[Repository Documentation](https://truxnell.github.io/nix-config/)
## Thank you Truxnell
Thank you for a lot of the groundwork you laid for the base nixos configuration and a lot of modules!
## Getting started
To Install
```sh
nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:jahanson/nix-config-tn#HOST
```
## Goals
- [ ] Learn nix
- [ ] Services I want to separate from my kubernetes cluster I will use Nix.
- [ ] Approval-based update automation for flakes.
- [ ] Expand usage to other shell environments such as WSL, etc
- [ ] keep it simple, use trusted boring tools
## TODO
- [ ] Forgejo Actions
- [ ] Bring over hosts
- [ ] git.hsn.dev
- [ ] Telperion (network services)
- [ ] Gandalf (NixNAS)
- [ ] Thinkpad T470
## Checklist
### Adding a new node
- Ensure secrets are grabbed from note and all sops re-encrypte with task sops:re-encrypt
- Add to relevant github action workflows
- Add to .github/settings.yaml for PR checks
## Applying configuration changes on a local machine can be done as follows:
```sh
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:
```sh
cd ~/dotfiles
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nameOfMachine --target-host machineToSshInto --use-remote-sudo
```
## Hacking at nix files
Eval config to see what keys are being set.
```bash
nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.rickenbacker.config.security.sudo.WheelNeedsPassword
nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.rickenbacker.config.mySystem.security.wheelNeedsPassword
```
And browsing whats at a certain level in options - or just use [nix-inspect](https://github.com/bluskript/nix-inspect) TUI
```bash
nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.rickenbacker.config.home-manager.users.jahanson --apply builtins.attrNames --json
```
Quickly run a flake to see what the next error message is as you hack.
```bash
nixos-rebuild dry-run --flake . --fast --impure
```
