Here is the script you need to run to get this working:
[!IMPORTANT] You will need to have an SSH key to authorize GitHub with, and have access to the Ghostty GitHub repository as I use Ghostty and Ghostty is in private beta at the moment.
sudo nix-shell --packages git nu nix-output-monitor --command "
git clone https://github.com/orhnk/dotnix ~/nix
cd ~/nix
nu rebuild.nu <host>
"host is a host selected from the hosts in the hosts directory.
Lets say you have changed the configuration and want to apply the changes to your system. You would have to run the rebuild script:
./rebuild.nuThis runs the script interactively.
You can also check how the script is used:
./rebuild.nu --helpThis outputs:
Usage:
> rebuild.nu (host) ...(arguments)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Parameters:
host <string>: The host to build. (optional, default: '')
...arguments <any>: The arguments to pass to `nix system apply`.
Note
Check out CONFIGURATION_STEPS.md for non-declarative steps.
Feeling unproductive and ricing your NixOS all day? I was one. Then I've found out that using a somewhat ugly was helping me. So you can use the "Productive" theme under the flake instead of the one that's aesthetic.
Monochrome display is probably one of the most productive thing ever. Use your GPU's official settings (nvidia-settings for my setup). Or you can adjust your colors using third party apps like xcalib, xgamma, redshift etc. (if you can't achieve monochrome, use green-only or similar settings using your monitor's local hardware settings)
nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 3d # delete older than 3 days
nix-store --gc
nix-store --gc --print-roots | grep ~ # If this has so many outputs, you need to delete older profiles manually and recollect garbage. (really helpful if your system is old)
nix-store --verify --repair
nix store optimiseyou could also use nix-tree to judge which package is needed or not.
I also suggest using the package dua. call dua interactive on / and
navigate through your volumed directories.
If there are any collision errors on your setup. You probably have both home-manager and nix's default packages enabled. So choose one and disable the other.
Always backup your data. You should probably use git here. Anyways as I did
such a dumb thing and moved a week older version of my dotfiles, thanks to
@mr_headroom on discord, I was able to recover my latest rebuild. Note that you
should made the rebuild-switch action to retrieve the latest rebuild. If not,
I'm not sure that you can recover your config. Here is how I did it:
Everything that has to do with your configuration is store in the nix store. So
your configuration is copied up there when a change is made and rebuilt on your
configuration. First, I searched the dir for config generations using
fd /nix/store/*-source/. This will puke every generation copied to nix store.
Note
Output of df /nix/store/*-source/ will be huge. It includes every generation
you built. No human can judge that much of output. So you should do a prior
filtering like below.
Nix (AFAIK) doesn't have a way to tell which generation is the latest. So you
should judge it by the filetree present in the generation. I have a file that I
have lately added to my configuration: modules/udisks.nix so I searched for
configurations that have that file. This lead to only several files:
