+
+This directory contains the specific host configuration for each machine that uses this nix setup. Description and hardware of each machine will be listed as a comment block at the start of each `.nix` file.
+
+# So you want to add a machine?
+

+
+## Setup
+
+`cp .env_sample .env`
+

+3. Setup the boot drive
+4. Configure the LUKS partition
+5. Setup the LVM inside the LUKS Partition
+6. Setup Swap inside the LVM.
+7. Setup a ZFS pool & create ZFS mount points
+8. Generate then install the NixOS configuration.
