❄️ My NixOS system ❄️

Installation

Note

You should review the configuration variables in `flake.nix` before installing.
Also, check the imports at the top of `hosts/Default/configuration.nix`

You can use the install.sh script while booted into a system or in the live installer.
If you prefer the latter, you can obtain an ISO from here.
The minimal ISO is recommended, but you can use any.

git clone https://github.com/authxt/NixOS.git ~/NixOS

cd ~/NixOS

./install.sh

Rebuilding

There are 4 ways to rebuild.

1. Press Super + U.
2. Run rebuild in the terminal
3. Execute the install.sh script again.
4. Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/NixOS#Default if you installed from the live iso then use /etc/nixos#Default

How to Use the Development Shells

• To initialise a new project from a template:

nix flake init -t ~/NixOS#NAME

• Alternatively, use the new keyword to create a new directory:

nix flake new -t ~/NixOS#NAME PROJECT_NAME

Replace NAME with any template defined in dev-shells/default.nix.
These commands will generate a flake.nix and flake.lock file in your project directory.
To enter the development shell:

• Use direnv if configured, or navigate to the project directory and run:

nix develop
