## Athena Nix
Athena Nix currently provides several configurations (still in test):
* **runtime**
A configuration can be deployed in several ways:
### Flakes
#### Remote
```
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake 'github:Athena-OS/athena-nix#runtime' --impure
```
#### Local
Running command inside `athena-nix` directory:
```
git clone https://github.com/Athena-OS/athena-nix
cd athena-nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '.#runtime' --impure
```
Running command outside `athena-nix` directory:
```
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '/.#runtime' --impure
```
`--impure` is used because the deployment can be applied according to your `hardware-configuration.nix`.
### Configuration
```
git clone https://github.com/Athena-OS/athena-nix
cd athena-nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=nixos/configuration.nix
```
### Notes
The default user and password in the configuration is `athena:athena`. Be sure to change user and password inside `athena-nix/flake.nix` file by editing `username` and `hashed` (or `hashedRoot` for your root account) attributes according to your needs when you deploy this configuration.
Passwords must be set as hash (i.e., SHA-512) instead of cleartext. To create it in a secure way run:
```
nix-shell -p openssl
openssl passwd -6 yourpassword
```
Finally, paste the generated hash in `hashed` or `hashedRoot` inside `flake.nix`.
The usage of **nix-shell** is important to create the password in an ephimeral environment, in order to not keep the command history stored in the system.
