Move to nixpkgs/master 
For that 5.9.2 kernel goodness. Since I can track nixpkgs myself, I'm
using nixpkgs/master now (and twice, so I can track them at separate
rates).

Though, for now, nixpkgs == nixpkgs.unstable

Made with Doom Emacs NixOS 20.09

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.
Shell: zsh + zgen
DM: lightdm + lightdm-mini-greeter
WM: bspwm + polybar
Editor: Doom Emacs (and occasionally vim)
Terminal: st
Launcher: rofi
Browser: firefox
GTK Theme: Ant Dracula

Quick start

  1. Yoink NixOS 20.09 (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 /mnt/etc/nixos
  5. Install NixOS: nixos-install --root /mnt --flake /mnt/etc/nixos#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!

Management

And I say, bin/hey. What's going on?

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 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.
