**Hey,** you. You're finally awake. You were trying to configure your OS declaratively, right? Walked right into that NixOS ambush, same as us, and those dotfiles over there.

## Quick start
|
|
|
|
1. Yoink [NixOS 20.09][nixos] (must be newer than Sept 12, 2020 for `nixos-install --flake`).
|
|
2. Boot into the installer.
|
|
3. Do your partitions and mount your root to `/mnt`
|
|
4. `git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles /etc/nixos`
|
|
5. Install NixOS: `nixos-install --root /mnt --flake #XYZ`, where `XYZ` is your
|
|
hostname. Use `#generic` for a simple, universal config.
|
|
6. OPTIONAL: Create a sub-directory in `hosts/` for your device. See [host/kuro]
|
|
as an example.
|
|
7. Reboot!
|
|
|
|

## Frequently asked questions
|
|
|
|
+ **Why NixOS?**
|
|
|
|
Because declarative, generational, and immutable configuration is a godsend
|
|
when you have a fleet of computers to manage.
|
|
|
|
+ **How do I change the default username?**
|
|
|
|
1. Set `USER` the first time you run `nixos-install`: `USER=myusername
|
|
nixos-install --root /mnt --flake #XYZ`
|
|
2. Or change `"hlissner"` in modules/options.nix.
|
|
|
|
+ **How do I "set up my partitions"?**
|
|
|
|
My main host [has a README](hosts/kuro/README.org) you can use as a reference.
|
|
I set up an EFI+GPT system and partitions with `parted` and `zfs`.
|
|
|
|
+ **How 2 flakes?**
|
|
|
|
It wouldn't be the NixOS experience if I gave you all the answers in one,
|
|
convenient place.
