Notes

A few notes about my configuration in case I get lost.

NEW!

Only works on Darwin atm: Run this install script:

bash -c 'curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspauldingcode/.dotfiles/main/install.sh && sudo chmod +x install.sh && bash install.sh'

SSH Keys

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 #(then add .ssh/id_ed25519.pub key to github). Done.

Git Clone

Now, you'll need to run a quick series of commands.

Clone the .dotfiles repo:

git clone [email protected]:aspauldingcode/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles 
# Be sure to enter ssh dotfiles-keys passphrase! 

INSTALLING DOTFILES

We can install our configurations, based on the hostname of the computer. NOTE: if adding a new computer, it's required to modify the "flake.nix" in order to support the new device, including the architecture and device hostname, as well as the desired users. In addition, you will need to add your device to a folder under "system/hostname/," which will contain your system "configuration.nix," and "hardware-configuration.nix."

Needed for first-time install(?)

FIRST INSTALL based on Hostname

# NIXY(aarch64-darwin)
#NEEDED for FIRST INSTALL (LIKELY TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE)
darwin-rebuild switch -I ~/.dotfiles/system/NIXY/darwin-configuration.nix
home-manager build --flake .#alex@NIXY

Rebuild Existing

it is now possible to rebuild using ONLY the following command: rebuild

REBUILD EXISITNG based on Hostname:

# NIXSTATION64(x86_64-linux)
cd ~/.dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#NIXSTATION64

# NIXEDUP(aarch64-linux)
cd ~/.dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#NIXEDUP

# NIXY(aarch64-darwin)
cd ~/.dotfiles
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#NIXY
