nixos-config

nixos-config copied to clipboard

This repository contains the Nix / NixOS configuration for all of my systems. Start from flakes.nix (see Flakes).

To build,

# First, edit nixosConfigurations or darwinConfigurations in flake.nix to add
# your system's hostname. And then change `userName` to your username.
make

  • Clone this repo at /etc/nixos
  • Edit flake.nix and add your Linux's hostname in the nixosConfigurations set, as well as update userName.
  • Run make. That's it. Re-open your shell.
• macOS:
  • Install Nix normally (multi-user)
  • Install nix-darwin
    • This will create a ~/.nixpkgs/darwin-configuration.nix, but we do not need that.
  • Clone this repo anywhere
  • Edit flake.nix and add your Mac's hostname in the darwinConfigurations set, as well update userName.
  • Run make.[^cleanup] That's it. Re-open your shell.

[^cleanup]: You might have to rm -rf /etc/nix/nix.conf, so our flake.nix can do its thing.
