Personal Nix Infrastructure

Everything in this repo is fully declarative. You should be able to go from zero to OS in 15 minutes.

Home Manager is managed separately from NixOS, so NixOS machines should follow both the NixOS and Home Manager sections below.

Pre-Install

• Clone this repo to ~/infra

NixOS:

Home Manager

Install / Switch

First, install Nix.

Then, run Home Manager. On non-NixOS systems, you need to add experimental-features = nix-command flakes to /etc/nix/nix.conf first. This can be removed once --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" on the command below starts working again.

nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake ~/infra#{mac,linux,nixos}

After this, you can use hmswitch.

Optional: Non-Default User

If you want to use a non-default user (mjmaurer), you should add it to flake.nix under homeConfigurations.

Optional: Manage as Standalone Flake

There's probably not much use to this, because you'd still have to update based on the central flake.

nix run home-manager/master -- init

After, you would need to setup the central flake as an input to the standalone flake, and use the appropriate homeConfiguration derivation. Then run:

nix run home-manager/master -- init --switch

You'd need to run nix flake update to update the standalone flake.

NixOS / Home Manager

Update Flake

Go to this repo and run nix flake update.

This will update the flake inputs (e.g. nixpkgs, home-manager, etc).
