# nix-macos-testing
## Testing flake on a ubuntu VM
```
# Manually edit the config file and make the home directroy writable
limactl create --mount-type 9p --arch=x86_64 template://ubuntu-lts
limactl shell ubuntu-lts
sudo apt-get install -y make
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install --extra-conf "warn-dirty = false"
. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh
make
```
## Getting started on a Linux Desktop
Create a btrfs subvole for nix if applicable:
```
sudo btrfs subvolume create /nix
```
Install nix
```
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
# Depending on the shell
. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.fish
. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh
# Potentially modify the flake.nix and add the system
make
# Clear out the firefox profile (assuming we used it to download the repo)
rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox/
# Log out and back in to make nix work
# Run ansible playbook
make ansible_reqs
make ansible
# Start Firefox and select the default profile
firefox -ProfileManager
```
Copy over things that are not synced:
```
rsync --delete -av ~/Library/Thunderbird/ 192.168.1.180:./.thunderbird/
```
## Getting started on a new Mac
Give full disk access to Terminal.
Install homebrew
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
Install nix
```
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
```
Clone the repo
```
git clone https://github.com/dsander/nix-testing
cd nix-testing
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
make
```
Clean the dock
```
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array && killall Dock
```
Sync Thunderbird Profile
```
rsync -av --progress --delete ~/Library/Thunderbird/ thorax.local:Library/Thunderbird/
```
Sublime
```
rsync -av --progress --delete ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text/ thorax.local:"Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text/"
```
Then delete Package (but User) and installed packages https://packagecontrol.io/docs/syncing
iTerm
To apply go to `Settings` -> `General` -> `Preferences` and load from
`/Users/dominik/.config/iterm2`
Import uBlock filters from `data/ublock-static-filters.txt`
Import Tampermonkey scripts from Google Drive
## Nix being nix
Looks like nobody uses it like this, we have home-manager and still use asdf to manage node and ruby
version. This does not really work with how Nix installs neovim and the nodejs integration. `vim
$(which nvim)` does wrap the binary and adjusts the PATH but appends the nodejs path, this causes
nvim to fail if there is a non working `node` binary anywhere "before" the nix store node path ...
`node_host_prog` does NOT overwrite the node path, it only is some sort of binary neovim still tries
to execute node, this fails if asdf is installed but no global node binary is configured ...
Soo just do `asdf global nodejs 20.11.1` and be done with it, very "immutable" ... maybe we can
somehow manually prepend the nixpgs node path in the neovim config?
Why does this suffix and not postfix the nix store path?!? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/5eeded8e3518579daa13887297efa79f5be74b41/pkgs/applications/editors/neovim/utils.nix#L98
More context:
home-manager extraPackages for neovim used to use `prefix` in `extraMakeWrapperArgs` but switched to
`suffix` as similar to how the neovim package does it. The reasoning is to make it work similar to
direnv and other tools that switch the underlying PATH when vim is used more like an IDE. We do not
need it at the moment but could become an issue if we used it more like this.

https://www.github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4330
Maybe we could wrap neovim in a flake or manually add things to `extraMakeWrapperArgs` unsure if
that is worth it though.
## Proxmox NixOS research / resources
As per usual there isn't a working guide out there, what we want to do
* Auto deploy new LXC/VMs based on Nix
* Update their configuration
* Maybe / potentially tie this into our existing Ansible repository because there will always be non
nix systems
### Getting an LXC working (ish)
nixos-rebuild switch doesn't work
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/nixos.proxmoxLXC.x86_64-linux#tabs-status
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Proxmox_Virtual_Environment
https://mtlynch.io/notes/nixos-proxmox/
Maybe with this?
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/release-23.11/nixos.proxmoxLXC.x86_64-linux
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/proxmox-lxc-systemd-networkd-container-image/38586/2
Same error:
```

```
Outdated?
