# Nix Configuration
|
|
|
|
This repository is home to the nix code that builds my systems.
|
|
|

## TODO
|
|
|
|
- enable disk encryption to enhance data security
|
|
- make fcitx5-rime work in vscode/chrome/telegram on wayland
|
|
- auto-unlock with `ssh-agent` after login
|
|
- [People using ssh-agent, how do you unlock it on login? - reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/lsbo9a/people_using_sshagent_how_do_you_unlock_it_on/)
|
|
- update scripts for i3wm, especially rofi & screenshot
|
|
- fix `xdg-open`: after set `firefox.desktop` as defaultApplication, NixOS returned error `no apps installed that can open "https://baidu.com"`
|
|
- `Xcursor.size` does not take effect in i3
|
|
|
|
## Why Nix?
|
|
|
|
Nix allows for easy-to-manage, collaborative, reproducible deployments. This means that once something is setup and configured once, it works forever. If someone else shares their configuration, anyone can make use of it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Hosts
|
|
|
|
- `msi-rtx3090`: my main PC, with RTX 3090 GPU, with NixOS
|
|
- `harmonica`: my MacBook Pro 2020 13-inch, with macOS, for work
|
|
- `nixos-test`: my test machine, with NixOS
|
|
|
|
## How to Deploy this Flake?
|
|
|
|
> Note: you should NOT deploy this flake directly on your machine, it contains my hardware information and personal information which is not suitable for you. You may use this repo as a reference to build your own configuration.
|
|
|
|
After installing NixOS with `nix-command` & `flake` enabled, follow the steps below to deploy this flake.
|
|
|
|
For NixOS, use the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# deploy my test configuration
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos-test
|
|
|
|
|
|
# deploy my PC's configuration
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#msi-rtx4090
|
|
|
|
# or just deploy with hostname
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
|
|
|
|
# we can also deploy using make, which is defined in Makefile
|
|
make deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For MacOS, use the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# deploy the darwin configuration(harmonicia)
|
|
make darwin
|
|
|
|
# deploy with details
|
|
make darwin-debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Apps from Flatpak
|
|
|
|
We can install apps from flathub, which has a lot of apps that are not supported well in nixpkgs.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Add the Flathub repository
|
|
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
|
|
|
|
# install apps from flathub
|
|
flatpak install netease-cloud-music-gtk
|
|
|
|
# install 3d printer slicer - cura
|
|
flatpak install flathub com.ultimaker.cura
|
|
|
|
# or you can search apps from flathub
|
|
flatpak search <keyword>
|
|
# search on website is also supported: https://flathub.org/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run unmodified binaries on NixOS
|
|
|
|
> the `fhs` command is defined at [./modules/nixos/core-desktop.nix#L145](https://github.com/ryan4yin/nix-config/blob/v0.0.5/modules/nixos/core-desktop.nix#L145)
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Activating FHS drops me in a shell which looks like a "normal" Linux
|
|
$ fhs
|
|
(fhs) $ ls /usr/bin
|
|
(fhs) $ ./bin/code
|
|
```
