x1c running NixOS

asciicast

• After partitioning, formatting and mounting the filesystems, run:

  # Just to be sure, that /etc/nixos is created...
  nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

• Clone this repository, edit nixos/configuration.nix and nixos/hardware-configuration.nix... Replace UUID with hardware new UUIDs, push changes. If you're not me, you can't push changes. So just use that clone after editing those files:

  cd cloned_repo_path
  nixos-install --impure --flake .#x1c

  x1c is my hostname. So if you want to change it, don't forget to replace it three places:

  • 1 in nixos/configuration.nix
  • 2 in flake.nix
  • 3 when invoking nixos-install

• After installation, install home-manager and then give it this flake to copy dotfiles.

  nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz
  nix-channel --update
  nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
  home-manager switch --flake github:Awan/nix#ak
