Defining environment variables
Environment variable can be set with environment.variables, environment.sessionVariables, and environment.profileRelativeSessionVariables. For example, for the Base Directory Specification, the following could be set to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
{
# ...
environment.sessionVariables = rec {
XDG_CACHE_HOME = "\${HOME}/.cache";
XDG_CONFIG_HOME = "\${HOME}/.config";
XDG_BIN_HOME = "\${HOME}/.local/bin";
XDG_DATA_HOME = "\${HOME}/.local/share";
PATH = [
"\${XDG_BIN_HOME}"
];
};
# ...
}
