A ready-to-run NixOS configuration with opinionated defaults.
The goal of this config is to make it as easy as possible to build a NixOS system for an out-of-the-box experience similar to user-friendly distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint. Nearly all configuration is done by editing `host/configuration.nix`. Where possible, we provided simple boolean (true/false) flags for enabling things like GPU drivers and desktop environments. These options are made available under the `aux.system` namespace. You can, of course, extend this template however you'd like.
The goal of this config is to make it as easy as possible to build a NixOS system for an out-of-the-box experience similar to user-friendly distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint. Options are available under the `aux.system` top-level namespace. Where possible, we provided simple boolean (true/false) flags for enabling things like GPU drivers and desktop environments. You can, of course, extend this template however you'd like.
## Getting Started
1. [Install a fresh copy of NixOS and boot into your new system](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#ch-installation).
2. Open a terminal and create a new copy of this template by running `nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes flake new -t github:auxolotl/templates#system nixos-config`.
3. Change into the new folder using `cd nixos-config`.
4. Run `nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config` to generate your system's `hardware-configuration.nix` file. Copy this file into the `host` folder, overwriting the existing `hardware-configuration.nix` file.
5. Edit `flake.nix` and set the following variables:
1. Install a fresh copy of NixOS and boot into your new system.
2. Download, copy, or clone this repository onto your new system.
3. Run `nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config` to generate your system's `hardware-configuration.nix` file. Copy this file into the `host` folder, overwriting the existing `hardware-configuration.nix` file.
4. Edit `flake.nix` and set the following variables:
1. Change `hostName` to the hostname you want to give this system.
2. If your system is running on an architecture other than 64-bit Linux, change `platform` to the architecture that you're using. Details on the various options are documented in `flake.nix`.
6. Edit the `host/configuration.nix` file to suit your needs. This file documents all of the different options available. In most cases, you can enable an option by changing `false` to `true`.
1. Change the `username` variable. If you installed NixOS using the standard install medium, you can change this to match the username you chose during installation. Otherwise, it will create a new user account.
2. If you're creating a new user account, don't forget to set its password by running `sudo passwd <username>`.
7. Run `sudo nixos-rebuild boot --flake .#<your hostname>` and restart.
8. Enjoy your new NixOS system!

### Secure Boot support
This configuration supports [Secure Boot](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot) systems, but with some additional setup required. Secure Boot is a UEFI standard meant to prevent tampering with the pre-boot process, e.g. by a malicious third-party replacing your kernel image with a compromised image. In NixOS, Secure Boot support is provided by the [Lanzaboote](https://github.com/nix-community/lanzaboote) project.
This configuration supports [Secure Boot](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot) systems, but with some additional setup required. Secure Boot is a UEFI standard meant to prevent the pre-boot process by requiring boot images to be signed by a trusted authority. The goal is to prevent tampering, e.g. by a malicious third-party replacing your kernel image with a compromised image. In NixOS, Secure Boot support is provided by the [Lanzaboote](https://github.com/nix-community/lanzaboote) project.
To enable Secure Boot support:
1. Install NixOS using the default `systemd-boot` bootloader, and with Secure Boot disabled via UEFI. To confirm this, run `bootctl status` on a fresh NixOS installation and look for output similar to the following:
