<para>

Sometimes NixOS modules need to be used in configuration but exist outside of
|
|
Nixpkgs. These modules can be imported:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
imports =
|
|
[ # Use a locally-available module definition in
|
|
# ./example-module/default.nix
|
|
./example-module
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
services.exampleModule.enable = true;
|
|
}

</programlisting>

The environment variable <literal>NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULE_PATH</literal> is an
|
|
absolute path to a NixOS module that is included alongside the Nixpkgs NixOS
|
|
modules. Like any NixOS module, this module can import additional modules:
|
|
</para>
|

<programlisting>
|
|
# ./module-list/default.nix
|
|
[
|
|
./example-module1
|
|
./example-module2
|
|
]
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
# ./extra-module/default.nix
|
|
{ imports = import ./module-list.nix; }

{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:

# No `imports` needed

services.exampleModule1.enable = true;
