dot-files

My multi-host NixOS flake!

Usage

Setting up a new host

Important

If you want to adapt these dot files for yourself be sure to configure your own hosts.

1. Add a new entry to nixosConfigurations in flake.nix:

# ...
nixosConfigurations = lib.genHosts = {
  new-host = {
    username = "new-host-user";
    userDescription = "probably your name (for display-manager)";
    # Other options you may want to change:
    # arch (default: "x86_64-linux")
    # hostname (default: config name)
  };
  # ...
};
# ...

2. Create default.nix in hosts/new-host/. Import modules like hardware-configuration.nix or config.nix from there.
3. Have a look at options.md for my custom configuration options.

Building the System

Important

flakes and nix-command have to be enabled to rebuild the system using flakes. nix.settings.experimental-features = ["nix-command" "flakes"];

1. After setting up your hosts run copy_config.sh:

./copy_config.sh

2. For the first rebuild with this config rebuild like this:

sudo nixos-rebuild boot --install-bootloader --flake /etc/nixos#<config-you-want-to-build>

Afterwards, you can run sudo nixos-rebuild switch|boot|etc. like normal.

Tip

NixOS channels can be removed, because flakes don't rely on them. (nix-channel)

Shells

In the nix-shells directory, there are also a couple of nix shells for different usecases
