Installation instructions

Prerequisites:

  • Disable Secure Boot

Bare-metal

  1. Download NixOS ISO & mount on machine
  2. Delete some stuff: sudo su && rm -rf /etc/nixos /etc/NIXOS && mkdir -p /etc/nixos
  3. Clone this repo to the machine:
    • nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run nixpkgs#git -- clone https://github.com/keenanweaver/nix-config.git /etc/nixos/.
  4. Partition the disks:
    • nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /etc/nixos/hosts/desktop/disko.nix
    • nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /etc/nixos/hosts/laptop/disko.nix
    • nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /etc/nixos/hosts/pi/disko.nix
    • nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /etc/nixos/hosts/vm/disko.nix
  5. Verify hardware-configuration.nix disk IDs, add to repo hardware-configuration.nix:
    • nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
  6. If necessary, comment out nix-nonfree flake/import.
  7. Enter nix-shell:
    • nix-shell --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" -p git
  8. Set up Secure Boot keys:
    1. Verify ESP is mounted at /boot: bootctl status
    2. Create keys: sudo sbctl create-keys
  9. Install:
    • nixos-install --flake .#nixos-desktop
    • nixos-install --flake .#nixos-laptop
    • nixos-install --flake .#nixos-pi
    • nixos-install --flake .#nixos-unraid
  10. Reboot: reboot
  11. Finish Secure Boot setup:
    1. Rebuild your system and check the sbctl verify output: sudo sbctl verify
    2. Reboot to BIOS and enable Secure Boot. You may need to erase all Secure Boot settings.
    3. Reboot and enroll the keys: sudo sbctl enroll-keys --microsoft
    4. Reboot and verify Secure Boot is activated: bootctl status

Existing machine

  1. Clone this repo to the machine:
    • nix run nixpkgs#git -- clone https://github.com/keenanweaver/nix-config.git /etc/nixos/.
  2. Update flake (optional):
    • sudo nix flake update /etc/nixos
  3. Apply configuration:
    • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --upgrade --flake /etc/nixos/#nixos-desktop
    • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --upgrade --flake /etc/nixos/#nixos-laptop
    • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --upgrade --flake /etc/nixos/#nixos-pi
    • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --upgrade --flake /etc/nixos/#nixos-unraid

Post-install manual steps

  1. Copy private SSH keys & secrets to ~/.ssh and ~/.config/sops/age respectively.
  2. Set up ~/.config/nix.conf with private GitHub token for nix-nonfree repo: access-tokens = github.com=ghp_blahblahblah
  3. Uncomment out nix-nonfree flake input (optional)
  4. Initialize ssh-agent: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 && ssh-add -l
  5. Run nixos-rebuild switch

Desktop/laptop

    • distrobox create assemble
    • distrobox enter bazzite-arch-exodos -- bash -l -c "bootstrap-distrobox"
    • distrobox enter bazzite-arch-gaming -- bash -l -c "bootstrap-distrobox"
  2. Set up games. See GAMES.md
