NixOS

NOTE: this NixOS config is not currently working and is a work in progress. Take anything in this repo with a grain of salt (for now).

Machines

Opslag

Main Home Server machine. Will eventually host some sort of MergerFS/SnapRaid setup as well as a few services like Jellyfin, Navidrome, PiHole etc.

Setup

mkdir -p /mnt/etc/nixos/

git clone https://github.com/lukethacoder/nix-config /mnt/etc/nixos/

TODO: do we use disko or nah?

Before running, make sure to edit the disko/ configuration you wish to use.

# nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /mnt/etc/nixos/disko/opslag.nix

Double check your disk has been correctly partitioned.

# Generate the flake.lock file
sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" flake lock

# Check the configuration
nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" repl

nix-repl:> :lf .
# added 9 variables

nix-repl:> outputs.nixosConfigurations.opslag.config.fileSystems
# { "/" = { ... }; "/boot" = { ... }; }

nix-repl:> outputs.nixosConfigurations.opslag.config.fileSystems."/"
# { autoFormat = false; autoResize = false; depends = [ ... ]; device = "/dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-main-root"; encrypted = { ... }; formatOptions = null; fsType = "ext4"; label = null; mountPoint = "/"; neededForBoot = false; noCheck = false; options = [ ... ]; stratis = { ... }; }

Install NixOS

# the '#opslag' is the name of your device you setup in your flake
sudo nixos-install --root /mnt --flake '/mnt/etc/nixos#opslag'
# NOTE: You will be prompted to set the root password at this point.
sudo reboot
