Installation 📚

Partitioning & formatting

Follow the NixOS Manual to encrypt, partition and format your filesystem. Return to this readme after mounting partitions in the target filesystem (i.e. /mnt/*).

Flakes

1. Clone this repository in the target filesystem:

   # git clone https://github.com/atreyasha/nix-config.git /mnt/etc/nix-config
   

2. [Optional] If installing on new hardware, update hardware configuration (eg. partition UUIDs, LUKS devices) in hosts/<host>/hardware.nix and commit these changes later. Run the following to inspect detected hardware configuration:

   # nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config
   

3. Install this configuration:

   # nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/nix-config#<host>
   

4. Update the root and default user's password. You can also import secrets now.

Maintenance 👷

After installing NixOS, make changes to this repository as required. To sync changes on the system, execute the following as the default user:

$ pull-and-switch

Development 🔥

Install nixfmt in your system, then initialize pre-commit hook for automatic checks of Nix files:

$ pre-commit install
