## TODO working on changes to this now
#### Old config before granular module + flakes
<https://git.joshuabell.xyz/ringofstorms/dotfiles/src/commit/741363b361dbb1f7f08dad81c3d7b3bd2cdae093>
### Old Config prior to per system flake approach

- Partitions
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- mklabel gpt` - make GPT partition table
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- mkpart NIXROOT 2GB 100%` - make root partition (2GB offset for boot)
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 2GB` - make boot partition (2GB)
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- set 2 esp on` - make boot bootable
- LUKS Encryption (optional)
- `cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/DEVICE_1`
- Create passphrase and save to bitwarden
- `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/DEVUCE_1 cryptroot`
- Create keyfile for auto-unlock (optional)
- `dd if=/dev/random of=/tmp/keyfile_DEVICE_1 bs=1024 count=4`
- `chmod 400 /tmp/keyfile`
- `cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/DEVICE_1 /tmp/keyfile_DEVICE_1`
- Formatting
- `mkfs.btrfs -L NIXROOT /dev/mapper/cryptroot`
- `/dev/sda1` if not encyrpted instead of dev mapper cryptroot
- `mkfs.fat -F 32 -n NIXBOOT /dev/DEVICE_2`
- Create btrfs subvolumes (optional: for better snapshot perf)
- `mount /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt` (`/dev/sda1` for non encrypted)
- `btrfs subvolume create /mnt/root`
- `btrfs subvolume create /mnt/nix`
- `btrfs subvolume create /mnt/snapshots`
- `umount /mnt`
- Mount (with sub vols above)
- `mount -o subvol=root,compress=zstd,noatime /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt`
- `mkdir -p /mnt/{nix,boot,.snapshots}`
- `mount -o subvol=nix,compress=zstd,noatime /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt/nix`
- `mount -o subvol=snapshots,compress=zstd,noatime /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt/.snapshots`
- `mount -o umask=077 /dev/disk/by-label/NIXBOOT /mnt/boot`
- Mount (with no sub vols)
- `mount -o compress=zstd,noatime /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt`
- `mkdir -p /mnt/boot`
- `mount -o umask=077 /dev/disk/by-label/NIXBOOT /mnt/boot`
