For my PCs, and my account only.
Home Manager is enabled even if not strictly needed for myself only.
Manual setup
- install nixos from ISO
- from console run:
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-23.05.tar.gz home-manager
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos-unstable
sudo nix-channel --update
nix-shell -p git
cd /etc/nixos
sudo git clone https://github.com/paolodenti/mynixos.git
sudo rm configuration.nix
sudo ln -s mynixos/hosts/<host name>/configuration.nix configuration.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
- copy the private
age.txt
to$HOME/.sops/age.txt
sops --decrypt --age $(agepublic) --output $HOME/.secrets mynixos/.secrets
- todo: which is the best way to copy secret files? (kubeconfigs, ssh keys, etc.)
TODO: check out agenix
I am cutting here myself some slack, while I learn how to use NixOS in the right way, with nix-shell for different environments/projects, and flakes.
Install SDKMAN manually, without updating zshrc
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io?rcupdate=false" | bash
- logout / login
sdk install java 17.0.9-amzn
sdk install maven 3.9.5
Enable flatpak repo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
clear-nix-boot-menu
dconf dump / | dconf2nix
- restructure with common imports
- check out agenix or sops-nix
- move to flakes
- get rid of the manual sw setups
- get rid of nvm and move to nix-shell
- create different configuration for different hosts and find a smart way to link the right configuration/hardware config
- move home manager users out of configuration.nix
