my nixos/home-manager flake configurations

• darwin: home-manager only, I don’t employ nix-darwin.

• aarch64, x86_64 vm(cloud and local): nixos with embeded home-manager.

• legacy linux distribution like ubuntu: home-manager only.

bootstrap tips

The newly installed NixOS does not come with vim by default, I’m not used to the nano editor. Use the following command to temporarily use vim:

nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes shell nixpkgs#vim

: make pin-registry
: nix shell nixpkgs#git nixpkgs#home-manager
: home-manager switch --flake .
: #or
: nix run nixpkgs#home-manager switch -- --flake .

: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#tart-vm

installation

new disk install

in-place installation by copytoram

lustrate installation

first, install nix, then install nixos from the flake:

$ bash <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
$ e2label /dev/vda1 nixos
$ mkdir ~/.config/nix
$ cat <<EOF >~/.config/nix/nix.conf
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
keep-outputs = true
keep-derivations = true
max-jobs = auto
EOF
$ nix profile install --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system github:penglei/nix-configs#nixosConfigurations.slim.config.system.build.toplevel
$ sudo chown -R 0:0 /nix
$ sudo touch /etc/NIXOS
$ sudo touch /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
$ echo etc/nixos | sudo tee -a /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE
etc/nixos
$ sudo mv -v /boot /boot.bak
renamed '/boot' -> '/boot.bak'
$ sudo /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
$ shutdown -r now
$ nix-collect-garbage
