# Orlando's Dotfiles - Nix Edition

## Installing on a new machine

Enable flakes inside of installer

```bash

export NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes"

```

Clone dotfiles into `/mnt/etc/nixos`

```bash

# pull git package

nix-shell -p git

git clone https://github.com/skbolton/nix-dotfiles /mnt/etc/nixos

cd /mnt/etc/nixos

```

Create a new host directory for machine

```bash

mkdir hosts/$HOSTNAME

```

Generate config - this will scan the hardware and add a `hardware-configuration.nix` for host

```bash

nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

```

Move generated `hardware-configuration.nix` into host dir

> TODO: Maybe there is a way to set where to dump this file to?

```bash

mv hardware-configuration /hosts/$HOSTNAME

```

Remove `configuration.nix` that was generated. The other hosts have enough of a template to copy

```bash

rm configuration.nix

```

Make a `default.nix` for host

```

vim hosts/$HOSTNAME/default.nix

```

Copy and nudge contents of this file based on other hosts

> TODO: Maybe I can break some stuff out into more common shared code?

Add new host entry to `flake.nix`. Copy from a different host and then nudge `$HOSTNAME`.

Run installer

> This is going to ask some questions about accepting trust levels

```bash

nixos-install --flake .#$HOSTNAME

```

## Building custom iso

```bash

nix build '.#install-isoConfigurations.minimal'

```
