Enabling

To enable awesomeWM set services.xserver.windowManager.awesome.enable to true. For example:

/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }: 


  ...
    services={
        xserver = {
            enable = true;

            windowManager.awesome = {
                enable = true;
                luaModules = with pkgs.luaPackages; [
                    luarocks # is the package manager for Lua modules
                    luadbi-mysql # Database abstraction layer
                ];

            };
        };

        displayManager = {
            sddm.enable = true;
            defaultSession = "none+awesome";
        };
    };
  ...
}
