My Dot-Files

Layout and Updating

The different hosts are in different folders, each with their own lockfile (so don’t need to update all at once). The flake inputs are not automatically updated by Home Manager. You need to use the standard ‘nix flake update’ command for that.

Note you can use

nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs

to update selectively the UNSTABLE, while leaving the stable the same.

To update based on the above and changes to configuration files (which must be at least tracked by git if not up to date):

# Home-manager environment on mac.
home-manager switch --flake ~/.dotfiles/hosts/mac#felix

# Home-manager environment on cimarron.
home-manager switch --flake ~/.dotfiles/hosts/cimarron#felix

# Nixos overall on cimarron.
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/felix/.dotfiles/hosts/cimarron#cimarron

Setup

Mac / Linux

xcode-select --install  # mac only
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)   --daemon # restart after to get into path.

git clone https://github.com/biggs/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

# Make sure flakes are enabled: add to nix config
mkdir ~/.config/nix
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" > ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

# Install Home-Manager and get packages
nix run home-manager/master -- init --switch ~/.dotfiles/hosts/mac   # or e.g. other host

Install

• vscode
• obsidian; use sync to get settings
• karabiner-elements; turn on macos permissions, settings should be linked already via home-manager
• iterm2; switch to fish and turn on powerline-fonts setting
• spotify

NixOS

git clone https://github.com/biggs/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.dotfiles/hosts/cimarron#cimarron

nix run home-manager/master -- init --switch ~/.dotfiles/hosts/cimarron#felix

# Imperatively install Source Code Pro font (better, nix-management at https://nixos.wiki/wiki/fonts) ?
font=$(nix-build --no-out-link '<nixpkgs>' -A source-code-pro)/share/fonts/opentype/SourceCodePro-Regular.otf
cp $font ~/.local/share/fonts
fc-cache

Emacs

git clone https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install
ln -s $HOME/.nix-profile/Applications/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app   # mac only (after install?)
