nix & nixOS Configuration / Linux Config

The spiciest config on the market 😳🥵💦

My reproducible nix Configuration & other configuration files.
More Documentation (for myself) about nixOS in my TechNotes Repo.

It has my personal configuration for my Lenovo Legion laptop(hyrulecastle), my MS Surface Pro 7(kakariko) and my Oracle aarch64 server(skyloft).

Installing on a new computer

• You might need to create the home manager folder manually mkdir ~/.local/state/nix/profiles

• Yo'll have to find the syncthing ID by going to http://127.0.0.1:8384, getting the ID, and adding it in the syncthing config

• You'll have to add the new machine public key to the secrets for agenix with cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub and add it in the secrets/secrets.nix and rekey the keys cd ~/.setup/secrets and agenix --rekey.

• Right click on wastebin and configure to delete trash after 7 days, still don't know how to declare this.

• nix-on-droid: install my flake in app by adding the normal packages and running nix-shell -p git --run "nix-on-droid --flake github:Yeshey/nixOS-Config#nix-on-droid switch"
  Then send the ssh keys through adb, connect adb and on your nixOS PC send the keys with:

    nix-shell -p android-tools --run "sudo adb root; sudo adb push /home/yeshey/.ssh/my_identity /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/.ssh/my_identity"
  
    nix-shell -p android-tools --run "sudo adb root; sudo adb push /home/yeshey/.ssh/my_identity.pub /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/.ssh/my_identity.pub"
  
    nix-shell -p android-tools --run "sudo adb root; sudo adb push /home/yeshey/.ssh/config /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/.ssh/config"

Credits

• Initially introduced to nix and nixOS by Kylix 👀
• First iteration inspiered by Matthias Benaets' configuration and his video;
• Derived from LongerHV's nixos-configuration;
• Based on Misterio77's nix-starter-configs;
• Inspiered by pinage404 dotfiles

Highlights:

• Structure

  • Separation of home manager and nixOS system configuration through a myHome and mySystem modules so it could also be deployed on a home-manager only system the same way LongerHV's nixos-configuration is set up;

  • Unstable packages available at pkgs.unstable.<package>, NUR packages available at pkgs.nur.<package> using overlays. Check Misterio77's standard nix-starter-configs for getting started with this structure.

• Auto Upgrades On Shutdown - Setting auto upgrades on my desktop PC only on shutdown once every week: autoUpgradesOnShutdown.nix;

• Syncthing - Declaratively set syncthing, including ignore patterns with userActivationScripts (TODO: set syncthing as a home manager service): syncthing.nix;

• LUKS on LVM with LVM cache - cache on an SSD for a partition on a microSD on kakariko: boot.nix, my guide on doing this in my TechNotes;

• pci-passthrough - for passing my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile to a virt-manager VM and using my intel processor for the host: pci-passthrough.nix, but better yet:

• VGPU - Unlocked VGPU functionality on my consumer nvidia card: vgpu.nix. Using my module, more details there: nixos-nvidia-vgpu;

• i2p firefox profile - Home manager auto creates a firefox profile able to access the hidden i2p net when services.i2p.enable is enabled on the host, and makes a .desktop file for easy access, i2pFirefoxProfile option: firefox.nix;

• Safe-rm - I nuked my PC once by running sudo rm -r /* isntead of sudo -r rm ./*, so i decided to change all my rm calls to safe-rm calls through changing the binary and adding aliases, both in myHome: safe-rm.nix; and in mySystem: safe-rm.nix;

• OneDriver - home-manager module for onedriver that auto clears cache every 3 days, but Microsoft(🫠) changed the user storage limits, so now we only have 100GB per user instead of 1TB (for my uni account), so it's not as worth anymore 🥲, they were just reeling companies in before pulling the rug out, of course: onedriver.nix. Also has a agenix module that adds the json with the credentials to the right place, and takes into account the auto cleanups: onedriver.nix;

• Substituters - Uses a bunch of substituters for extra caches to hopefully make rebuilds faster: default.nix. Also in my module to activate when home manager is used standalone (untested): non-nixos.nix;

• Agenix - Using agenix both at system (mySystem - default.nix): and at user (myHome - default.nix) levels, they grab secrets from /secrets.

• VSCodium - Visual Studio Codium, the open source version of VSC, configuration settings propagated to appropriate locations for VScodium, VSCode and openvscode-server, has a bunch of extensions and configuration for latex nix language server, settings for special characters to work with starship theme in terminal, java, etc: vscodium/default.nix

• piper-tts as Text to Speach - A single english voice, instead of the robotic default voice: piperTextToSpeech.nix
