Finix

Finicking with a NixOS VM as replacement for my development environment. Probably only useful to me. If you find this useful we should be friends.

Usage

  1. Install Parallels on your Apple Silicon Mac.
  2. Create a VM called "Dev" and boot it using an aarch64 NixOS ISO.
  3. Set the root password to root by running sudo su - and passwd from within the VM.
  4. Run make bootstrap from your Mac to get the VM setup with a base NixOS installation.
  5. Once rebooted, run make configure from your Mac to get the VM set up with my personal configuration.
  6. Clone this repository into the VM and tweak away. Give your changes a try with make test, finalize with make switch.
