Partitioning
We create a 512MB EFI boot partition (
/dev/nvme0n1p1
) and the rest will be our LUKS encrypted physical volume for LVM (/dev/nvme0n1p2
).$ gdisk /dev/nvme0n1
o
(create new empty partition table)n
(add partition, 512M, type ef00 EFI)n
(add partition, remaining space, type 8e00 Linux LVM)w
(write partition table and exit)
Setup the encrypted LUKS partition and open it:
$ cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p2 $ cryptsetup config /dev/nvme0n1p2 --label cryptroot $ cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 enc
We create two logical volumes, a 24GB swap parition and the rest will be our root filesystem
$ pvcreate /dev/mapper/enc $ vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/enc $ lvcreate -L 24G -n swap vg $ lvcreate -l '100%FREE' -n root vg
Format partitions
$ mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/nvme0n1p1 $ mkswap -L swap /dev/vg/swap $ swapon /dev/vg/swap $ mkfs.btrfs -L root /dev/vg/root
Mount partitions
$ mount -t btrfs /dev/vg/root /mnt # Create the subvolumes $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/root $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/home $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/nix $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/log $ umount /mnt # Mount the directories $ mount -o subvol=root,compress=zstd,noatime,ssd,space_cache=v2 /dev/vg/root /mnt $ mkdir -p /mnt/{home,nix,var/log} $ mount -o subvol=home,compress=zstd,noatime,ssd,space_cache=v2 /dev/vg/root /mnt/home $ mount -o subvol=nix,compress=zstd,noatime,ssd,space_cache=v2 /dev/vg/root /mnt/nix $ mount -o subvol=log,compress=zstd,noatime,ssd,space_cache=v2 /dev/vg/root /mnt/var/log # Mount boot partition $ mkdir /mnt/boot $ mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
-
Enable flakes
$ nix-shell -p nixFlakes
-
Install nixos from flake
$ nixos-install --flake 'github:rxyhn/dotfiles#lenovo'
-
Reboot, login as root, and change the password for your user using passwd
-
Log in as your normal user.
-
Install the home manager configuration
$ home-manager switch --flake 'github:rxyhn/dotfiles#rxyhn@lenovo'

It worked perfectly on my machine, but I can't guarantee it will work on your machine |
