Lotte's Nixos Configurations

Dependencies

Flake support must be enabled.

Usage

Building a new ISO

$ sudo nix build .#nixosConfigurations.customISO.config.system.build.isoImage

This might take a while to build ... especially the creating the squashfs filesystem might take up to an hour.

Installing a config

Flash the ISO to a USB drive using dd, for example:

$ sudo dd if=result/iso/{your.iso} of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress

Boot your new device from the usb drive. Clone this config using

$ git clone https://github.com/Chwiggy/nix-config.git

switch to the branch you want to install list the existing drives with lsblk to write your desired disko configuration Run disko to set up the partitions as you declared them in your disko config:

$ sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko /tmp/disk-config.nix

Test if things worked correctly by

$ mount | grep /mnt

If this is a fresh install, and you haven't generated a hardware configuration yet run

$ nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --root /mnt

and move the result in the correct location in `.hosts/{your-nixos-config}

finish your install by running

$ nixos-install
$ reboot

Switching to a config

$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#{Config}

If you don't want to change between different configs you can just use

$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
