# Internal Usage
|
|
|
|
## Update Server
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: I want to establish a solid way to do this without `root@`.
|
|
|
|
```fish
|
|
g a; set host beefcake; nix run nixpkgs#nixos-rebuild -- --flake ".#$host" \
|
|
--target-host "root@$host" --build-host "root@$host" \
|
|
switch --show-trace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Safer Method
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# make sure all files are at least staged so nix flakes will see them
|
|
git add -A
|
|
|
|
# initialize a delayed reboot by a process you can kill later if things look good
|
|
# note that the amount of time you give it probably needs to be enough time to both complete the upgrade
|
|
# _and_ perform whatever testing you need
|
|
host=your_host
|
|
ssh -t "root@$host" "bash -c '
|
|
set -m
|
|
# sleep 30 mins
|
|
(sleep 1800; reboot;) &
|
|
jobs -p
|
|

'"
|
|
|
|
# build the system and start running it, but do NOT set the machine up to boot to that system yet
|
|
# we will test things and make sure it works first
|
|
# if it fails, the reboot we started previously will automatically kick in once the timeout is reached
|
|
# and the machine will boot to the now-previous iteration
|
|
nix run nixpkgs#nixos-rebuild -- --flake ".#$host" \
|
|
--target-host "root@$host" --build-host "root@$host" \
|
|
test --show-trace
|
|
|
|
# however you like, verify the system is running as expected
|
|
# if it is, run the same command with "switch" instead of "test"
|
|
# otherwise, we will wait until the machine reboots back into the
|
|
# this is crude, but should be pretty foolproof
|
|
# the main gotcha is that the system is already unbootable or non-workable, but
|
|
# if you always use this method, that should be an impossible state to get into
|
|
|
|
# if we still have ssh access and the machine fails testing, just rollback
|
|
# instead of waiting for the reboot
|
|
ssh "root@$host" nixos-rebuild --rollback switch
|
|
```

|
## Provisioning New NixOS Hosts
|
|
|
|
Note that for best results the target flake attribute should first be built and
|
|
cached to the binary cache at `nix.h.lyte.dev`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# establish network access
|
|
# plug in ethernet or do the wpa_cli song and dance for wifi
|
|
wpa_cli scan
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
# disk encryption key (if needed)
|
|
echo -n "password" > /tmp/secret.key
|
|
|
|
# partition disks
|
|
nix-shell --packages git --run "sudo nix run \
|
|
--extra-experimental-features nix-command \
|
|
--extra-experimental-features flakes \
|
|
github:nix-community/disko -- \
|
|
--flake 'git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#${PARTITION_SCHEME}' \
|
|
--mode disko \
|
|
--arg disks '[ \"/dev/${DISK}\" ]'"
|
|
|
|
# install
|
|
nix-shell --packages git \
|
|
--run "sudo nixos-install \
|
|
--flake 'git+https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix#${FLAKE_ATTR}' \
|
|
--option trusted-substituters 'https://cache.nixos.org https://nix.h.lyte.dev' \
|
|
--option trusted-public-keys 'cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= h.lyte.dev:HeVWtne31ZG8iMf+c15VY3/Mky/4ufXlfTpT8+4Xbs0='"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
1. Setup/copy any GPG/SSH keys.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# from a machine with the key
|
|
$ gpg --export-secret-key --armor daniel@lyte.dev | ssh $host "umask 077; cat - > p.key"
|
|
$ rsync -r ~/.ssh $host:~/.ssh
|
|
|
|
# on the target machine
|
|
$ gpg --import ~/p.key && rm ~/p.key
|
|
$ gpg --edit-key daniel@lyte.dev # trust ultimately
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Setup/copy any password stores.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ rsync -r ~/.local/share/password-store $host:~/.local/share/password-store
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Tailscale connection and roles.
|
|
4. Firefox sync configured.
