An attempt to use the NixOS ecosystem to deploy and provision my home machines.

Activate the nix development environment with

nix develop --impure

Deploy to the machines using task

task viewscreen

the task is a simple wrapper to

deploy .#viewscreen

The target node (viewscreen in this case) should already have NixOS installed.

to run a vm, use:

task viewscreen-vm

At the first launch, login eith the user root and password "test", then run reboot. This will load the kodi user services and boot kodi at start.

• Install NixOS

• Edit /etc/nixos/configuration.nix to add:

  nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ git ];

• sudo nixos-rebuild switch

Then you can clone the repo and enter the dev environment with nix develop.

When you're ready, apply the configuration with

sudo nixos-rebuild --flake .#configName switch

where configName is the nixosConfiguration that you want to use on the system.
