- This is my personal dotfiles using nix or nixos.
- This flake depends on other package managers such as homebrews.
- Also, the configuration for each tool use Nix as little as possible.
- This is to facilitate the porting of dotfiles even if I stop using Nix in the future.
-
1. Install NixOS following here. Example installation steps are below.
# create a gpt partition table on the disk parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt # create a root partition # it starts from 512MB of the disk and ends at the part excluding 64gb from the end of the disk parted /dev/sda -- mkpart root ext4 512MB -64GB # create a swap partition # it occupies the part of 64gb from the end of the disk parted /dev/sda -- mkpart swap linux-swap -64GB 100% # create an esp partition # it occupies the part from 1MB to 512mb of the disk parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 512MB # set the esp flag on the esp partition parted /dev/sda -- set 3 esp on # create an ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1 and label it as 'nixos' mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/sda1 # set up a linux swap area on /dev/sda2 and label it as 'swap' mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2 # create a fat32 filesystem on /dev/sda3 and label it as 'boot' mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda3 # mount the 'nixos' partition to the /mnt directory mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt # create a new directory /mnt/boot and mount the 'boot' partition to the /mnt/boot directory with umask set to 077 mkdir -p /mnt/boot && mount -o umask=077 /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot # enable the swap partition swapon /dev/sda2 # generate a nixos configuration file for the system nixos-generate-config --root /mnt # you may uncomment networkingmanager config nano /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix # then, uncomment below # networking.networkingmanager.enabled = true; # install NixOS on the system nixos-install # reboot the system reboot # login as root # create a new user 'yanosea' with a home directory useradd -m yanosea # set or change password for user 'yanosea' passwd yanosea # add user 'yanosea' sudoers visudo # add below yanosea ALL=(ALL:ALL) SETENV:ALL # exit from root and login as yanosea exit
-
2. First, update the system. (You have to add your user to sudoers.)
# update the system sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11 nixos && sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch # you may have to add your user to sudoers again
-
3. Enter nix-shell with necessary packages.
# enter nix-shell nix-shell -p git ghq home-manager -
4. Clone this repository and change the directory.
# clone this repository and change the directory ghq get yanosea/yanoNixFiles && cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles
-
5. See
nixos.inittask inMakefileand follow instructions. -
6. Reboot NixOS.
# reboot nixos reboot -
7. Then, you got a new NixOS environment ;)
-
1. Just execute update task.
# change the directory cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles # execute update task make nixos.update
-
1. Download nixos-wsl.tar.gz from the latest release.
-
2. Make the directory and move the downloaded file to the directory. Then, change the directory.
# # on windows # # make the directory and move the downloaded file mkdir -p .\.local\share\wsl\nixos && mv .\Downloads\nixos-wsl.tar.gz .\.local\share\wsl\nixos
-
3. Import the tarball.
# # on windows # # if you already have NixOS WSL env, unregister it wsl --unregister NixOS # change directory and import the tarball cd .local\share\wsl\nixos && wsl --import NixOS . nixos-wsl.tar.gz --version 2
-
4. Start WSL.
# # on windows # # start WSL wsl -d NixOS --cd ~
-
5. First, add user
yanosea.# # on nixos # # change to root sudo -i # add user yanosea and set password useradd yanosea && passwd yanosea # edit sudoers visudo # add below yanosea ALL=(ALL:ALL) SETENV:ALL # create home directory of yanosea and change ownership mkdir -p /home/yanosea && chown yanosea /home/yanosea && chgrp users /home/yanosea # switch to yanosea su - yanosea
-
6. Enter nix-shell with necessary packages.
# # on nixos # # enter nix-shell nix-shell -p git ghq home-manager
-
7. Clone this repository and change the directory.
# # on nixos # # clone this repository and change the directory ghq get yanosea/yanoNixFiles && cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles
-
8. See
nixoswsl.inittask inMakefileand follow instructions. After this step, exit from WSL. -
9. Terminate WSL and restart it.
# # on windows # # terminate WSL wsl --terminate NixOS # start WSL wsl -d NixOS --cd ~
-
10. Then, you got a new NixOS WSL environment ;)
-
1. Just execute update task.
# # on nixos # # change the directory cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles # execute update task make nixoswsl.update
-
1. Install nix following here.
curl -fsSL https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install -
2. Install nix-darwin following here.
-
3. Install homebrew following here.
-
4. Enter nix-shell with necessary packages.
# enter nix-shell nix-shell -p git ghq home-manager -
5. Clone this repository and change the directory.
# clone this repository and change the directory ghq get yanosea/yanoNixFiles && cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles
-
6. See
mac.initormacbook.inittask inMakefileand follow instructions. -
7. Edit
/etc/shellsandchsh. After this step, exit from the shell.# edit /etc/shells vim /etc/shells # add below # /Users/yanosea/.nix-profile/bin/zsh # chsh chsh -s /Users/yanosea/.nix-profile/bin/zsh # exit from the shell (you have to type this many times) exit
-
8. Install command line developer tool.
# install command line developer tool xcode-select --install -
9. Then, you got a new Darwin × Nix environment ;)
-
1. Just execute update task.
# change the directory cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles # execute update task make mac.update # or make macbook.update
