# SnowyDots
My functional, advanced NixOS configuration.
Main configuration for SnowOS
&style=flat&logo=nixos&colorA=24273A&colorB=9173ff&logoColor=CAD3F5)
## Installing NixOS
### Installation
```bash
# Boot into the installer
# Connect to wifi, instructions on the wiki, link in the helpful links section.
# My installer has network manager installed so I use that instead of wpa utility
# Enter root shell
sudo -i
# Create you partitions, I personally use cfdisk, but you can use any tool e.g parted
cfdisk
# Format your partitions
mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/root-partition # your partition name here
# It isn't necessary to separate home and root but I do it anyway
mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/home-partition
# This may not be useful if like me, youuse zram, without swap devices
# Using swap partitions
mkswap -L swap /dev/swap-partition
swapon /dev/by-label/swap
# Mount your partitions
mount /dev/by-label/root /mnt
mount --mkdir /dev/boot-partition /mnt/boot
mount --mkdir /dev/by-label/home /mnt/home
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
# Edit the configuration
cd /mnt/etc/nixos
vi configuration.nix
# Check the partitions to make sure their mount points are correct
# Also check for swap if you're using a partition
vi hardware-configuration.nix
# Once you're done, install the system configuration
nixos-install
```
### Deploy my config
```bash
# Clone the github repo
git clone https://github.com/Daru-san/SnowyDots snow
# You should probably make your own system configurations for compatibility
# Feel free to edit any files in the repo to suit your needs, otherwise
cd snow/systems/laptop
# Copy your partitions to the hardware-configuration.nix file
vi hardware-configuration.nix
# Build the system configuration
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#system # e.g .#Aria
# Then build the home configuration
# If you haven't installed it yet
nix shell nixpkgs#home-manager
# Then switch the config
home-manager switch --flake .#daru@Aria
```
