system.copySystemConfiguration is not supported with flakes about nix-starter-configs HOT 3 CLOSED

You were spot on, thanks! I got a perfect rebuild after commenting that line out.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I didn't have Home Manager installed and configured, so I had to go to the Home Manager Manual. I figured that since your sample flake.nix file included a homeConfigurations section, and a mention of it was in the instructions, that it was expected. Maybe other noobs like me would benefit from mentioning the link above. Apart from that, everything was just great. Once again, thank you very much for sharing!

Hi! Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad that this project is useful to you :D

So, the problem is your config has a system.copySystemConfiguration = true somewhere. This option is not compatible with flakes, as it relies on NIXOS_PATH, which is impure. Just set it to false (the default) and it should work :)

If you have a specific use-case that requires this feature, let me know and I can perhaps point you to an equivalent that works with flakes.

Cheers

Hey! Marking this as completed it's been addressed (a shell command is provided on the readme for getting home-manager). If anyone else faces this, do feel free to comment or reopen :)
