** Installation

(I highly recommend making your own configuration and copy snippets from mine, but anyway...)

Get the latest NixOS 22.05 image [[https://releases.nixos.org/?prefix=nixos/unstable/][here]], do your partitions (root must be mounted at =/mnt=), then run the following commands: #+begin_src sh

move the output file of this to hosts/*/hardware-configuration.nix

nixos-generate-config

nix-shell -p git nixUnstable git clone https://github.com/fortuneteller2k/nix-config ~ cd ~/nix-config sudo nixos-install --flake '.#superfluous'

After rebooting

home-manager switch --flake '.#moni' #+end_src

For WSL, follow the [[https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL#quick-start][quickstart guide]], then run the following commands: #+begin_src sh nix shell nixpkgs#git git clone https://github.com/fortuneteller2k/nix-config ~ cd ~/nix-config sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '.#turncoat' home-manager switch --flake '.#zero' #+end_src

*** Caveats

• You probably should replace [[https://github.com/fortuneteller2k/nix-config/blob/master/hosts/superfluous/hardware-configuration.nix][hosts/superfluous/hardware-configuration.nix]] with your own with =nixos-generate-config=.
• You might want to change all instances of my username to yours.
• Comment out every =__contentAddressed = true;= in =hosts=.
• You might want to disable =agenix=, for my secret cannot be decrypted without my private key. See [[https://github.com/fortuneteller2k/nix-config/blob/master/hosts/superfluous/default.nix][hosts/superfluous/default.nix]] and [[https://github.com/fortuneteller2k/nix-config/blob/master/users/moni/config/zsh/default.nix][users/moni/config/zsh/default.nix]].

** Description

NixOS configuration that I use daily, it contains the system-wide and home configuration, symlinked to =/etc/nixos=.

*** Why flakes?

[[https://github.com/jonringer][jonringer]] gave a [[https://discourse.nixos.org/t/what-are-nix-flakes-and-why-should-i-care/12910/3][brief explanation]] as to why one might want to use Nix flakes.
