NixOS config files from mrflos

NixOS config files to make a perfect (for me) server or desktop environment and local dev environment. Should be modular (cf. modules folder). Mostly all was stolen, I mean inspired by tazjin's nix files from TVL's repo

Installation and setup

On a fresh NixOS installation

• check out this repository, for example in your home git clone https://code.mrflos.pw/mrflos/nixos-config.git ~/nixos-config (ideally fork this repo and clone it with ssh to be able to commit your customs)
• copy the NixOS generated configuration to the machines folder cp /etc/hardware-configuration.nix ~/nixos-config/machines/<machinename>-hardware-configuration.nix
• copy the example configuration file in the machines folder cp ~/nixos-config/machines/example-configuration.nix ~/nixos-config/machines/<machinename>-configuration.nix
• edit your machine configuration file ~/nixos-config/machines/<machinename>-configuration.nix, make changes and uncomment modules according to your needs for this machine
• copy the example configuration file ~/nixos-config/configuration.example.nix to ~/nixos-config/configuration.nix
• edit the main configuration file ~/nixos-config/configuration.nix and point to the right files

# NixOS config entry point
# import the hardware and configuration files specific to your machine
{
  imports =
    [
      ./machines/<machinename>-hardware-configuration.nix
      ./machines/<machinename>-configuration.nix
    ];
}

• move the old /etc/nixos folder sudo mv /etc/nixos /etc/nixos.old and symlink your custom one sudo ln -s ~/nixos-config /etc/nixos
• run the install sudo nixos-rebuild switch
• if all good don't forget to commit your changes
