This is my personal nixOS configuration. I'm using Nix to set up a reproducible development environment between all my machines. The goal is for things to be consistent across all the ways I work in code:
- In bare metal machines, like the machines where I do programming/ML research
- In VMs running on laptops, when I'm working on existing projects but don't want to install dependencies on the host
The initial inspiration for this was mitchellh/nixos-config (see his video). Also see my dotfile setup at fredoliveira/dotfiles, which includes a lot more of how I set up my actual shell and tooling.
- Set up a new VM (or bare metal) and boot the minimal NixOS ISO
- Sudo into root and set up a new password, so that you can SSH in for the rest of the config
$ sudo su
$ passwd- Note the IP address of the machine you are setting up with
ifconfig - From the host, export the IP address for the new machine and run the bootstrap process
$ export NIXADDR=192.168.xxx.xxx
$ make vm/init- After the init process concludes, the machine will reboot automatically
- You can login using
root
