Nix System Configuration

This repository contains the system configuration for all my devices (currently one).

This configuration setup is "heavily based on" (copied from)

NOTE: There is currently no NixOS configs as this is deemed unnecessary for now as I am not using NixOS.

System Setup and Bootstrapping

Installing nix on Non-NixOS systems

Run the installer script:

./bin/install-nix.sh

Installing homebrew on Darwin

Some packages / brews / casks are not available in nix, so you need to install brew from brew.sh

Bootstrapping

NixOS (During install)

Clone this repo to /mnt/etc/nixos/flake or anywhere you like.

Add a new host to hosts/nixos.

Run the following to install the system:

sudo nixos-install --flake .#[host]

Darwin / Linux

Clone this repository into ~/.system with

git clone https://github.com/adrianchong518/system ~/.system

You can bootstrap a new nix-darwin system using

nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" develop -c sysdo bootstrap --darwin [host]

or a home-manager configuration using

nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" develop -c sysdo bootstrap --home-manager [host]

sysdo CLI Tool

The sysdo util is also developed by @kclejeune in kclejeune/system, which I directly "yoinked" and made slight modifications.

In the future, I would most likely write my own utility to fit my needs better.

Read sysdo.md for documentation and usage.
