NixOS Configuration Repository

NOTE: These configs expect this repo to be cloned to /etc/nixos/git/

• Installing a system from the ISO:

nixos-install <Hostname> [<Username>]

• Post install:

nix develop -c /etc/nixos/git/docs/setup.sh

• Sparse Checkout (for low RAM environments):

git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://git.sysctl.io/albert/nix git/
cd git/
git sparse-checkout set --cone docs/ home-manager/ keys/ssh/ lib/ nixos/ flake.lock flake.nix shell.nix
git checkout main

To Do List

• Try lazy.vim - Link
• Look into hosting a binary cache locally - Link
• vscode / emacs
  • Add the nix lsp - Link
• Find a way to remove all default search engines in Firefox (Google, Amazon, etc)
• Figure out what the home-manager account options are for.
• Security hardening
• Edit the hosts file
• cronjobs
  • Change wallpaper at a certain time of day
  • Automatic git pull of this repo
• emacs
  • Add bracket auto-completion
  • Find a way to have magit save login credentials
• btrfs snapshots?
• vscodium and user-config.js file?
• rofi - bitwarden-cli / bitwarden-menu (Link)

Lanzaboote / SecureBoot

• Instructions here - Link

1. Create your keys: sbctl create-keys
2. Verify your machine is ready for SecureBoot: sbctl verify - Everything except *-bzImage.efi are signed
3. Enter Secureboot Setup mode in your EFI Settings on the motherboard (F10)
   • Security -> SecureBoot -> Set to Enabled and "Reset to Setup Mode" and exit
4. Enroll the keys: sbctl enroll-keys --microsoft
   • If you wish, you can select --tpm-eventlog, but checksums will change later (ie, at a kernel rebuild)
5. Reboot and verify you are activated: bootctl status

Manual: GPG Keys

1. Import the user private key: gpg --import gpg/users/albert/privkey.asc
2. Mark it as trusted: gpg --edit-key albert@sysctl.io, then type trust, then 5
3. On each new machine, run sudo nix-shell -p ssh-to-pgp --run "ssh-to-pgp -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -o /etc/nixos/git/keys/hosts/$(hostname).asc"
   • This will output the identifier you add to .sops.yaml
   • Move HOSTNAME.asc to keys/hosts/ and upload to git and rename accordingly.

Secrets

1. Run nix-develop in /etc/nixos/git to import new keys
2. To edit a file: sops secrets/file.yml"
3. When you add a new machine, you must update the secrets files encryption.
   • Run sops updatekeys secrets/file.yaml and commit the change.

Troubleshooting

1. To troubleshoot issues, this command can come in handy:
