My NixOS Configurations
=======================

NixOS is an advanced GNU/Linux distribution featuring declarative configuration and atomic upgrades. You can learn more on [nixos.org](https://nixos.org/nixos/about.html).

In this repository are the configurations of my NixOS machines.

You can find the configurations from other people in the [nixos.wiki](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Configuration_Collection).

## Usage

My workflow with this code is to `rsync` it to the machine and symlink the system configuration.

[davidak@X230:~]$ rsync -ah --delete --progress /home/davidak/code/nixos-config/ root@nas.lan:nixos/
	[root@nixos:~]# rm /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
	[root@nixos:~]# ln -s /root/nixos/machines/compaq_dc7800/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
	[root@nixos:~]# nixos-rebuild switch

This way i can test a change before committing it to the git repository. To update the configuration, just use the first and last command.

For new machines, follow the install instructions in the [manual](https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/) and extend it with inspirations from the machines here.

I use the latest stable release `nixos` channel to have a reliable system and the `nixos-unstable` channel to get the latest version for some packages. I also use `nixos-hardware` channel for hardware specific settings and `home-manager` for user specific configuration.

Add the channels with this commands:

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos-unstable
	nix-channel --add https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/archive/master.tar.gz nixos-hardware
	nix-channel --add https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/release-20.03.tar.gz home-manager
	nix-channel --update

(execute as root or with sudo)
