*Nix rules everything around me*

- [Repo Layout](#repo-layout)

- [Secrets](#secrets)

- [Other Interesting Nix Repos](#other-interesting-nix-repos)



## Overview



* nix configuration for my laptop~s~, ~desktops~, ~sbcs~, ~phones~, and cloud servers

* **nix flake**-powered

* guaranteed to be **reproducible**

* **immutable** *full* system configuration (**dotfiles**, but on steroids)



#### notes



* some commits may have empty commit messages, this is from me attempting to

  use and learn [`jj`](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj).



## Components



* `home-manager` for user-based app/desktop configuration

* `sops-nix` for secrets (encrypted at rest, per-host encryption)

* `terranix` for cloud server creation/deletion automation

* custom commands for easy gpg-over-ssh usage (`pkgs/commands.nix`)



## Repo Layout



(this sometimes drifts, but should be roughly accurate as of April 2023)



* `cloud`

  * automation and configuration for cloud servers

  * powered by `terranix`

* `docs`

  * notes to self

  * who knows what "great" ideas and tidbits it contains

* `hosts` 

  * toplevel machine definitions

  * `openstick`

    * configuration for a $10USD LTE USB Modem Stick

    * utilizes:

      * [my fork of mobile-nixos](https://github.com/colemickens/mobile-nixos/tree/openstick)

      * [my forked/hacked up copy of openstick's lk2nd with patches for my stick](https://github.com/colemickens/openstick-lk2nd)

      * [my forked/hacked up copy of openstick's linux, can't remember why I have my own fork](https://github.com/colemickens/linux/tree/openstick)

  * `installer` (meta, iso)

    * configuration for a custom `x86_64-linux` installer image

    * includes my SSH key and `sshd` enabled and most used programs

    * see: `nix build .#extra.x86_64-linux.installer`

  * `raisin` (laptop)

    * former-daily-driver

    * **Lenovo "Yoga Slim 7 Pro-14ACH5 Laptop (ideapad) - Type 82MS"**

    * remote (KS, USA) `zrepl` (`zfs`) and `syncthing` backup target

  * `zeph` (laptop)

    * current daily-driver

    * favorite, all-AMD, laptop ever

    * **ASUS Zephyrus G14 (2022) - GA402RJ**

    * dual-booting NixOS, of course, and Windows 11 for casual 120Hz/1600p gaming

* `misc/`

  * misc scripts

  * buyer beware

* `mixins/`

  * individual application configuration (mostly via `home-manager`)

  * mix of `home-manager` and `nixos` configuration

  * (`libvirt`, `prs`/`gopass`, `git`, `gnupg`, `spotifyd`, `tailscale`, `wezterm`, etc)

* `pkgs/`

  * my own "packages"

  * custom shell commands (gpg+ssh wrapper, etc)

  * tip-of-tree package overrides for:

    * `git-repo-manager`

    * `nushell`

    * `rio`

    * `wezterm`

* `profiles/`

  * bits that compose machine "personas"

  * `core.nix` - core bits, see also `mixins/common.nix`

  * `interactive.nix` - headless systems

  * `gui.nix` - baseline for GUI systems

  * `gui-wayland.nix` - common tools for wayland/wlroots compositors

  * `gui-sway.nix` - the start of my `sway` GUI configuration

  * `addon-dev.nix` - pull devtool's shell deps into system

  * `addon-laptop.nix` - common laptop bits, power management, etc

  * `addon-asus.nix` - extras for my ASUS laptop

  * `user-cole.nix` - my base `cole` user configuration

* `secrets/`

  * scripts to manage `sops` for `sops-nix`

  * `sops-nix` is great...

  * but `sops` is questionable-code-quality near-abandonware

* `shells/`

  * nix shells for various scenarios

    * `_minimal.nix` - minimal shell base

    * `ci.nix` - tools needed to drive CI for this repo

    * `devenv.nix` - complete set of tools for Go/Rust/Nix development

    * `uutils.nix` - experimentation with rust-based coreutils

* `main.nu`

  * a homegrown `nushell` (❤️) script for managing this repo

  * updates/rebases my flake inputs

  * updates/rebases my custom packages to tip-of-branch

  * updates the lock file

  * handles remote building and caching (without using nix's "remote builders")
