## Installing Arch Linux



You can follow this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxeriGuJKTM&t=354s, to install Arch Linux using the Arch Linux Installer. Just make sure you choose `Hyprland` as the desktop environment and `NetworkManager` as the network management tool.



You can list available wifi networks using this command :

```sh

nmcli dev wifi list

```



and connect with one, using this command :

```sh

nmcli dev wifi connect  password 

```



To verify that you're successfully connected to your wifi, run this command :

```sh

ip addr show

```

the `wlan0` network interface must have an IPv4 address assigned.



## Setup



First install Nix :

```sh

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

```



Then get into a temporary Nix shell, where you'll have access to git, stow and home-manager.

```sh

nix-shell -p git stow home-manager vim

```



Clone this repository :

```sh

git clone https://github.com/Archisman-Mridha/dotfiles ~/dotfiles

cd ~/dotfiles

```



You can customize [.config/home-manager/config.nix](.config/home-manager/config.nix) based on your

underlying system. Then execute the following commands :

```sh

stow --no-folding .



home-manager switch --impure

```



On MacOS, run the following to install nix-darwin :

```sh

nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake $(pwd)/.config/home-manager

```



The packages specified in [packages.nix](./.config/home-manager/modules/home-manager/packages.nix) and [homebrew.nix](./.config/home-manager/modules/nix-darwin/homebrew.nix) will be installed in your system.



Execute this command, if you want to cleanup Nix cache :

```sh

nix-collect-garbage -d

```



## Arch Linux specific gotchas



- While executing `stow --no-folding .`, in Arch Linux, if you get an error as such :

	```log

	* cannot stow dotfiles/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf over existing target .config/hypr/hyprland.conf since neither a link nor a directory and --adopt not specified

	```

	In that case, first execute `stow --no-folding . --adopt`. Then, navigate to `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf` and replace the content with whatever is present [here](./.config/hypr/hyprland.conf).



- If you're in Arch Linux, your default shell will be Bash. And as far as I know, we cannot change the default shell using HomeManager (since that requires root privileges). So, manually execute the following commands, to make zsh your default shell :

	```sh

	grep -qxF $(which zsh) /etc/shells || echo $(which zsh) | sudo tee -a /etc/shells

	chsh -s $(which zsh)

	```



- zsh plugin manager isn't automatically installing `kube-ps1`. So you need to do it yourself :

	```sh

	yay -S kube-ps1

	```



- Run this, so SSHD starts up automatically on boot :

	```sh

	sudo systemctl enable sshd

	```



## Updating packages



Go to [./.config/home-manager/](./.config/home-manager/) and run :



```sh

nix flake update

home-manager switch --impure

```



## Password management using gopass



### Bootstrap



Since, the company I currently work for uses [Password Store](https://www.passwordstore.org), I will be settling with [gopass](https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass) for now. But, if someday I discontinue working with them, I'll might give [sops-nix](https://youtu.be/G5f6GC7SnhU?si=baQEJPWG1dWgIqZQ) a try.



First, generate a GPG key-pair (which never expires), using this command :

```sh

gpg --gen-key

gpg --edit-key 

```

Make sure you backup this GPG key-pair somewhere safe. You can view the actual public and private keys using :

```sh

gpg --export --armor 

gpg --export-secret-keys --armor 

```



Next, initialize the password store using :

```sh

pass init 

```



You can follow this tutorial, to learn further more about gopass : https://youtu.be/FhwsfH2TpFA?si=ZIo4NmrTHEcgxS_u.



### Concurrent setups



First, import and trust the GPG keypair :

```sh

gpg --import password-store.private-key.gpg

gpg --import password-store.public-key.gpg



gpg --edit-key  (and then type trust and hit Enter)

```



Then, as usual, initialize the password store using `pass init `.



The SSH key-pair I use to sign commits and authenticate against Github, is stored at `personal/github/ssh`. So, I use these commands to complete my Github setup :

```sh

pass show personal/github/ssh/private-key > ~/.ssh/github

pass show personal/github/ssh/public-key  > ~/.ssh/github.pub

```



Don't forget to set correct file permission for the private key file :

```sh

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/github.pub

```

otherwise you'll get `file permissions too open` error.



> A small script can be made for a better UX.



## Wezterm (and tmux)



- [Copy Mode](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/copymode.html)

- [Quick Select Mode](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/quickselect.html)



## Working in my Arch Linux machine from my Macbook



Everytime, I connect to the wifi from my Arch Linux machine, I want it to get assigned with the same private IPv4 address : `192.168.29.146/24`. I can pull it off, using this command :

```sh

sudo nmcli connection modify "Bandwidth 5" \

  ipv4.method manual \

  ipv4.addresses "192.168.29.146/24" \

  ipv4.gateway "192.168.29.1" \

  ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"



sudo nmcli connection up "Bandwidth 5"

```



In my Macbook, I open Neovim and run `:DistantInstall`. This will install the distant binary in my Macbook. Then, I run `:DistantLaunch ssh://@` to connect to the Arch Linux machine.



> distant.nvim currently doesn't support NeoTree and Telescope integration. But work on them is ongoing. So, as of now, I just SSH into my Arch Linux machine and run Neovim within that SSH session.

## TODOs



- [x] Detect the underlying OS and CPU architecture, based on which the [macos.config.nix](./.config/home-manager/macos.config.nix) or the [archlinux.config.nix](./.config/home-manager/archlinux.config.nix) will be imported in [flake.nix](./.config/home-manager/flake.nix).



- [x] Setup gopass.



- [ ] Configure Hyprland.



- [ ] Shift the files inside [.config/home-manager](./.config/home-manager) to [.config/nix](./.config/nix). The [.config/home-manager](./.config/home-manager) name is a bit confusing, since it contains files related to both HomeManager and nix-darwin.



	> I tried to do so, but was getting this error while doing `home-manager switch --flake ~/.config/nix#"archismanmridha" :

	>

	> 		access to absolute path '/nix/dotfiles' is forbidden in pure evaluation mode (use '--impure' to override)

	>

	> Using the --impure flag didn't solve the issue.



- [ ] Enable image support in Neovim



- [ ] Setup distant.nvim - lualine integration
