# Nix
|
|
|
|
The grand unification of configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Not on NixOS?
|
|
|
|
Install Nix using Determinate Systems's installer:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And [install Home Manager in standalone mode](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html#sec-install-standalone):
|
|
|
|
# NixOS
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nixos-rebuild --flake git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remotely
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nixos-rebuild --flake git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#host \
|
|
--target-host root@host --build-host root@host \
|
|
switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Home Manager
|
|
|
|
This can be used on non-NixOS hosts:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
home-manager switch --flake .#daniel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remotely
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh daniel@host 'home-manager switch --flake git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#daniel'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Provisioning New NixOS Hosts
|
|
|
|
Documented below is my process for standing up a new NixOS node configured and
|
|
managed by this flake from scratch.
|
|
|
|
## Network Access
|
|
|
|
Boot a NixOS ISO and establish network access:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# plug in ethernet or do the wpa_cli song and dance for wifi access
|
|
wpa_cli scan # if you need to
|
|
wpa_cli scan_results
|
|
|
|
wpa_cli add_network 0
|
|
wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "MY_SSID"
|
|
wpa_cli set_network 0 psk "MY_WIFI_PASSWORD"
|
|
wpa_cli enable_network 0
|
|
wpa_cli save_config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Partition disk(s) and mount up however you like. Preferably, though, use a
|
|
[disko configuration](./disko.nix) from this flake like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# TODO: I'm relatively certain this can be simplified to a single `nix run` command
|
|
sudo nix-shell --packages git --run "nix run \
|
|
--extra-experimental-features nix-command \
|
|
--extra-experimental-features flakes \
|
|
github:nix-community/disko -- \
|
|
--flake 'git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#standard' \
|
|
--mode disko \
|
|
--arg disks '[ \"/dev/your_disk\" ]'"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And finally install NixOS as specified by this flake:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-shell --packages git \
|
|
--run "sudo nixos-install \
|
|
--flake 'git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#yourNixosConfig'"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: This takes a while, mostly due to building Helix myself on each box. I
|
|
really need to figure out a good local caching setup.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: since the disko setup _should_ be included in the nixosConfiguration,
|
|
I would like to know how to do this all in one go -- maybe even building my own
|
|
live media?
|
|
|
|
# Other To Dos
|
|
|
|
- Local Nix substitute/cache setup?
|
|
- Pre-commit checks with `nix flake check`?
