nil/hosts

What's this?

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?

This will get flushed out as a move more of my systems over to NixOS.

Setup

cp .env_sample .env

Update the variables. run make echo to verify all values are set correctly.

If all looks good run make install. This will

1. Wipe the specified drive.
2. Partition the drive using gdisk
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.

Note: Step 8 is now outdated and should be updated to work with this configuration format and flakes.

This should leave you with a system formatted like the below
