NixOS Facter: declarative hardware configuration for NixOS

Since we introduced NixOS Facter six weeks ago (Better hardware-detection with nixos-facter), we’ve mainly focused on refining and stabilising the report format and establishing some essential documentation.

I’m happy to say that work is now done, and we’d like to invite the community to try it out.

There are currently a handful of NixOS modules, mainly serving as proof of concept, but we see many more possibilities. In the coming months, we will start exploring them as we expand our use of NixOS Facter within our personal setups and Numtide’s infrastructure.

In the meantime, please give it a bash and let us know what you think.

As always, feedback and contributions are most welcome :pray:

Please note: The project is still in the alpha stage and, as such, may be subject to breaking changes and bugs.
