# Nil Install Guide
This is the nix configuration for a 2021 Thinkpad T14 AMD g2 machine named `nil`.
The boot media looks like
```
NAME TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p2 part
└─crypt crypt /dev/mapper/root
└─partitions lvm
├─swap swap /dev/partitions/swap
└─lvm_root lvm /dev/partitions/lvm_root
└─rpool zpool
├─rpool/root zfs
├─rpool/root/nixos zfs /
└─rpool/home zfs /home
```
## Install
A makefile is used for ease of use. To set this up on a new machine you will need the following:
```bash
nix-env -iA nixos.gnumake
nix-env -iA nixos.git
```
then checkout this repo, create & modify the `.env` file
```bash
git clone https://git.jpatrick.io/james/nil.git /tmp/install
cd /tmp/install
cp .env_sample .env
```
Once you have set the `PASSPHRASE` & `DISK` vars run
```bash
sudo make nix_install
```
## TODO
- Document setting the `networking.hostId` variable.
- Use [NixOS Hardware](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware) Modules.
- Fix wireless driver issue :: This uses the Realtek 8852AE 802.11AX WWAN.
