## My Nix files, now organized in a flake. ## Jimbo's Nix Systems
Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* configs! Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* flake!
While this is primarily organized for my use only, you may find each individual service file or user config to be a good starting point, or something to take and adapt into your own config. While this is primarily organized for my own use, you may find each individual service file or user config useful to read and reference to adapt for your own systems.
### Installation ### Installation
Installing my flake has to be done from an existing system. A minimal install is fastest, but is up to you. After installing NixOS, backup your hardware-config.nix file, so you can adapt it to fit the format of ``/hosts``, adjusting other referenced files in the flake.nix file to reference your specific system. Installing this flake must be done from an existing system. A minimal install is fastest, but is up to you. After installing NixOS, backup your hardware-config.nix file, and adapt it to fit the format of ``/hosts``, adjusting for your specific system.
An initial install will can be done with ``nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/.#host``, where ``host`` is a hostname defined in your flake. You may also have to enable "experimental" features with a flag, such as nix-command and flakes.

Home-Manager is handled separately, despite being in the same folder. A rebuild of a user's home is done with ``home-manager switch --flake /etc/nixos``. This will pull the config as defined in the flake as ``user@host``, where ``user`` is the user running the ``home-manager`` command.
