My configuration for NixOS. Obtain a NixOS ISO here.

Note that you may want to exclude linking my hardware-configuration.nix if it causes issues.

Clone my repo.

git clone [email protected]:AdamCiuris/nixos.git && cd nixos && bash apply nixos

bash apply clears everything in your /etc/nixos and remakes. It will default to the last nixos system built.

apply also accepts nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem names from flake.nix as an argument. Different options are nixos, lock, and compclub.

Download the multi-user nix if it doesn't already exist the grab home-manager. Match your nixpkgs version (using tag since anything else breaks mint) with the home-manager version:

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-{VERSION}.tar.gz home-manager && \
nix-channel --add https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/refs/tags/{VERSION}.tar.gz nixpkgs && \
nix-channel --update && \
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

Run bash apply-standalone which clears everything in your nix home-manger config and relinks.

With nix installed enter nix repl:

nix repl>:lf /etc/nixos
nix repl>nixosConfigurations.<hostname>

To generally inspect nixos and nixpkgs:

nix-repl>:l <nixos/nixpkgs>
