This is pure genious !
Simple and yet powerful. Thanks for sharing :-).
It can be customized with filterSource and such if you want more control.
However, it does not track modifications to nixpkgs.
I have a bad habit of building NixOS from dirty nixpkgs repos to test my
various fixes.
Any idea to handle that ?

I've been putting
environment.etc = {

into my configuration.nix and for my still fairly trivial but at least
somewhat moduralized config it seems to work out all right.

Hi,
system.copySystemConfiguration is far from perfect. As soon as you
modularize your config, you will miss all the other files.
If you want a correct system.copySystemConfiguration, you really
need
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/709.
It allows you to snapshot all the sources of a nix derivation, not
just
one file.
I tested it back then, and it worked pretty well.

No I don't have `system.copySystemConfiguration=true` set :-(
Luckily I documented my recent efforts in some gists.
I managed to install NixOS on ZFS here:
https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/c763e168a62a0ef559a1fb94732
61459
And my (yet untested) attempt at PCI passthrough here:
https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/1be07805081a4d7a51c527e452b
87b26
There is still some missing, but nothing I can't handle, I guess.
This is a great time to enable my ZFS snapshots... :-/
Does anyone know why `system.copySystemConfiguration` is set to
false
by default? It seems like it would be better to default this to
true,
right?
Or at least have this listed in the generated config?
(`nixos-generate-config`)
Anyway, I'll be okay, thanks folks!!
Sincerely,
Vince

Do you happen to have this option set to true?
/me goes and sets it to true on his system
