Dotfiles

NixOS configuration files personalized for my daily driver and home server.

Work Computer

To get started, install NixOS, enable flakes and clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/lavafroth/dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake dotfiles#cafe-nosecureboot

Secureboot

• Use the preinstalled sbctl command to generate your keys
• Clear the manufacturer keys and enroll yours as described here.

Note: My system did not require enrolling Microsoft keys alongside mine. However, your setup might break if you don't. Research about your device carefully before enrolling keys.

• Run the following to rebuild the system from now on

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake dotfiles

Home Server

Install NixOS with the headless (no GUI) settings. Enable flakes. Clone this repo, enter the directory and run a rebuild for the host rahu.

git clone https://github.com/lavafroth/dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake dotfiles#rahu

Android (Nix-on-droid)

I use Nix-on-droid to have Termux with a declarative config. Install Nix-on-droid from F-Droid and enable flakes when prompted. Clone this repo and rebuild the environment.

git clone https://github.com/lavafroth/dotfiles
nix-on-droid switch --flake dotfiles

Troubleshooting

command-not-found unable to connect to database

The programs.sqlite is only generated for the nixos- prefixed channels. Ensure you use the unstable channel using these commands as root:

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos
nix-channel --update
