## How to use:
### MacOS:
First build the Nix Flake:
```bash
nix build --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" .#darwinConfigurations.Matejas-MacBook-Pro.system
```
Then use the produced result directory (symlink) to switch into the configuration for the first time:
```bash
./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/nix-setup
```
Every time you change something you can just use this command, just don't forget to stage or commit the changes with Git:
```bash
darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/nix-setup/.#
```
### NixOS:
This command is all you need:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/nix-setup/.#
```
### Server VM (testing):
Sadly, using this command you can build VMs only for Linux. Building VMs on MacOS (especially on M1) is to much of a hassle for me personally.
```bash
nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake .#server
./result/bin/run-server-vm
```
You can SSH into a VM using:
```bash
ssh -p 50000 localhost
```
You might want do delete the state of the previous VM instance:
```bash
rm server.qcow2
```
## How to update packages:
You can update the flake using this command, which is going to update the flake lock file:
```bash
nix flake update
```
After than you can update the system itself by switching into the flake with
`nixos-rebuild switch` or `darwin-rebuild switch` depending on the platform you
use.
You can also use this, if you are feeling too lazy to commit the changes yourself:
```
nix flake update --commit-lock-file
```
## How to update a single flake input:
Here's an example for updating `matejasblog` package:
```bash
nix flake lock --update-input matejasblog
```
## How to optimise storage:
List all of the available generations:
```bash
sudo nix-env --list-generations --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system
```
Remove all but the current generation:
```bash
sudo nix-collect-garbage -d
```
Garbage collect unneeded entires:
```bash
nix-store --gc
```
Optimise the store by manually running the command (potentially long operation):
```bash
sudo nix-store --optimise
```
