Iynaix's NixOS Config

This config is intended to be used with NixOS. There is experimental support for running the dotfiles on legacy operating systems.

Features

• Multiple NixOS configurations, including desktop, laptops and VM
• Persistence via impermanence (both / and /home)
• Automatic ZFS snapshots with rotation
• Flexible NixOS / Home Manager config via feature flags
• sops-nix for managing secrets
• Hyprland with waybar setup, with screen capture
• Dynamic colorschemes using wallust (pywal, but maintained)

How to Install

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso / from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following install script partitions the disk, sets up the necessary datasets and installs NixOS.

From a standard ISO,

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iynaix/dotfiles/main/install.sh)

From the custom iso built via nbuild-iso ISO_HOST,

iynaixos-install

Reboot

sudo zfs snapshot zroot/persist@persist-snapshot
sudo zfs send zroot/persist@persist-snapshot > SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH

# the rename is needed for encrypted datasets, as -F doesn't work
sudo zfs receive -o mountpoint=legacy zroot/persist-new < SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist zroot/persist-old
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist-new zroot/persist

System Rescue

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso / from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following script optionally reformats the boot partition and / or /nix dataset, then reinstalls NixOS.

From a standard ISO,

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iynaix/dotfiles/main/recover.sh)

From the custom iso built via nbuild-iso ISO_HOST,

iynaixos-recover
