Mein dotfiles

There are a few, special computers in my life; local and remote. Maintaining them was busywork no sane individual wants to do. NixOS tempted me with the promise of glorious reproducibility, and declared its declarative-ness with enough chutzpah to make anime real again.

XDG conventions in hand, I set out to conquer my white whale and annihilate what vestiges of my social life remain.

Operating System: NixOS 19.09
Shell: zsh 5.7.1 + 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
Icon Theme: Paper Mono Dark

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=${USER:-hlissner}
DOTFILES=/home/$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 \"$$(hostname)\"" >/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)
