NixOS & Home-Manager Configuration

My NixOS and Home-Manager config files. Based upon Misterio77's starter configs.

This repo is often neglected and doesn't necesarrily follow best practices.
I recommend only using this repo for inspiration and instead use this boilerplate

Installation

# Prepare disks, create an EFI System partition and Linux Filesystem partition
fdisk /dev/nvme0n1

# Create our filesystems
mkfs.fat -F32 -n ESP /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.btrfs -L ${hostname} /dev/nvme0n1p2
    
# Create our subvolumes
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/btrfs
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/btrfs/{root,nix,persist,swap}
umount /mnt/btrfs

# Prepare for installation
mount -o compress=zstd,subvol={root,nix,persist,swap} /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/{nix,persist,swap}
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

# Clone the configuration files and enter repo
git clone https://github.com/sajenim/dotfiles.nix.git && cd dotfiles.nix

FAQ

• What is nix?
  Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration.
• Nix benefits
  Nix is reproducible, declarative and reliable.
• Why flakes?
  Flakes allow you to specify your code's dependencies (e.g. remote Git repositories) in a declarative way, simply by listing them inside a flake.nix file.
