NixOS-config - WIP (work in progress)

Use at your own risk!

This is my personal NixOS config. It is not guaranteed that it will work on your system.

Usage

1. Preparation

Install the required tools

nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA git

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/fdiblen/NixOS-config.git

2. Partition your disk

Automated partitioning is achived using disko (https://github.com/nix-community/disko).

Uncomment the device in NixOS-config/modules/partitioning/luks-btrfs.nix

sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko ./NixOS-config/modules/partitioning/luks-btrfs.nix

3. Generate config

sudo nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --root /mnt

4. Install

sudo nixos-install --impure --flake ./NixOS-config#worklaptop --root /mnt

Rebuild the system

Rebuild using the worklaptop configuration (hosts/worklaptop):

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ./NixOS-config#worklaptop

TODO

Make configuration.nix more modular
Add dotfiles to home-manager
System hardening
Set the firewall rules
Configure the user shell
Automate the partitioning step
Add zram?

Notes and tips

Install dependencies

sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run  github:fdiblen/NixOS-config
