NixOS Configuration

This repository contains the NixOS system and user profile configuration files for my machines. For an overview and more thorough description, read NixOS: Confederation (myme.no).

I rarely install new machines and thus haven't really invested the time to automate this process in a good way. The steps under Installation are most likely borken or incomplete. Your best bet is to download and install NixOS following the regular documentation, then simply build and update using nixos-rebuild switch --flake ..

Installation

Install SSH keys on machine

Use a local keyboard and mouse or remote console to start up a shell on the machine. Then add public keys as desired to .ssh/authorized_keys for remote access.

$ mkdir .ssh
$ curl -o .ssh/authorized_keys https://github.com/myme.keys

Copy installation files to host

The following command will prompt for one of the deploy.nodes hosts to copy the installation files to.

$ ./bootstrap/copy.sh

Start NixOS installation

Begin the installation by invoking the install script, either on console or over SSH:

$ sudo ./bootstrap/install.sh

The command will prompt for a system profile to install.

Post-install

Installing emacs dependencies:

$ ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom sync

After launching emacs, install all-the-icons:

(all-the-icons-install-fonts t)

Updating

$ sudo nixos-rebuild <switch|test|build> --flake .

Non-NixOS Linux / Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Install

$ ./bootstrap/build-home.sh <machine>
$ ./result/activate

Update

Either use the build-home.sh script above or the following once Home Manager is installed:

$ home-manager <build|switch> --flake .#<machine>
