale up`); Syncthing runs as the login user
with its GUI on 127.0.0.1:8384 (overrideDevices/Folders off so GUI-managed
folders survive rebuilds). username is read lazily, only when Syncthing is
on. Commented examples in the downstream system.nix template per the opt-in
convention.

My Nomarchy machine

  1. Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one: nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix
  2. Set flake.nix up once (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally a hardwareProfile from https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware — an unknown name fails the rebuild with suggestions). After that the flake is never touched again: your machine lives in system.nix (hostname, services — the login user is created from username automatically) and home.nix (your packages).
  3. git init && git add -A — flakes only see tracked files, including theme-state.json.
  4. System: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default
  5. Desktop: nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me (afterwards just home-manager switch --flake .#me — it's installed)
  6. Clone/symlink this directory to ~/.nomarchy (or export NOMARCHY_PATH) so nomarchy-theme-sync knows where the state lives.

Day-to-day:

nomarchy-theme-sync list             # 21 shipped presets
nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox    # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-theme-sync bg next          # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)

The system layer only needs nixos-rebuild when you change system.nix.
