Home manager and NixOS dotfiles

My all in one linux environment and desktop rice !

Installation

You can either follow along (i'll assume you clone this to ~/nix-config), or run this one-liner (you can omit the https if you aren't copy-pasting):

bash <(curl -fsSL https://go.ly/nixos)

NixOS

First make sure NixOS is running the unstable channel.

sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos

Then, link the configuration file to /etc/nixos/ and rebuild.

sudo ln -sf ~/nix-config/nixos-config.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

With that done, its time to install Home Manager !

Home Manager

Add the home manager channel (yeah i didn't use the flake idk) and install it.

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

Now, you can link the entire repo to .config/home-manager, as god intended.

ln -sf ~/nix-config ~/.config/home-manager
home-manager switch

Git signing

This clearly has nothing to do here, but use these commands to import and see the key GPG that git can use to sign the commits.

gpg --import private.gpg
gpg -K --keyid-format=long
