### My Nix files, now organized in a flake.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: Documentation
|
||||
Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* configs!
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
To unlock secrets, use this command:
|
||||
``
|
||||
gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --decrypt local.key.asc | git-crypt unlock -
|
||||
``
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
Installing any of my flakes onto a system should be done after any initial install. I would opt to do a minimal install, but this is up to you.
|
||||
After installing NixOS, backup your hardware-config.nix file, so you can adapt it to fit the format of ``nixos/hardware/machines``, then adjusting the other referenced files in the flake.nix file to reference your specific computer.
|
||||
|
||||
An initial install will have to be ran as ``nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/.#HOSTNAME``, where HOSTNAME 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 would have to be done with ``home-manager switch --flake /etc/nixos``. This will pull the config as defined in the flake as ``USER@HOSTNAME``, where USER is the user running the ``home-manager`` command.
|
||||
|
||||
My config heavily references a gnupg-protected secrets file. These will have to be adapted and rewritten if anyone is to use my config for themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
For my use, to unlock secrets, use this command:
|
||||
``gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --decrypt local.key.asc | git-crypt unlock -``
|

Made with love ❤️
