Nix-based OS configs

Hosts

Available hosts

• frametop(NixOS): My main workstation, a Framework Laptop 13.

Hosts are managed individually

Each host has its own folder under ./hosts.

Inputs are managed separately in each host, using npins. This ensures hosts can be worked-on/upgraded individually without breaking other hosts.

All host directories have a set of dedicated input-management actions:

1. cd into a host directory (under ./hosts)
2. Run just to print available host actions

Repo actions

Make sure just is available in $PATH. (note: use alias j=just for shorter/quicker/faster everything 😉)

Run just to print available repo actions

Build / switch OS config for given host

To build the OS config for host frametop: just dobuild frametop

To (build if neeeded, and) switch to the OS config for host frametop: sudo just doswitch frametop

Build / switch OS config for current host

Similar to previous section, but using re prefix instead of do and omitting the host name.

For example:

just rebuild # reb<TAB>
sudo just reswitch # res<TAB>

The name of the current host is determined by reading the first line of file ./current-host-name (which is git-ignored). Check ./current-host-name.example for an example.
