## My Nix files, now organized in a flake.
## Jimbo's Nix Systems
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.
Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* flake!
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
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.
