# First Install on new Machine
|
|
|
|
## NixOS install
|
|
|
|
1. Install nix minimal:
|
|
|
|
- Partitions
|
|
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- mklabel gpt` - make GPT partition table
|
|
- `parted /dev/DEVICE -- mkpart NIXROOT ext4 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
|
|
- Formatting
|
|
- `mkfs.ext4 -L NIXROOT /dev/DEVICE_1` - root ext4
|
|
- `mkfs.fat -F 32 -n NIXBOOT /dev/DEVICE_2` - boot FAT
|
|
- Mount
|
|
- `mount /dev/disk/by-label/NIXROOT /mnt`
|
|
- `mkdir -p /mnt/boot`
|
|
- `mount -o umask=077 /dev/disk/by-label/NIXBOOT /mnt/boot`
|
|
(Note that swap files is defined in nix config later not needed at this stage)
|
|
|
|
- nixos config and hardware config
|
|
- `export HOSTNAME=desired_hostname_for_this_machine`
|
|
- `export USERNAME=desired_username_for_admin_on_this_machine` (josh)
|
|
- `nixos-generate-config --root /mnt`
|
|
- `cd /mnt/etc/nixos`
|
|
- `curl -O https://share.joshuabell.link/nix/onboard.sh`
|
|
- `chmod +x onboard.sh && ./onboard.sh`
|
|
- verify hardware config, run `nixos-install`
|
|
- `reboot`
|
|
- log into USERNAME with `password1`, use `passwd` to change the password
|
|
|
|
> Easiest to ssh into the machine for these steps so you can copy paste...
|
|
|
|
- `cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`
|
|
- On an already onboarded computer copy these and add them to secrets/secrets.nix file
|
|
- Rekey secrets: `nix run github:yaxitech/ragenix -- --rules ~/.config/nixos-config/common/secrets/secrets/secrets.nix -r`
|
|
- Maybe copy hardware/configs over and setup, otehrwise do it on the client machine
|
|
- git clone nixos-config `git clone https://git.joshuabell.xyz/ringofstorms/dotfiles ~/.config/nixos-config`
|
|
- Setup config as needed
|
|
- top level flake.nix additions
|
|
- add hosts dir and files needed
|
|
- `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/nixos-config/hosts/$HOSTNAME`
|
|
- Update remote, ssh should work now: `cd ~/.config/nixos-config && git remote remove origin && git remote add origin "ssh://git.joshuabell.xyz:3032/ringofstorms/dotfiles" && git pull origin master`
|
|
|
|
## Local tooling
|
|
|
|
- bitwarden setup/sign into self hosted vault
|
|
|
|
- atuin setup
|
|
- if atuin is on enable that mod in configuration.nix, make sure to `atuin login` get key from existing device
|
|
- TODO move key into secrets and mount it to atuin local share
|
|
- ssh key access, ssh iden in config in nix config
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
Dual booting windows?
|
|
|
|
- If there is a new boot partition being used than the old windows one, copy over the /boot/EFI/Microsoft folder into the new boot partition, same place
|
|
- If the above auto probing for windows does not work, you can also manually add in a windows.conf in the loader entries: /boot/loader/entries/windows.conf:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
title Windows 11
|
|
efi /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
|
|
```

# Nix Infrastructure & Automation Improvements
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Replace deployment scripts with [`deploy-rs`](https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs)** for declarative, hands-off host updates.
|
|
Remove manual `deploy_linode`/`deploy_oracle` scripts. Use `deploy-rs` to apply updates across one or all hosts, including remote builds.
|
|
- [ ] **Add `isoImage` outputs for every host for instant USB/boot media creation.**
|
|
Use:
|
|
```
|
|
packages.x86_64-linux.install-iso = nixosConfigurations.<host>.config.system.build.isoImage;
|
|
```
|
|
Then:
|
|
```
|
|
nix build .#packages.x86_64-linux.install-iso
|
|
```
|
|
- [ ] **Document or automate new host bootstrap:**
|
|
- Script or steps: boot custom ISO, git clone config, secrets onboarding (agenix), nixos-install with flake config.
|
|
- Provide an example shell script or README note for a single-command initial setup.
|
|
- [ ] **(Optional) Add an ephemeral “vm-experiment” target for NixOS VM/dev testing.**
|
|
- Use new host config with minimal stateful services, then
|
|
`nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake .#vm-experiment`
|
|
- [ ] **Remote build reliability:**
|
|
- Parametrize/automate remote builder enable/disable.
|
|
- Add quickstart SSH builder key setup instructions per-host in README.
|
|
- (Optional) Use deploy-rs's agent forwarding and improve errors if builder can't be reached at deploy time.
|
|
- [ ] **Add [disko](https://github.com/nix-community/disko) to declaratively manage disk/partition creation for new installs and reinstalls.**
|
|
|
|
- work on secrets pre ragenix, stormd pre install for all the above bootstrapping steps would be ideal
|
|
- reduce home manager, make per user modules support instead
|
|
- Ensure my neovim undohistory/auto saves don't save `.age` files as they can be sensitive.
|
|
|
|
# Server hosts
|
|
|
|
simply run `deploy` in the host root and it will push changes to the server (or `deploy_[oracle|linode] <name>` from root)
