Nixos

My personal nixos configuration.

Installation

Boot into NixOS installer.

Close the installer.

Open a terminal and run the following:

sudo su
nix-shell -p git
git clone https://github.com/m3l6h/nixos.git
cd nixos
ls /dev/disk/by-id # Identify the disk to install NixOS on
nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko ./disko.nix --arg device '"/dev/disk/by-id/<disk from previous step>"'
cd ..
mkdir /mnt/etc
mv nixos /mnt/etc/
