# Prerequisites 

In order to use this repo, first fork it. Then create a `nix-secrets` flake
with the following outputs:

```nix
{
  outputs = {...}: {
    # git email and name configuration
    git = {
      email = "git@ed209.dev";
      name = "ed209";
    };
    # username/home director
    username = "nixos";
    name = "ED-209";
    homeDirectory = "/home/nixos";
    ssh-keys = [
      ...
    ];
    timeZone = "Etc/GMT";
  };
}
```

Edit `flake.nix` to point `nix-secrets` to the location of your `nix-secrets`
flake and push it up. You'll also likely want to provide `secrets.nix` for
`agenix`, or you can modify the flake to your liking.

# Installing

## With custom ISO

Build the ISO with:

```
nix build git+https://tangled.org/ed209.dev/nix-config#sachiel#iso
```

Copy this to a USB drive or use it to build a VM.

#### ⚠️ Note
You *must* use EFI with this flake. Make sure your VM is using EFI.

Boot the ISO and simply run:

```bash
sudo disko-install --flake git+https://tangled.org/ed209.dev/nix-config#sachiel --write-efi-boot-entries --disk vda /dev/vda
```

It will prompt you for a disk encryption password. Once complete, reboot. If
you receive a message about no EFI variables, please confirm the ISO was booted
with EFI.

## With standard NixOS installer

It's also possible to install this with the standard NixOS installer.

```bash
sudo nix run 'github:nix-community/disko/latest#disko-install' -- --flake git+https://tangled.org/ed209.dev/nix-config#sachiel --write-efi-boot-entries --disk vda /dev/vda
```

#### ⚠️ Note
Building the latest version of `disko` inside the install `tempfs` environment uses a
lot of RAM. If you get errors do to the disk filling up, you can use the
version of `disko` in `nixpkgs`:

```bash
sudo nix run 'nixpkgs#disko-install' -- --flake git+https://tangled.org/ed209.dev/nix-config#sachiel --write-efi-boot-entries --disk vda /dev/vda
```

# Using Home Manager

This flake also provides a standalone Home Manager entrypoint.

```
home-manager switch --flake .#<username>
```

where `<username>` is whatever you set in your `nix-secrets` flake.
