Foreword

This repository contains my personal configuration for my systems, so its really important that you know it's personal and not everything will fit your needs. Therefore most things will not work out of the box without some changes, so be warned!!!!

Warning

Also to note that this configuration will not work if you do not change any of the secrets since they are encrypted.

Tip

You can find some cool blogs and people at the bottom of this file, or click here

Tip

When looking for my custom modules or packages you should direct yourself to isabelroses/beapkgs. If you are specifically looking for remote modules (sometimes not clearly labelled), it is worth looking through the beapkgs docs.

Usage Notes

Using the templates

To use the templates there are two commands you can run, they are:

  • nix flake init -t github:isabelroses/dotfiles#<template> to initialize a new project with the template
  • nix flake new -t github:isabelroses/dotfiles#<template> <out dir> to create a new project in the specified directory

For the full list of templates you can look in the templates directory or run nix flake show github:isabelroses/dotfiles.

Installation Notes

NixOS

You might want to use the lilith iso configuration, provided in this repository

  • To build it you can run nix build .#images.lilith.
  • Or you can download it from the release page.

If you opted to use the lilith iso image, you can use the iznix-install script to install it on your system. Otherwise, you can follow the steps below.

  1. Install NixOS, you might need to follow the manual
  2. Clone this repository to ~/.config/flake
  3. Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/flake#<host>
Dual boot

If you would like to set up duel boot with Windows, you should consider enabling secure boot. To do so you should follow the lanzaboote guide.

  1. Locate the Windows EFI partition
lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT
  1. Mount the Windows EFI partition
sudo mkdir /mnt/winboot
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/winboot
  1. Copy the Windows EFI files to the NixOS EFI partition
sudo rsync -av /mnt/winboot/EFI/Microsoft/ /boot/EFI/Microsoft/
  1. Finally, clean up
sudo umount /mnt/winboot
sudo rmdir /mnt/winboot
macOS
  1. Install Lix the package manager
curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
  1. Then enter a nix development shell in order to use git and other required tools
nix develop
  1. Now we need to switch to the configuration, remember to replace <host> with the system you are configuring
just provision <host>

Small bits

  • Anything starting with garden is likely a part of my internal module. So keep that in mind when reading the code.

Additional notes

Resources

A collection of resources from people who just make good stuff.

Projects / Configurations

These are some configuration or projects that I have taken inspiration from or find to be of a high quality that people should also consider reading.
