Denast NixOS Configuration

A configuration for NixOS that I personally daily drive

Features

• Flakes + Home Manager
• Multiple configurations in a single config (see below)
• Dotfiles are packaged with the configurations and automatically symlinked using home manager

Deployment Instructions

Initial Setup

1. Clone the Repository on the New Machine:

   git clone https://github.com/TheDenast/nixos-config.git /home/denast/.nixos-config

2. Select configuration to build. Currently available:

   • asus-ga401iu
   • framework-13

3. Rebuild the System with the New Configuration:

   sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/denast/.nixos-config#{configuration}

   Where {configuration} is your configuration of choice

System Updates

Since the configuration uses flakes to overwrite pinned nixpkgs version, in order to complete the system update you have to update the flake.lock first

1. Update flake.lock

   cd /home/denast/.nixos-config
   nix flake update

2. Rebuild the system with new flake.lock

   sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/denast/.nixos-config#{configuration}

3. If the update went well, commit and push the changes

   git add .
   git commit -m "Flake update"
   git push

Configuration Updates

1. Make changes to the configuration:

   cd /home/denast/.nixos-config
   nvim configuration.nix  # or any other editor

2. Rebuild the system to test the changes:

   sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/denast/.nixos-config#{configuration}

3. If all went well, commit and push the changes:

   git add .
   git commit -m "specify what you changed here"
   git push
