I’m using Home Manager as a NixOS module in a flake, as per these instructions, but I can’t figure how to upgrade the packages declared inside home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager.home-manager.users.<name>.home.packages.
Both nix-channel --update and nix flake update do some work and succeed when invoked, but the packages declared inside home-manager aren’t getting upgraded. Seems like I need to somehow hook pkgs in the flake’s input to have nix flake update consider them? Thanks in advance for any hints.
Here’s an abstract of my system’s flake.nix:
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.11";
home-manager = {
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.lemur = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules =
[ ({ pkgs, ... }: {
imports =[ /home/alpeb/nixos-flake-lemur/hardware-configuration.nix ];
# bunch of ommitted config...
users.users.alpeb = {
isNormalUser = true;
description = "alpeb";
extraGroups = [ "networkmanager" "wheel" "docker" ];
};
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
curl wget tree xclip pinentry-curses
gnomeExtensions.gtile gnomeExtensions.dash-to-panel
];
system.stateVersion = "22.11";
})
home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager {
home-manager = {
useGlobalPkgs = true;
useUserPackages = true;
users.alpeb = { pkgs, ...}: {
home.stateVersion = "22.11";
home.packages = with pkgs; [
(import ./pkgs/aws-cli)
# more ommitted imports here
(writeShellScriptBin "flush-cluster" (builtins.readFile ./scripts/flush-cluster.sh))
google-chrome firefox appimage-run tilix neofetch zoom-us keepassxc
# lots of other ommitted packages that aren't getting updated
];
programs = {
bash = import ./bash.nix;
git = import ./git.nix;
neovim = import ./vim/vim.nix;
tmux = import ./tmux.nix;
};
};

}
];
};
};
}
