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](https://postmarketos.org/).
