## Installation
1. Boot into a NixOS 24.05 minimal ISO
2. If you want to use WiFi in the minimal ISO create config: `wpa_passphrase | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf` activate it: `sudo wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlp5s0`
3. Run `sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko --flake github:rubenhoenle/dotfiles/main#deathstar --arg disk '"/dev/nvme0n1"'`
4. Run `sudo nixos-install --flake github:rubenhoenle/dotfiles#deathstar`
5. Reboot
6. Login using `root`
7. Open a Terminal using `Mod` + `Enter`
8. `cd /home/ruben`
9. `git clone [email protected]:rubenhoenle/dotfiles.git`
## Backups
I use restic for my backups. The backups are stored on Backblaze B2 via the S3 API and on a local harddrive.
### Backblaze B2 backup
The backup to Backblaze B2 is automated and runs every hour.
``` bash
# showing the status of the backblaze b2 backup
systemctl status restic-backups-b2.service
# showing the snapshots of the backblaze b2 backup
restic-b2 snapshots
```
### Local harddrive backup
[restic documentation for restoring](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/050_restore.html)
``` bash
# starting the HDD backup
systemctl start restic-backups-hdd
# showing the status of the HDD backup
systemctl status restic-backups-hdd
# showing the snapshots of the HDD backup
restic-hdd snapshots
# restoring the backup from the HDD
restic-hdd restore latest --target /
```
## Fingerprint authentication
```bash
# add fingerprint
sudo fprintd-enroll ruben
# verify fingerprint
sudo fprintd-verify ruben
```
## agenix
[agenix](https://github.com/ryantm/agenix) is a tool for encrypted secrets in your NixOS config.
### Restic environment variable file
``` bash
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
```
### Adding a new secret to agenix
``` bash
cd secrets
agenix -e secret1.age
```
### Adding a new SSH key to agenix
Add the new public key into `secrets.nix`.
``` bash
# rekey the secrets
agenix -r
```
## Troubleshooting
### Restarting Waybar manually
After doing a nixos-rebuild which changed some waybar settings, it might be
necessary to restart the waybar manually to apply the changes.
`systemctl --user restart waybar`
### Hibernation
Don't forget to set the proper sleep state option (`Linux`) in the BIOS in menu `Config -> Power`.
