NixOS Configuration

A (WIP) NixOS Configuration repo for all my systems.

Basic Usage

Install the nixos system. Note this command is hardware dependent. We use the hostname to associate hardware.

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#${hostname}

If nh is availabe on the system, you can simply do

nh os switch .

New Installation Guide

First, install a minimal installation of NixOS.

Next, once you get into the system. Create a new entry for the system in the nixosConfigurations. This will require copying the hardware-configuration.nix file into the config as well. Be sure to also go through the configuration.nix and set the relevent parameters to build the same system.

Enable flakes on the original system. Add the following to the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file.

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ git ];

Make sure to update the channels to unstable as well.

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos
nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
