Example Snippets

Get a specific Module from unstable Channel

First add the channel:

$ sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos-unstable

Then replace the module:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

let
  baseconfig = { allowUnfree = true; };
  unstable = import <nixos-unstable> { config = baseconfig; };
in
{
  disabledModules = [
    "services/networking/unify.nix"
  ];
  imports = [
    # Include the results of the hardware scan.
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
    <nixos-unstable/nixos/modules/services/networking/unify.nix>
  ];

  nixpkgs.config = baseconfig;

  # This also replaces the packages when they are used as dependency for other
  # packages
  nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
    unify = unstable.unify;

    # NOTE: It might be necessary to add `unstable = unstable;` or
    #       `inherit unstable;` here to make the below `unstable.nvim` work.
  };

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    # Get package specifically from `unstable`
    unstable.nvim

    # This package has been replaced with the version from `unstable`
    unify
  ];
