Vic's Nix Environment

Bootstrapping

Installing NixOS (Boot from Bombadil USB)

TODO: Automate this on Bombadil USB (Issue #75)

# Edit your partitions.  Mount /mnt/{boot,home,etc}
git clone https://github.com/vic/vix /mnt/home/vic/vix

# Make sure you update hosts/HOST/{filesystems, hardware-configuration}.nix
# To match the current hardware.

# Will be used during home-manager activation, to link .config files.
ln -sfn /home/vic/vix /mnt/home/vic/.flake

# Setup local sops keys via SSH Forwarded SOPS_SERVER.
# You will be prompted for a Password.
nix run path:/mnt/home/vic/vix#vic-sops-get -- \
  --keyservice tcp://SOPS_SERVER:5000 -f SSH_KEY --setup - \
  >> /mnt/home/vic/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

# Finally install nixos
nixos-install --root /mnt --flake /mnt/home/vic/vix#HOST

# You will be prompted for a root password by the installer
# Dont forget to choot and setup password for users.

Installing on Windows-WSL2 (Boot NixOS-WSL2)

TODO: Generate WSL2 tarball (Issue #83)

# * import and boot from NixOS-WSL
# * clone, link-flake and setup-sops-keys (see NixOS install)

# apply configuration
nix run path:~/vix#os-rebuild -- HOST switch

# on a windows terminal:
> wsl.exe --terminate NixOS
> wsl.exe -d NixOS

Installing on MacOS

You need nix installed.

We recommend Lix Installer, and using install macos --volume-label if you are using multiple MacOS installations.

# * install nix
# * clone, link-flake and setup-sops-keys (see NixOS install)

# apply configuration
nix run path:~/vix#os-rebuild -- HOST switch

Every day usage

nix run path:~/vix#os-rebuild -- HOST switch
