Iynaix's NixOS Config

This config is intended to be used with NixOS. There is experimental support for running the dotfiles on legacy operating systems.

Features

Multiple NixOS configurations, including desktop, laptops and VM
Persistence via impermanence (both / and /home)
Automatic ZFS snapshots with rotation
Flexible NixOS / Home Manager config via feature flags
sops-nix for managing secrets
Hyprland with waybar setup, with screen capture
Dynamic colorschemes using wallust (pywal, but maintained)

How to Install

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso / from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following install script partitions the disk, sets up the necessary datasets and installs NixOS.

From a standard ISO,

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iynaix/dotfiles/main/install.sh)

From the custom iso built via nbuild-iso ISO_HOST,

iynaixos-install

Reboot

Creating Persist Snapshot to Restore

sudo zfs snapshot zroot/persist@persist-snapshot
sudo zfs send zroot/persist@persist-snapshot > SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH

Restoring from Persist Snapshot

# the rename is needed for encrypted datasets, as -F doesn't work
sudo zfs receive -o mountpoint=legacy zroot/persist-new < SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist zroot/persist-old
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist-new zroot/persist

System Rescue

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso / from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following script optionally reformats the boot partition and / or /nix dataset, then reinstalls NixOS.

From a standard ISO,

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iynaix/dotfiles/main/recover.sh)

From the custom iso built via nbuild-iso ISO_HOST,

iynaixos-recover
