Truxnell's homelab
Leveraging nix, nix-os to apply machine and home configurations
Background
Having used a variety of infracture as code solutions - and having found them lacking in some areas, it is time to give nix a go. Frustrations with other methods tend to be bitrot and config drift - very annoying to want to do a quick disaster recovery and find your have different versions of modules/utilities, breaking changes in code you didnt catch, etc.
Getting started
To Install
# nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:truxnell/nix-config#HOST
Goals
- Learn nix
- Mostly reproduce features from my existing homelab
- Replace existing ubuntu-based 'NAS'
- Expand usage to other shell environments such as WSL, etc
- handle secrets - decide between sweet and simple SOPS or re-use my doppler setup.
TODO
- Github Actions update fly.io instances (Bitwarden)
- Bring over hosts
- DNS01 Raspi4
- DNS02 Raspi4
- NAS
- Latop
- WSL
- JJY emulator Raspi4
- Documentation!
- Add license
- Add taskfiles

Applying configuration changes on a local machine can be done as follows:
cd ~/dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
# This will automatically pick the configuration name based on the hostname
Applying configuration changes to a remote machine can be done as follows:
cd ~/dotfiles
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nameOfMachine --target-host machineToSshInto --use-remote-sudo
