Veritas

Veritas is the declarative configuration of my servers, desktops and laptops. This project is based on the NixOS operating system and uses home-manager to manage my dotfiles, for both NixOS and non-NixOS hosts (like WSL).

Why Nix?

Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. It provides atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of build environments.

Why NixOS?

NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages.

Usage

Veritas is currently built using Nix flakes, and as such requires a version of Nix with flake support.

From the directory containing a clone of this repository, running nixos-rebuild will build the flake output nixosConfigurations.<hostname>:

$ nixos-rebuild switch
