Personal NixOS Configuration

This repository contains all of the configuration for my computers running NixOS.

Test VM

A test virtual machine can be built to test the configuration. Simply run nix build .#nixosConfigurations.testvm.config.system.build.vm.

Installation guide

• Boot the NixOS live image
• Load the necessary kernel modules using modprobe (dm-cache, dm-raid...)
• Partition the disk
• Mount root at /mnt and esp at /mnt/boot
• Clone this repo
• Run nixos-generate-config and adjust host config according to the generated files
• Run nix-shell -p nixUnstable --run "nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' build .#nixosConfigurations.${hostname}.config.system.build.toplevel"
• Run nixos-install --system ./result
