This is the config of my personal desktop linux systems (not yet ready to switch my homelab to nix). I'm using this on my main laptop as my daily driver. Nix allows me to have all the configs as code so I dont forget them. Due to its nature it also is very reproducible.
- entrypoint
- place for system-wide or /home-level nix modules
- defines interfaces for single builing blocks/packages/tools
- combines system and home-manager modules into reusable profiles
- contains host-specific info (i.e. hardware-configuration)
- uses profiles to configure new hosts with minimal effort
Note
In case you want to use this as starting point, it's probably best to fork this repo or to just take the pieces you want. I have no intentions on supporting your needs in here, but I'm happy to answer your questions
- Boot into (minimal) NixOS live iso
- Use either partition.sh or bootstrap.sh # WARN: This wipes your disk
- nix-shell -p git
- git clone <repo url>
- create a host entry like hosts/t14
- add the path to the host config to flake.nix
- nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config --root /mnt > hosts/<name>/hardware-configurtation.nix
- git add hosts/<name>/hardware-configurtation.nix flake.nix
- nixos-install --flake .#<name>
- reboot
- apply home-manager config # may be possible with nixos-enter in the live iso, but I didnt test that yet
- maximbaz arch config I studied extensively when I began to build my own configs
- vimjoyer and librephoenix for their nice youtube videos about nix and ofc the configs
