Nix Configuration

Setup

First clone this repository. To configure wifi run nmtui.

mkdir develop && cd develop
nix-shell -p git
git clone https://github.com/Ekhorn/nix_config

Copy the hardware configuration to the host directory.

mkdir hosts/new-host/
cp /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix hosts/new-host/

Symlink nix flake to /etc/nixos/flake.nix.

sudo rm -rf /etc/nixos/*
sudo ln -s ~/develop/nix_config/flake.nix /etc/nixos/flake.nix

Setup user in configuration, and adjust to your liking.

cp hosts/pc-koen/configuration.nix hosts/new-host
cp hosts/pc-koen/home.nix hosts/new-host
nano hosts/new-host/configuration.nix
nano hosts/new-host/home.nix

Create and add new ssh key.

ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub >> modules/nixos/authorized_keys
git commit -m "conf: add authorized public key"

Lastly, rebuild the nixos configuration and reboot.

sudo nixos-rebuild switch .#new-host
reboot

Post-install Secrets Configuration

Update password manager.

unison
keepassxc ~/Desktop/$USER.kdbx

Then copy GPG from other system.

ssh other@hostname 'gpg --export-secret-keys -a "$(gpg -K | rg -o "[A-F0-9]{40}")"' | gpg --import
gpg --edit-key "$(gpg -K | rg -o "[A-F0-9]{40}")"

List drives

lsblk -f -o NAME,UUID,FSTYPE,SIZE

Set drive to mount

nvim hosts/new-host/hardware-configuration.nix

fileSystems."/mnt/hdd" =
  { device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/uuid";
    fsType = "ext4";
  };
