### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
There are 3 main templates in this repository:
|
|
- `darwin` - The system configuration for the Darwin operating system (macOS)
|
|
- `system` - A complete NixOS system configuration template for the Linux operating system
|
|
- `home-manager` - The configuration for the home-manager
|
|
|
|
#### With Darwin (macOS)
|
|
|
|
1. Run `nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes flake new -t github:auxolotl/templates#darwin NixFiles` in the terminal. 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 -- switch --flake .#hostname` hostname should be substituted 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 NixOS
|
|
|
|
1. Install a base NixOS system
|
|
2. Run `nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes flake new -t github:auxolotl/templates#system NixFiles`
|
|
3. Move into your new system with `cd NixFiles`
|
|
4. Fill in your `hostName` in `flake.nix`
|
|
5. Run `nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > host/hardware-configuration.nix` to generate configuration based on your filesystems and drivers
|
|
6. Edit the `host/configuration.nix` file with your desired system configuration
|
|
7. Run `nixos-rebuild build --flake .#hostName`, replacing hostName with your new hostName
|
|
|
|
Congratulations, you are now using NixOS!
|
|
|
|
#### With Home-manager
|
|
|
|
1. Run `nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes flake new -t github:auxolotl/templates#home-manager NixFiles` to start
|
|
2. Move into your new Nix system with `cd NixFiles`
|
|
3. Fill in your `username` in `flake.nix`
