Help with migration from v1.x.x to v2.x.x. Creating a migration guide of sorts.

[saharshbhansali]

I'm facing issues with even the most basic things such as moving my system-wide options (swap, zram, virtualization, etc) to reconcile with the new setup, setting a new user name newuser instead of the default hydenix user:

error: The option `home-manager.users.newuser.environment' does not exist. Definition values:
       - In `/nix/store/x6vr4clssi4sfraj6mnl4yd5bja0kbkv-source/wrappers/_shared.nix':

and even adding the options that I used to import under homeModules = [(toString ./home-manager.nix)]; and nixModules.

Not to mention overriding the preset config files with my own configs:

home.file = {
      ".config/hypr/userprefs.conf" = lib.mkForce {
        source = "${confDir}/hypr/userprefs.conf";
        force = true;
        mutable = true;
      };
};

(where home isn't recognized as an option within modules/hm/default.nix, both within hydenix.hm or within the overall module itself.)

Migration guide

If you want to stick on v1 in the meantime follow the Upgrading guide to version pin hydenix

1. reference template dir for v2 for new api, your files should match it
2. slowly add personal configurations to the correct modules folder, eg hm or system
3. use nix flake check and sudo nixos-rebuild build --flake .#nixos to test your build
4. after testing its recommended to reinstall minimal nixos and rebuild from there

[saharshbhansali]

I did follow this, and it worked, with the exception of one thing: setting my own custom configs for certain apps.

Error message for reference:

sudo nixos-rebuild build --flake .#nixos
[sudo] password for newuser:

it errored on the last one, its .icons/default/index.theme

i see alot of paths that have changes in hyprdots to hyde. please double check your files in the hyde repo to make sure. im assuming you customize previous hyprdots quite a bit

i suggest leaving these customizations and integrating them slowly. hyde is a different project than hyprdots
