This is a unified repo to contain my personal configurations for NixOS machines.
How To Use This
Go through the normal process to setup a NixOS system during installation.
- Boot from an appropriate medium
- Parition the drives
- Mount them
- Before you generate out the configuration, clone this repoistory to your /etc/nixos folder
- Run the configuration generator. It should only genreate the hardware-configuration.nix file, which this repo gitignores
- Symlink the folder for the appropriate host to the location 'host' as such:
ln -s hosts/myhost host. - Run the nixos installation command
Adding new hosts
To add a new host, create a folder in the directory hosts/ that matches the name of
the target system. Each host must contain, minimally, a default.nix file that serves
as the basis of configuring that host.
Profiles
Certain shared characteristics can be created in the profiles/ folder and included in
a particular host's configuration. For instance, any hosts that are running on a
Raspsberry Pi 4 should include the profiles/rpi4.nix file to properly configure things
like the kernel and boot parameters. Since I live in the "America/Chicago" timezone, hosts
that run in my home will also include profiles/home.nix. That file will also set the
domain that I use for my hosts at home. This allows shared content to be reused across
multiple machines without the need to repeat it.
