- This is my personal dotfiles using nix or nixos.
- This flake depends on other package managers such as homebrews.
- Also, the configuration for each tool use Nix as little as possible.
- This is to facilitate the porting of dotfiles even if I stop using Nix in the future.
- Install NixOS following here. Example installation steps are below.
# create a gpt partition table on the disk
parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
# create a root partition
# it starts from 512MB of the disk and ends at the part excluding 64gb from the end of the disk
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart root ext4 512MB -64GB
# create a swap partition
# it occupies the part of 64gb from the end of the disk
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart swap linux-swap -64GB 100%
# create an esp partition
# it occupies the part from 1MB to 512mb of the disk
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 512MB
# set the esp flag on the esp partition
parted /dev/sda -- set 3 esp on
# create an ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1 and label it as 'nixos'
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/sda1
# set up a linux swap area on /dev/sda2 and label it as 'swap'
mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2
# create a fat32 filesystem on /dev/sda3 and label it as 'boot'
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda3
# mount the 'nixos' partition to the /mnt directory
mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
# create a new directory /mnt/boot and mount the 'boot' partition to the /mnt/boot directory with umask set to 077
mkdir -p /mnt/boot && mount -o umask=077 /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot
# enable the swap partition
swapon /dev/sda2
# generate a nixos configuration file for the system
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
# install NixOS on the system
nixos-install
# reboot the system
reboot
# login as root
# create a new user 'yanosea' with a home directory
useradd -m yanosea
# set or change password for user 'yanosea'
passwd yanosea
# add user 'yanosea' sudoers
visudo
# add below
yanosea ALL=(ALL:ALL) SETENV:ALL
# exit from root and login as yanosea
exit- First, update the system. (You have to add your user to sodoers.)
# update the system
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11 nixos && sudo nix-channel --update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch
# you may have to add your user to sudoers again- Enter nix-shell with necessary packages.
# enter nix-shell

ghq get yanosea/yanoNixFiles && cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles- Execute init task.
# execute init task
cargo make nix.init- Reboot NixOS.
# reboot nixos
reboot- Then, you got a new NixOS environment ;)
- Edit your config in yanoNixFiles repository.
# change the directory
cd ghq/github.com/yanosea/yanoNixFiles
# then, edit config files or pkglist- Execute install task.
# execute install task
cargo make nix.install- If there were no issues, commit, push the changes.
- Just execute update task.

wsl --unregister NixOS
# change directory and import the tarball

exit- Terminate WSL and restart it.
