Deploying#

Once deployed, any system can be switched by using just switch from inside the repo.

NixOS (using nixos-anywhere)#

Todo, once I deploy a NixOS system from scratch. Likely going to use nix-anywhere

  1. Create a new host key in 1Password 'Secrets' Vault called {{system}} - Host Key (type ed25519)
  2. Add the pubkey to secrets/secrets.nix and rekey if required.
  3. Prepare the host and any services as required.
  4. Run just install {{hostname}} {{ip address}} - after some time, NixOS should be installed.

Darwin#

  1. Install Lix
  2. Rebuild using nix-darwin and nh: sudo nix run nixpkgs#nh -- darwin switch .#{{host}}
    • Artemis is the only Darwin machine currently.
  3. Edit /etc/shells to add /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish on the last line, then run chsh -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish
  4. Reboot for good measure.

Remote#

Remote deployment doesn't work from Darwin currently, so I use nixosvm1 as a middleman. This job will be moved to Hypnos, once it's up. In theory, just deploy {{host}} should work.
