Welcome to Aux

This is a template repository for getting started with your brand new FreshwaterOS system.

Getting Started

There are 3 main templates in this repository:

• darwin - The system configuration for the Darwin operating system (macOS)
• system - The system configuration for the Linux operating system
• home-manager - The configuration for the home-manager

With Darwin (macOS)

1. Run nix flake new -t github:auxolotl/templates#darwin NixFiles in the teminal. This will setup the basic configuration for the system, this generate a configuration for you from the files located in the darwin directory.
2. The next step is to go into the NixFiles directory this can be achieved by running cd NixFiles.
3. Now we you need to read over the configuration files and make any changes that you see fit, some of these must include changing your username and hostname.
4. You now must rebuild this configuration we can do this with nix run darwin-rebuild -- switch --flake .#hostname hostname should be subsituted for your systems hostname.
5. After your first run you are now able to use the darwin-rebuild switch --flake . command to rebuild your system.

With Linux

1. Run nix flake new -t github:auxolotyl/templates#system NixFiles
2. Move into your new system with cd NixFiles
3. Fill in your hostName and username in flake.nix
4. Run nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix to generate configuration based on your filesystems and drivers
5. Run sudo nixos-rebuild build --flake .#hostName, replacing hostName with your new hostName

Congratulations, you are now using Aux!
