| '''Note''': Firefox requires the Google Hangouts Video plugin but Chromium (37+) doesn't require any plugin to use Google Hangouts.

| |
| == Per User ==
| |
|
| |
| It is possible to configure certain features in nixpkgs by creating <code>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</code> and setting the options. See below for details on how to set the equivalent options for the system profile when running NixOS.
| |
|
| |
| To install Firefox and Chromium for a user profile you need to create <code>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</code> and add the following options:
| |
|
| |
| ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
| |
| {
| |
| allowUnfree = true;
| |
|
| |
| firefox = {
| |
| enableGoogleTalkPlugin = true;
| |
| };
| |
|
| |
| chromium = {
| |
| enablePepperFlash = true; # Chromium's non-NSAPI alternative to Adobe Flash
| |
| };
| |
|
| |
| }
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
|
| |
| After these options have been set you need to install the "Wrapper" versions of Firefox:
| |
|
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="console">
| |
| $ nix-env -i firefox-with-plugins chromium
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
|
| |
| If you are using a version that does not have a wrapper, you can write one (add to config.nix and install with `nix-env -iA nixpkgs.pkgs.firefox-bin-wrapper` or `nix-env -iA nixos.pkgs.firefox-bin-wrapper`):
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
| |
| packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; rec {
| |
| # FF bin with plugins
| |
| firefox-bin-wrapper = wrapFirefox { browser = firefox-bin; };
| |
| };
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
|
| |
| == For NixOS ==
| |
|
| |
| In NixOS you can configure nixpkgs options by adding a nixpkgs.config section to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix. This has no effect on nix-env commands but does apply to packages installed via the environment.systemPackages list. The options are exactly the same as above.
| |
|
| |
| In order to install Firefox with support for plugins, you need to use the "Wrapper" version. For example, in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix environment.systemPackages this would be firefoxWrapper.
| |
|
| |
| To install Firefox and Chromium with Google Talk and Flash in your system profile you can add the following to your configuration.nix file.
| |
|
| |
| /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
| |
| ...
| |
|
| |
| nixpkgs.config = {
| |
|
| |
| allowUnfree = true;
| |
|
| |
| firefox = {
| |
| enableGoogleTalkPlugin = true;
| |
| enableAdobeFlash = true;
| |
| };
| |
|
| |
| chromium = {
| |
| enablePepperFlash = true; # Chromium removed support for Mozilla (NPAPI) plugins so Adobe Flash no longer works
| |
| };
| |
|
| |
| };
| |
|
| |
| environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.firefoxWrapper pkgs.chromium ];
| |
| ...
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
|
| |
| then run <pre>nixos-rebuild switch</pre>
