This is a role fulfilled by NixOS\'s Profiles, +which come as files living in `<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles>`. That +is to say, expected usage is to add them to the imports list of your +`/etc/configuration.nix` as such: + +```nix +imports = [ + <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/profile-name.nix> +]; +``` + +Even if some of these profiles seem only useful in the context of +install media, many are actually intended to be used in real installs. + +What follows is a brief explanation on the purpose and use-case for each +profile. Detailing each option configured by each one is out of scope. + +```{=docbook} +<xi:include href="profiles/all-hardware.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/base.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/clone-config.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/demo.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/docker-container.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/graphical.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/hardened.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/headless.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/installation-device.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/minimal.section.xml" /> +<xi:include href="profiles/qemu-guest.section.xml" /> +``` |
