<h1><a class="header" href="#introduction" id="introduction">Introduction</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Nixflk is a template which grants a simple way to use, deploy and manage
|
|
<a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable">NixOS</a> systems for personal and productive use. It does this by
|
|
providing a sane repository structure, integrating several popular projects
|
|
like <a href="https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager">home-manager</a>, setting clear guidelines, offering useful
|
|
conveniences, and eliminating boilerplate so you can focus on deploying your
|
|
systems.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#community-profiles" id="community-profiles">Community Profiles</a></h2>
|
|
<p>There are two branches from which to choose: core and community. The commuity
|
|
branch builds on core and includes several ready-made profiles for
|
|
discretionary employment.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="header" href="#-advisory" id="-advisory">⚠ Advisory</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Nixflk leverages the <a href="https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes">flakes</a> feature available via an <em>experimental</em>
|
|
branch of <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable">nix</a>. Until nix 3.0 is released, this project should be
|
|
considered unstable.</p>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#license" id="license">License</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Nixflk is licensed under the <a href="https://mit-license.org">MIT License</a>.</p>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#quick-start" id="quick-start">Quick Start</a></h1>
|
|
<p>The only dependency is nix, so make sure you have it <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#sect-multi-user-installation">installed</a>.</p>

<h2><a class="header" href="#get-the-template" id="get-the-template">Get the Template</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Here is a snippet that will work as long as <code>nix-shell</code> is in your path:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">nix-shell https://github.com/nrdxp/nixflk/archive/core.tar.gz -A shell \
|
|
--run "flk get core"
|
|
|
|
cd flk
|
|
|
|
nix-shell
|
|
|
|
git init
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m init
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>You can change <code>core</code> to <code>community</code> in the call to <code>flk get</code></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>This will place you in a new folder named <code>flk</code> in the current directory with
|
|
git set up, and a nix-shell that provides all the dependencies, including the
|
|
required nix version.</p>
|
|

<h1><a class="header" href="#iso" id="iso">ISO</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Making and writing an installable iso for <code>hosts/NixOS.nix</code> is as simple as:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">flk iso NixOS
|
|
|
|
dd bs=4M if=result/iso/*.iso of=/dev/$your_installation_device \
|
|
status=progress oflag=sync
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This works for any file matching <code>hosts/*.nix</code> excluding <code>default.nix</code>.</p>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#from-nixos" id="from-nixos">From NixOS</a></h1>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#generate-configuration" id="generate-configuration">Generate Configuration</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Assuming your happy with your existing partition layout, you can generate a
|
|
basic NixOS configuration for your system using:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>flk up
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This will make a new file <code>hosts/up-$(hostname).nix</code>, which you can edit to
|
|
your liking.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>While the <code>up</code> sub-command is provided as a convenience to quickly set up and
|
|
install a "fresh" NixOS system on current hardware, committing these files is
|
|
discouraged.</p>
|
|
<p>They are placed in the git staging area automatically because they would be
|
|
invisible to the flake otherwise, but it is best to move what you need from
|
|
them directly into a host module of your own making, and commit that instead.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>Make sure your <code>i18n.defaultLocale</code> and <code>time.timeZone</code> are set properly for
|
|
your region. Keep in mind that <code>networking.hostName</code> with be automatically
|
|
set to the filename of your hosts file, so <code>hosts/my-host.nix</code> will have the
|
|
hostname <code>my-host</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Now might be a good time to read the docs on <a href="start/../layout/suites.html">suites</a> and
|
|
<a href="start/../layout/profiles.html">profiles</a> and add or create any that you need.</p>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#installation" id="installation">Installation</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Once your ready to deploy <code>hosts/my-host.nix</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>flk my-host switch
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Instead of <code>switch</code>, you can pass <code>build</code>, <code>test</code>, <code>boot</code>, etc just as with
|
|
<code>nixos-rebuild</code>.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>This calls <code>nixos-rebuild</code> with sudo to build and install your configuration.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>It is convenient to have the template living at <code>/etc/nixos</code> so you can
|
|
simply <code>sudo nixos-rebuild switch</code> from anywhere on the system, but it is
|
|
not required.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#layout" id="layout">Layout</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This section describes the layout of nixflk and the purpose of each
|
|
subdirectory.</p>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#hosts" id="hosts">Hosts</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Nix flakes contain an output called <code>nixosConfigurations</code> declaring an
|
|
attribute set of valid NixOS systems. To simplify the management and creation
|
|
of these hosts, nixflk automatically imports every <code>*.nix</code> file inside this
|
|
directory to the mentioned attribute set, applying the projects defaults to
|
|
each. The only hard requirement is that the file contain a valid NixOS module.</p>
|
|
<p>As an example, a file <code>hosts/system.nix</code> will be available via the flake
|
|
output <code>nixosConfigurations.system</code>. You can have as many hosts as you want
|
|
and all of them will be automatically imported based on their name.</p>
|
|
<p>For each host, the configuration automatically sets the <code>networking.hostName</code>
|
|
attribute to the name of the file minus the <code>.nix</code> extension. This is for
|
|
convenience, since <code>nixos-rebuild</code> automatically searches for a configuration
|
|
matching the current systems hostname if one is not specified explicitly.</p>
|
|
<p>It is recommended that the host modules only contain configuration information
|
|
specific to a particular piece of hardware. Anything reusable across machines
|
|
is best saved for <a href="layout/./profiles.html">profile modules</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>This is a good place to import sets of profiles, called <a href="layout/./suites.html">suites</a>,
|
|
that you intend to use on your machine.</p>
|
|
<p>Additionally, this is the perfect place to import anything you might need from
|
|
the <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware">nixos-hardware</a> repository.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#example" id="example">Example</a></h2>
|
|
<p><code>hosts/librem.nix</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-nix">{ suites, hardware, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
imports = suites.laptop ++ [ hardware.purism-librem-13v3 ];
|
|
|
|
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
|
|
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
|
|
|
|
fileSystems."/" = { device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos"; };
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h1><a class="header" href="#profiles" id="profiles">Profiles</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Profiles are simply NixOS modules which contain generic expressions suitable
|
|
for any host. A good example is the configuration for a text editor, or
|
|
window manager. If you need some concrete examples, just checkout the
|
|
community <a href="https://github.com/nrdxp/nixflk/tree/community/profiles">branch</a>.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#constaints" id="constaints">Constaints</a></h2>
|
|
<p>For the sake of consistency, there are a few minor constraints. First of all, a
|
|
profile should always be defined in a <code>default.nix</code>, and it should always be a
|
|
a function taking a single attribute set as an argument, and returning a NixOS
|
|
module which does not define any new module options. If you need to make new
|
|
module option declarations, just use <a href="layout/./modules">modules</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>These restrictions help simplify the import logic used to pass profles to
|
|
<a href="layout/./suites">suites</a>.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="header" href="#example-1" id="example-1">Example</a></h3>
|
|
<p>✔<code>profiles/develop/default.nix</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-nix"># good profile definition
|
|
{ ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
programs.zsh.enable = true;
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>❌<code>profiles/develop.nix</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code># bad profile definition
|
|
{
|
|
options = {};
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#subprofiles" id="subprofiles">Subprofiles</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Profiles can also define subprofiles. They follow the same constraints outlined
|
|
above. A good top level profile should be a high level concern, such a your
|
|
personal development environment, and the subprofiles should be more concrete
|
|
program configurations such as your text editor, and shell configs. This way,
|
|
you can either pull in the whole development profile, or pick and choose
|
|
individual programs.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#conclusion" id="conclusion">Conclusion</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Profiles are the most important concept in nixflk. They allow us to keep our
|
|
nix expressions self contained and modular. This way we can maximize reuse
|
|
while minimizing boilerplate. Always strive to keep your profiles as generic
|
|
and modular as possible. Anything machine specific belongs in your
|
|
<a href="layout/./hosts">host</a> files.</p>
