Mobile NixOS
An overlay for building stuff.
This is a work-in-progress.
WIP notes
nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A all
# Maybe `nix copy ./result --to ssh://another-host`
adb wait-for-device && adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot result # or full path
# getting adb and fastboot working is left as an exercise to the reader.
Alternatively, helpers under bin
can be used. They mostly pave over
the nix CLI to provide one-liners and one-parameter helpers.
# Builds -A all for device_name $1
bin/build asus-z00t
Booting qemu
bin/build qemu-x86_64 -I nixpkgs=an/unstable/(nixos-or-nixpkgs)/checkout/nixpkgs/
bin/boot-qemu
This currently does not build using 18.03 and may never (18.09 may release before!)
local.nix
This file can be used to override (possibly with lib.mkForce
) options on a global
scale for your local builds.
If the file does not exist, it will not fail.
A sample local.nix
:
{ lib, ... }:
{
mobile.boot.stage-1.splash.enable = false;
}
This will disable splash screens.
This will be most useful to configure local sensitive stuff like password (hashes) or ssh keys.
Goals
The goal is to get a nix-built operating system, preferably NixOS running on mobile devices, e.g. Android phones.
Prior work
This project heavily borrows and relies on the hard work from the PostmarketOS project.
Notes
This is an unofficial and unsanctioned project.
