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
foldercp /etc/hardware-configuration.nix ~/nixos-config/machines/<machinename>-hardware-configuration.nix
- copy the example configuration file in the
machines
foldercp ~/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 - 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
foldersudo mv /etc/nixos /etc/nixos.old
and symlink your custom onesudo ln -s ~/nixos-config /etc/nixos
- run the install
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
- if all good don't forget to commit your changes
