I’ve added a homeConfigurations for a work machine so that I can have my configurations that I have on my other machines.
desktop builds fine (and I assume the other nixosConfigurations) do as well.
but when I try to build my work homeConfiguration I get this error

This is my flake
Not sure what I am doing wrong as I am believe I am inheriting the right pkgs …
As a best practice on coding forums, please share text rather than screenshots.
Also, based on the title of your post, you just need to pass pkgs
as an argument to home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration
.
homeConfigurations.FOOBAR = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
# ...
};
and you cannot use useGlobalPkgs
or useUserPackages
, naturally.
This only applies for standalone HM, of course, not HM as a NixOS module.

Thanks I will use text.
Even adding it as you have here I get

Yes, the home-manager
options only apply to the NixOS module. For standalone, remove them.

homeConfigurations = {
work = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
modules = [
./hosts/work/home
];
};
Still gets the same error
