Quick start

# Assumes your partitions are set up and root is mounted on /mnt
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hlissner/dotfiles/nixos/deploy | sh

Which is equivalent to:

USER=${USER:-hlissner}
HOST=${HOST:-kuro}
NIXOS_VERSION=19.09
DOTFILES=/home/$USER/.dotfiles

git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
ln -s /etc/dotfiles $DOTFILES
chown -R $USER:users $DOTFILES

# make channels
nix-channel --add "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIXOS_VERSION}" nixos
nix-channel --add "https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/release-${NIXOS_VERSION}.tar.gz" home-manager
nix-channel --add "https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable" nixpkgs-unstable

# make /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
echo "import /etc/dotfiles \"$$HOST\" \"$$USER\"" >/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix

# make install
nixos-install --root /mnt -I "my=/etc/dotfiles"

Management

• make = nixos-rebuild test
• make switch = nixos-rebuild switch
• make upgrade = nix-channel --update && nixos-rebuild switch
• make install = nixos-generate-config --root $PREFIX && nixos-install --root $PREFIX
• make gc = nix-collect-garbage -d (use sudo to clear system profile)
