NixOS Configs#

These are my configs for my NixOS/nix-darwin machines.

Installation#

I've installed using various methods:

  • Graphical installer
  • disko-install
  • Manual installation
  • Hybrid of manual installation with disko configured partitions

Lately my process looks like this:

  • I have a flake that configures all of my systems together.
  • There are some disk configs in ./setup.
  • When installing on a new machine that I have physical access to, boot into the graphical installer.
  • Copy and hardcode in the values from one of the disk configs (this amounts to setting the device and username). Also edit it so that you can just import it rather than calling it as a function that produces a module.
  • Run the disko partitioning command (look in their docs).
  • Create the configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix according to their instructions, making sure to import the disko module and the disk config in this machine's config.
  • If you remember, edit configuration.nix to add a user and set an initial password, otherwise you'll find yourself needing to use root to log in.
  • Run nixos-install and find out where you screwed up the config.
  • Once it's done, boot. You probably don't have Wi-Fi at this point, so connect to ethernet.
  • Get a git package via nix-shell -p git so that you can clone the flake.
  • Clone the flake, copy over modifications like the disk config, then try to nixos-rebuild switch into it.
  • Cross your fingers and hope that it works.
