My NixOS configuration

DEPRECATED: See https://github.com/srid/nixos-config which uses flakes and is simple.

Setup

1. First, copy the 'srid' user config to device, and activate that. We need to do this before cloning the repo under srid's home directory.

2. Then, ssh as srid@... and:

sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/archive/master.tar.gz nixos-hardware
sudo nix-channel --update

ssh-keygen  # then, add to Github

nix-shell -p git -p vim
...
git clone git@github.com:srid/nix-config.git $HOME/nix-config
cd $HOME/nix-config 

# First, review ./hardware/???.nix
sudo mv /etc/nixos/hardware /tmp/
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/hardware/???.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
make
