These are just some simple install notes for myself (in-case I have to reinstall unexpectedly).

** Install Notes for Myself
|
||
|
|
To get this running on a NixOS system, I will start by cloning the repo:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/librephoenix/nixos-config.git /path/to/my/config/folder
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get the hardware configuration on a new system, I can other copy from =/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix= or run:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
sudo nixos-generate-config --dir /dotfiles/path/system
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, I can switch into the system configuration by running:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
cd /dotfiles/path
|
||
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#snowfire
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Home manager can be installed with:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
|
||
|
|
nix-channel --update
|
||
|
|
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If home-manager starts to not cooperate, it may be because the unstable branch of nixpkgs is in the Nix channel list. This can be fixed via:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Home-manager may also not work without re-logging back in after it has been installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once home-manager is running, my home-manager configuration can be installed with:
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noeval
|
||
|
|
home-manager switch --flake .#emmet
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This loads in my convenience script =phoenix=, which replaces frequently used nix and nixos commands with more user friendly ones, namely:
|
||
|
|
- =phoenix sync= to build and switch system and home configuration
|
||
|
|
- =phoenix sync system= to build and switch only system configuration
|
||
|
|
- =phoenix sync user= to build and switch only home configuration
|
||
|
|
- =phoenix update= to update flake inputs
|
||
|
|
- =phoenix gc= to garbage collect
|
||
|
|
- If no argument is given, it cleans anything older than 30 days
|
||
|
|
- If a time argument is supplied (i.e. 10d), it cleans stuff older than that (10 days in this example)
|
||
|
|
- If the argument =full= is given, it deletes /all/ previous generations
