   # ./start
   

5. Create partitions ref

   $ sudo su root
   # curl -o partition https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usami/nixos-setup/master/partition
   # chmod +x partition
   # ./partition /dev/nvme0n1
   

6. Insert yubikey
7. Setup crypted volume

   # curl -o setup https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usami/nixos-setup/master/setup
   # chmod +x setup
   # ./setup /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /dev/nvme0n1p3
   

8. Get minimal setup configuration

   # cd /mnt/etc/nixos
   # rm configuration.nix
   # curl -o configuration.nix https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usami/nixos-setup/master/configuration.nix

Setup

For easy setup, finish-setup command does all the following steps.

1. Login as user yu (initial password: asdf)

3. Clone nixos config git

   $ git clone keybase://private/yusmi/nixos
   

4. Clone dotconfig git

   $ git clone keybase://private/yusmi/dotconfig
   

5. Create symbolic links

   $ cp /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /home/yu/nixos/
   $ sudo rm -rf /etc/nixos
   $ sudo ln -s /home/yu/nixos /etc/nixos
   $ rm -rf .config
   $ ln -s dotconfig .config
