# Personal NixOS configuration
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) config files are merged.
## DWL
## Installaion
### Install NixOS
1. Follow the [manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/) and install NixOS with any desktop environment and reboot.
1. Update the generated nixos configuration in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
The new configuration must have: user configuration, `flakes` enabled, `cachix` (optional), `git`, `git-crypt`, internet setup, `firewall` disabled
Check the [configuration.nix](configuration-example.nix) example
### Install host config
Reboot into NixOS, login with the user you created
1. Connect to internet
```
# The following commands will work if you enabled `networking.networkmanager.enable = true;`
$ nmtui
$ ping google.com
```
If `ping google.com` doesn't work, try updating your DNS
```
$ vim /etc/resolv.conf
# add `nameserver 8.8.8.8` to `/etc/resolv.conf`
```
1. Use local cachix, if you have 2 machines using the same nix config/channels (optional)
```
# Run on another machine, with nixos installed
$ nix-serve -p 8080
# On current/new machine, test
$ curl http://192.168.x.x:8080/nix-cache-info
```
On the current/new machine, update `nix.settings.substituters` config, add `http://192.168.x.x:8080`, then restart
1. Clone this repository into `/home//.config/nix-config`
```
$ git clone https://github.com/wochap/nix-config.git ~/.config/nix-config
```
1. Rebuild nixos with the host's specific config, for example, heres's a rebuild for my `gdesktop`
**WARNING:** First `nixos-rebuild` with device config can take several hours, maybe you want to disable some modules
```
# Go to nix-config folder
$ cd /home//.config/nix-config
$ nixos-rebuild boot --flake .#gdesktop
# or if you want to switch to a specialisation
# $ nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#gdesktop --specialisation hyprland-specialisation
```
Reboot so changes take effect
**NOTE:** If you encounter an error related to `home-manager`, it is likely due to a file collision, and you will need to remove a file. You can identify which files are in conflict with the following command: `systemctl status home-manager-.service`. After resolving all the collisions, you can restart the `home-manager-.service`.
1. Set password for new user `` if you haven't
```
# for example
$ passwd gean
```
### Post install
1. Install ssh keys
Copy `.ssh` backup folder to `/home//.ssh`
```
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
$ ssh-add
```
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-manage-multiple-ssh-keys/
1. Unlock secrets folder
Copy `git-crypt-key` backup
```
$ cd /home//.config/nix-config
$ git-crypt unlock /path/to/git-crypt-key
```
1. Install gpg keys
```
$ gpg --import private.key
```
1. Enable autologin (optional)
```sh
$ sudo touch /etc/security/autologin.conf
```
1. Setup Syncthing (http://localhost:8384)
1. Setup desktop wallpaper (optional)

1. Setup mail
Generate [App passwords](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) in [Google Account settings](https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/apppasswords)
Copy App password (16 digits) to secrets/mail/
1. Setup calendar
A browser should open automatically asking for google credentials, otherwise run:

```

1. [Flatpak](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flatpak) (optional)
1. Setup steam (optional)
Run steam, login, setup proton.
## Upgrating NixOS
Update inputs on `flake.nix`, then:
```sh
$ cd /home//.config/nix-config
$ nix flake update --recreate-lock-file
$ sudo nixos-rebuild boot --flake .#gdesktop
```
## Development Workflow
- Setup a project with [nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv)
```
$ nix flake new -t github:nix-community/nix-direnv ./
$ direnv allow
# update flake.nix
```
