# Nix Configuration
## Install and Setup
### Install nix and nix-configs
```bash
sudo apt install curl git
git clone https://github.com/rkalnins/nix-config.git
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
. /home/rmk/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
```
### Home Manager
```bash
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update
# simply export for now, take care later to avoid polluting current configs
export NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels${NIX_PATH:+:}$NIX_PATH
nix-shell '' -A install
```
### Setting up nix config
```bash
# add experimental features to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
mkdir ~/.config/nix && touch ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
```
### Symlinking `nix-config` and `nixpkgs`
```bash
rm -rf ~/.config/nixpkgs
ln -s ~/nix-config ~/.config/nixpkgs
```
### Finally
```bash
home-manager switch
```
Make sure using 64-bit kernel. Using 32-bit was causing all kinds of rebuilds and issues.
Then, if there's a conflict,
```bash
sudo rm /nix/store/-nix-2.5.1/share/zsh/site-functions/_nix
sudo rm /nix/store/-home-manager-path/share/zsh/site-functions/_nix
# run switch again
home-manager switch
```
Might have to add `export NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels${NIX_PATH:+:}$NIX_PATH` to somewhere
## Headless VM
### Using new network adapter
From [UChicago instructions](https://howto.cs.uchicago.edu/vm:headless):
1. Create new network using VirtualBox > Tools
2. Add host-only network adapter to VM (Settings > Network), set name to new network created in step 1
3. Setup VM:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server
# check with `nmcli con show` for correct connection first
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 2" ipv4.method "manual" ipv4.addresses "192.168.56.101/24"
```
### Port forwarding
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo apt shutdown -h now
```
Add entry to port forwarding list for VM (Settings > Network > NAT adapter > Advanced > Port forwarding)
```
Host: 127.0.0.1
Host port: xxxx
VM port: 22
```
## Roadmap
- Package these instructins into some kind of deploy script
