Quick start

  1. Acquire NixOS 23.05 or newer:

    # Download nixos-unstable
    wget -O nixos.iso https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-unstable/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso
    
    # Write it to a flash drive
    cp nixos.iso /dev/sdX
  2. Boot into the installer.

  3. Switch to root user: sudo su -

  4. Do your partitions and mount your root to /mnt (for example).

  5. Install these dotfiles:

    nix-shell -p git nixFlakes
    
    # Set HOST to the desired hostname of this system
    HOST=...
    # Set USER to your desired username (defaults to leniviy)
    USER=...
    
    git clone https://github.com/lenivaya/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
    cd /etc/dotfiles
    
    # Create a host config in `hosts/` and add it to the repo:
    mkdir -p hosts/$HOST
    nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --dir /etc/dotfiles/hosts/$HOST
    rm -f hosts/$HOST/configuration.nix
    cp hosts/t440p/default.nix hosts/$HOST/default.nix
    vim hosts/$HOST/default.nix  # configure this for your system; don't use it verbatim!
    git add hosts/$HOST
    
    # Install nixOS
    USER=$USER nixos-install --root /mnt --impure --flake .#$HOST
    
    # If you get 'unrecognized option: --impure', replace '--impure' with
    # `--option pure-eval no`.
    
    
    # Then move the dotfiles to the mounted drive!
    mv /etc/dotfiles /mnt/etc/dotfiles

⚠️ Don't forget to change your root and $USER passwords! They are set to nixos by default.
