Gabyx's Dotfiles &
NixOS Configuration
These are my [dotfiles](config) managed with
[chezmoi.io](https://www.chezmoi.io) for Linux and MacOS (and partially the
other shit OS which desperately tries to convert itself into a \*nix OS) and
[NixOS](nixos) configurations for Desktop and VM.

## NixOS Configurations
See the [documentation](nixos/README.md) to learn how to install NixOS on to
your system or in a VM.
## Configuration Files
To install configuration files we use [`chezmoi`](https://www.chezmoi.io):
```shell
chezmoi init https://github.com/gabyx/chezmoi.git
chezmoi diff
```
and to apply use
- For non encrypted files use (which is truly non-interactively, no passphrase
prompt)
```shell
just apply-configs-exclude-encrypted
```
- For encrypted files use (which might prompt for the passphrase):
```shell
just apply-configs
```
### Minimal Requirements
To deploy the configs you need the minimal stuff installed:
- `findutils`
- `delta`
- `git`
- `git-lfs`
- `age`
- `just`
### Encryption
Chezmoi is configured to use `age` as encryption tool with a secret private-key
file [config/dot_config/chezmoi/key.age](config/dot_config/chezmoi/key.age)
which was generated with:
```shell
age-keygen > key
age-keygen | tee | age -e --armor > key.age && rm key
```
where the printed private key `P` acts as the passphrase to decrypt `key.age`.
This file `key.age` is encrypted and contains the private key for all `age`
encryption in this repository. The file is encoded in human-readable PEM format
(`--armor`).
The file `key.age` is decrypted when `chezmoi apply` is run in a
[_before_ hook](config/run_before_decrypt-private-key.sh) such that all
encrypted files can be decrypted in one go. The decrypted key is then again
deleted in a _after_ hook](config/run_after_delete-decrypted-private-key.sh).
The "passphrase" `P` can be stored into the login keyring to make
`just apply-configs` **pass non-interactively**:
```shell
secret-tool store --label='Chezmoi Key-File Passphrase' chezmoi keyfile-private-key
```
Inspect the store with `seahorse`.
### Mail & Calendar
I am using `gnome-online-accounts` because they work flawlessly for a various of
different providers (`google`, `Exchange`). The mail/calendar client `evolution`
is really good and has a very nice user-experience also with PGP etc. It is
honestly better than `thunderbird` and integrates better into the system and
also from a security perspective (does not contain a browser etc.).
Automated setup of these online accounts apparently works but is still a bit
brittle. It is crucial to follow the below steps.
#### Automated Setup
Setting up the accounts happens with the two folders:
- `~/.config/goa-1.0`
- `~/.config/evolution/sources`
Skip to step 3 on a fresh system.
1. Check that there are no online accounts already setup:
```shell
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
```
**Check tab `Online Accounts`.**
1. Make sure you do not have anything in your login keyring with a name starting
with `GOA`. Check `seahorse`. Should be automatically true if no _online
accounts_ are setup.
1. Kill all `evolution` processes: `evolution --force-shutdown`.
1. Delete all evolution settings and state:
Stop also the services for `evolution`:
```shell
systemctl --user stop evolution-addressbook-factory.service
systemctl --user stop evolution-calendar-factory.service
systemctl --user stop evolution-source-registry.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
```
```shell
rm -rf ~/.config/evolution
rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution
```
1. Apply the two folders `~/.config/goa-1.0` and `~/.config/evolution/sources`
with (**uncomment the ignore in `.chezmoiignore`**).
```shell
just cm apply
find ~/.config/evolution/sources -type f -name "*.source" | \
xargs -I {} sed -i -E "s@NeedsInitialSetup=false@NeedsInitialSetup=true@" {}
```
1. Restart the `dbus` service, as it controls the
[`goa-daemon`](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/goa-daemon.8.html).
Since we are using `dbus-broker` which exposes all `dbus` services as
`systemd` services we can restart it together with the `evolution` services
which might still be running.
```shell
systemctl --user restart dbus-broker
```
**This should log you out and then login again.**
Only resetting with
`systemctl --user restart dbus-:[email protected]` or
just login out did not work.
1. Stop any evolution already running after login.
```shell
evolution --force-shutdown
systemctl --user stop evolution-addressbook-factory.service
systemctl --user stop evolution-calendar-factory.service
systemctl --user stop evolution-source-registry.service
```
1. Now provide credentials to the online accounts in `gnome-control-center`:
```shell
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
```
1. Check `mail.nix` for adjustments in the `dconf` settings GUID strings.
1. Start `evolution` and you should see now all accounts be connected and
working. If `evolution` starts up without having picked up the accounts, you
probably need another `dbus` restart above or logout or complete `restart`.
#### Troubleshooting
- When I log out and in again, evolution gets sometimes really stuck in
authentication and what helps is to do
```shell
systemctl --user restart dbus-broker
```
- When `vdirsyncer sync` fails you can get the offending calendar entries by
doing:
```shell
curl -u "$user:$password" http://localhost:1080/users/[email protected]/calendar/
```
or delete it with
```shell
curl -u "$user:$password" -X DELETE http://localhost:1080/users/[email protected]/calendar/
```
which resolves duplicate items issues.
