Nix Starter Config (Minimal version)

This is a simple nix flake for getting started with NixOS + home-manager.

What this provides

NixOS configuration on nixos/configuration.nix, accessible via nixos-rebuild --flake .
Home-manager configuration on home-manager/home.nix, accessible via home-manager --flake .

Assuming you have a basic NixOS booted up (either live or installed, anything works). Here's a link to the latest NixOS downloads, just for you.

Install git
Hit "Use this template" on this repo (or clone this down and push to any another git remote)
Add stuff you currently have on /etc/nixos/ to nixos (usually configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix, when you're starting out).
- The included file has some options you might want, specially if you don't have a configuration ready. Make sure you have generated your own hardware-configuration.nix; if not, just mount your partitions to /mnt and run: nixos-generate-config --root /mnt.
If you're already using home-manager, add your stuff from ~/.config/nixpkgs to home-manager (probably home.nix).
- I also include one with some simple options if you need. Feel free to ignore this step if you don't want to use home-manager just yet.
Take a look at flake.nix, making sure to fill out anything marked with FIXME (required) or TODO (usually tips or optional stuff you might want)
Push your changes! Or at least copy them somewhere if you're on a live medium.

To get everything up and running, you need flake-enabled nix and/or home-manager.

For simplicity, this minimal version does not include a bootstrap shell.

Check the NixOS wiki for information on how to enable flakes.

Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#hostname to apply your system configuration.
- If you're still on a live installation medium, run nixos-install --flake .#hostname instead, and reboot.
Run home-manager switch --flake .#username@hostname to apply your home configuration.

Once you're confortable with this flake, take a look at the full version, it includes boilerplate for overlays, custom packages, and more.
