# Nix, NixOS and Home Manager for mipmip's machine park



This is my mono-repository for my machines configuration and my dotfiles.



## Features



- multi machine

- flakes

- Custom patched Suckless Terminal (st)



### Mentional NUR's



- A 32 bits Brother printer driver

- Some Gnome Extensions packed directly from Github (useful is maintainers keep behind supporting the latest Gnome Versions)

- mip.rs, a fast and suckless markdown viewer written in Rust.

- WIP: Skull, a tool for managing git working copies on demand.

- some NUR crystal apps



## Usage



clone:



```

cd ~

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:mipmip/nixos.git

cd /etc

mv /etc/nixos /etc/nixos.bak

sudo ln -s /home/pim/nixos nixos

```



nixos-rebuild:



```

cd /etc/nixos

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#ojs

```



Home Manager:



```

cd /etc/nixos

home-manager switch  --flake .#pim@ojs --impure

```



### Add Agenix file



1. add file registration in secrets/secrets.nix

2. cd secrets

3. create file or edit file `agenix -e aws-credentials-copy.age`

4. add file purpose to modules/nix-agenix.nix



example: `agenix -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -e aws-credentials-copy.age`

### MacOS Provisioning



For macOS provisioning I only use Home-Manager from Nix. Cli tools are declared

in home-manager/programs/macos-bundle.nix. Other mac-apps are in

`home-manager/files-macos/Brewfile`. Install them with `brew bundle install`



- install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)

- install Nix on mac](https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos).

- then install Home Manager. See [Home Manager Manual](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html#sec-install-standalone)



### NixOS Programming



#### Check for missing modules



when refactoring it's nice to quickly see which hosts have missing modules. To

see this run:



```

./RUNME.sh missing_modules

```



### Home-Manager Depreciated (remove once tested)



Make sure home-manager is installed. On Mac I home-manager as single user

install. On nixos home-manager is installed automatically.



Create home dir conf:



```sh

mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs

echo "{\n  allowUnfree = true;\n}" > ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix

```



Make the symlink `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix` pointing to one of the home-confs

located in `~/nixos/home-manager/`



```sh

ln -s ~/nixos/home-manager/home-[some-home-conf].nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/

```



Test configuration with:



```

home-manager switch

```



### Home-Manager



```

home-manager switch  --flake .#pim --impure

```



## Features



### Linux Desktop Highlights



I use GNOME as desktop environment with a few extensions to give me some

features I'm used too from the time I used macOS as primary OS.



### Programming and writing



I payed a lot of time optimizing my terminal and vim configuration. I use

[St](https://st.suckless.org) with a few patches for better aesthetics.



My St/Vim writing configuration has a larger line height, a dedicated font, a

pure white background together with a grayscale writing theme. Here's a pic

showing my writing environment.

## Private



Stage 2 of my security strategy is a git submodule with some configurations not

relevant for public. This repo does not contain passwords or secrets.



# Pine Phone Pesto



## Build Image



Build from any nix machine with:



```sh

nix build './#pinephone-img'

```



If nix complains about some "experimental features", then add to the host's nix

config: `nix.extraOptions = "experimental-features = nix-command flakes";`



flash with:

```sh

sudo dd if=$(readlink result) of=/dev/sdb bs=4M oflag=direct conv=sync status=progress

```



Then insert the SD card, battery into your pinephone and hold the power button

for a few seconds until the power LED turns red. after releasing the power

button, the LED should turn yellow, then green. you'll see the "mobile NixOS"

splash screen and then be dropped into a TTY login prompt.



## Update with copy-closure



build on host machine



```

nix build .\#nixosConfigurations.pinephone.config.system.build.toplevel --print-out-paths

```



copy to pinephone



```

nix-copy-closure --to [email protected] ./result

```



on pinephone
