first, authorise SSH keys in GitLab (user profile / deploy keys).
second, install Lix using the one-liner:
$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- installthird, ensure Lix is installed correctly:
$ nix run nixpkgs#hellofourth, check flake.nix: make sure there's a darwinConfigurations section for the current hostname
last, but not least, once you're ready to commit:
$ nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake .after initial setup, we can use a shorter command to rebuild the system:
$ darwin-rebuild switch --flake .Formulae are managed by nix-darwin's homebrew module, mostly through modules/darwin/brew.nix.
homebrew.global.brewfile is enabled, permitting use of brew bundle to preview missing packages against the current state.
List dependencies that haven't been installed:
$ brew bundle check -vList unexpected installed dependencies:
# Needs --force to actually cleanup, see --help
$ brew bundle cleanupfirst, download and install NixOS.
second, authorise SSH keys in GitLab (user profile / deploy keys).
third, move /etc/nixos to our home directory:
$ sudo mv /etc/nixos ~/system && sudo chown -R $USER ~/systemfourth, gently initialise the git repository while preserving nixos-generate-config output:
# this could probably be less convoluted?
$ mv {hardware-configuration.nix,configuration.nix} ..
$ git init && git remote add origin [email protected]:htw/system.git && git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard origin/main
$ mv ../hardware-configuration.nix ./modules/hardware/$(hostname).nixfifth, check flake.nix: make sure there's a nixosConfigurations section for the current hostname (use ../configuration.nix as a reference)
last, but not least, once you're ready to commit:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
