# Kieran's Dots
> [!CAUTION]
> These dots are highly prone to change / breakage.
>
> ~I am not a nix os expert (this is my first time touching nix), so I'm not sure if this will work or not. I'm just trying to get my dots up on github.~
>
> After `158` successfull days of these dots being in constant opperation, many many rebuilds, and `256` commits these dots have been rock solid and I have no complaints.
## The layout
```bash
/etc/nixos
├── home-manager - all the config's that use home manager and stored centraly here
│ ├── app - any apps that have home manager configs like neovim get a file here
│ ├── dots - any config files that need to be symlinked go here eg my hyprland config
│ ├── machines - the different machines by hostname
│ │ └── moonlark - my framework laptop
│ └── wm - window manager config; honestly it could probly be moved to app/hyprland
│ └── hyprland - hyprland config
├── moonlark - the files pertaining to my moonlark machine that aren't home manager related
└── secrets - any secrets that are encrypted with agenix go here
10 directories
```
## Installation
~~I have absolutely no idea~~ I kinda understand now?
1. Install NixOS via the [official guide](https://nixos.org/download.html)
2. `sudo -i`
3. Enable git with `sed -i 's/^{$/{\n programs.git.enable = true;/' /etc/nixos/configuration.nix` and then run `nixos-rebuild switch`
4. Download the disk config with `curl https://github.com/kcoderhtml/dots/raw/master/moonlark/disk-config.nix -o /tmp/disk-config.nix`
5. Run disko with `nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /tmp/disk-config.nix`
6. Mount disk with `mount | grep /mnt` and then `cd /mnt/etc/nixos`
7. Clone this repo to your `/mnt/etc/nixos` folder with `git clone https://github.com/kcoderhtml/dots.git .`
8. Add your ssh private key to `/mtn/etc/ssh/id_rsa`
9. install the flake: `nixos-install --flake .#moonlark --no-root-passwd`
10. Once it finishes run nix install and then reboot
```bash
nixos-install
reboot
```
11. Pray to the nix gods that it works 🙏
12. If it worked then you should be able to login with the user `kierank` and the password `lolzthisaintsecure!`
13. Change the password with `passwd kierank`
14. Move the config to your local directory with `mkdir ~/etc; sudo mv /etc/nixos ~/etc`
15. Link the config back to `/etc/nixos` with `sudo ln -s ~/etc/nixos /etc`
16. Change the config permissions: `sudo chown -R $(id -un):users ~/etc/nixos`, `sudo chown kierank -R ~/etc/nixos`, and `sudo chown kierank -R ~/etc/nixos/.*`
17. Setup the fingerprint reader with `sudo fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger kierank` and then verify it worked with `sudo fprintd-verify kierank` (you may need to swipe your finger across the fingerprint sensor instead of simply laying it there)
