My dotfiles - including my vim, terminal and font configs. Mostly focusing on setting things up on NixOS, but supporting other OSes where possible. ## bootstrap new machine with NixOS: 1. boot the target machine from the livecd 2. change password for the default user `nixos` 3. ssh from another, already bootstrapped, machine remote: ```bash sudo su - # `efibootmgr -b 000x -B` if you want to remove entry number x yes | parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt parted /dev/sda -- rm 1 parted /dev/sda -- rm 2 parted /dev/sda -- rm 3 parted /dev/sda -- rm 4 parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 1GiB parted /dev/sda -- set 1 esp on parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 1GiB 100% cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 ``` remote: ```bash cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypt ``` remote: ```bash mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda1 mkfs.btrfs -L nixos /dev/mapper/crypt sleep 1 mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt mkdir -p /mnt/boot mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot nixos-generate-config --root /mnt nixos-install ``` local: ```bash tar -cvz . > ../dotfiles.tar.gz scp ../dotfiles.tar.gz nixos@remote:/tmp ``` remote: ```bash mkdir -p /mnt/home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles/ tar -xvf /tmp/dotfiles.tar.gz -C /mnt/home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles cp /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles/nixos/boxes/bootstrap/ ln -vfs /mnt/home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles/nixos/boxes/bootstrap/1.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix nixos-install reboot ``` logged in as root on the target box: ```bash ln -vfs /home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles/nixos/boxes/bootstrap/2.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix vim /home/cyryl/dev/dotfiles/nixos/boxes/bootstrap/2.nix nixos-rebuild switch passwd cyryl reboot ``` 4. Create new / update the `boxes/hostname` entry with the edited bootstrap files from above ## guix I'm just starting to play with guix, these are just loose notes:
