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.

1. Boot from an appropriate medium
2. Parition the drives
3. Mount them
4. Before you generate out the configuration, clone this repoistory to your /etc/nixos folder
5. Run the configuration generator. It should only genreate the hardware-configuration.nix file, which this repo gitignores
6. Symlink the folder for the appropriate host to the location 'host' as such: ln -s hosts/myhost host.
7. 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.
