nix-config

Declarative configuration of my machines & dotfiles.

[!WARNING] Still a work-in-progress!

Setup

Prerequisite

git clone https://github.com/otosky/nix-config
cd nix-config

The following requires custom boot media built from manifests under installer/.

To build the install-usb media, run

just build-iso

Init Drives

echo -n "<luks-secret-key>" > /tmp/secret.key
# set up the drive partitions
just disko-init <host>
# mount the drives so that you can perform nix installation
just disko-mount <host>
# import gpg key
just setup
# copy ssh keys from live-media to nixos fs
just init-keys

[!CAUTION] I need to figure out a way to get sops-nix to recognize my gpg key from a yubikey. Right now this blocks a successful bootstrap install.

To get this working at the moment, I use ssh-to-age to convert the new ed25519 key to an age key, update the host key in .sops.yaml, and then re-encrypt the password file at ./hosts/common/secrets.yaml.

This is an admittedly clunky process.

Init Install

just install <host>

Rebuilds

just rebuild <host>
