nix-config for 'intelTower'

My current evolving NixOS Cardano SPO/dev environment with full configuration files, home-manager, neovim, etc.

My intent is to fork and strip this config down to share a collection of rolling, accurate, canonical Cardano dev/SPO/ecosystem configurations in one place.

Cardano Font

I am currently in the process of building cardanofont: a font containing many of the logos in the Cardano ecosystem and incorporating it into my config.

• home: all the user programs, services and dotfiles.
• imgs: screenshots and other images.
• system: the NixOS configuration, settings for different laptops and window managers.

Install

You can have a look at the available flake outputs before getting started. (This won't work because I have my config obfuscated in parts)

$ nix flake show github:harryprayiv/nix-config

├───homeConfigurations: unknown
└───nixosConfigurations
    ├───intelNUC: NixOS configuration
    ├───intelTower: NixOS configuration
    └───plutus_vm: NixOS configuration

As well as all the declared flake inputs.

NixOS

The full home configuration is not yet fully automated but the NixOS configuration can be installed by running the following command.

$ nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:harryprayiv/nix-config#intelTower

Beware that the hardware-configuration.nix file is the result of the hardware scan of the specific machine and might not be suitable for yours.

Home Manager

A fresh install requires the creation of certain directories so this has not been automated yet (see build script file). However, if you omit those steps, the entire HM configuration can also be built as any other flake.

$ nix build github:harryprayiv/nix-config#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage
$ result/activate

Full configuration via script

On a fresh NixOS installation, run the following commands.

$ nix flake clone github:harryprayiv/nix-config --dest /choose/a/path
$ nix run nixpkgs#git-crypt unlock
$ ./build fresh-install # requires sudo

Note that git-crypt unlock requires your GPG Keys to be correctly set up.

The build script is only suitable for a fresh install customized to my personal use but you can build the flakes directly. E.g.

$ nix build .#nixosConfigurations.intelTower.config.system.build.toplevel
$ sudo result/bin/switch-to-configuration switch

Or for Home Manager.

$ nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage
$ result/activate
