TODO working on changes to this now

First Install on new Machine

NixOS

export HOSTNAME=desired_hostname_for_this_machine (___) export USERNAME=desired_username_for_admin_on_this_machine (josh)

• Follow nixos installation guide: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Installation_Guide

  • Follow until the config is generated

• curl -O https://share.joshuabell.link/nix/onboard.sh && chmod +x onboard.sh && ./onboard.sh

• reboot

• log into USERNAME with password1, use passwd to change the password

• 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/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://github.com/RingOfStorms/dotfiles.git ~/.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

• Update remote, ssh should work now: cd ~/.config/nixos-config && git remote remove origin && git remote add origin "git@github.com:RingOfStorms/dotfiles.git" && git pull origin master

Darwin

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

• clone neovim setup...

Settings references:

• Flake docs: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes
• nixos: https://search.nixos.org/options
• home manager: https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml TODO make an offline version of this, does someone else have this already?

TODO

• Use top level split out home manager configurations instead of the one built into the system config...
• Make a flake for neovim and move out some system packages required for that into that flake, re-use for root and user rather than cloning each place?
• EDITOR env var set to neovim
• gif command from video

gif () {
  if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
    echo "No gif specified"
    return 1
  fi
  ffmpeg -i $1 -filter_complex "fps=7,scale=iw:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=max_colors=32[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" $1".gif"
}

• Ensure my neovim undohistory/auto saves don't save .age files as they can be sensitive.
• make sure all my aliases are accounted for, still missing things like rust etc: https://github.com/RingOfStorms/setup
• add in copy paste support with xclip or nix equivalent
