Usage

Installation

prerequisites: nix

The repo contains a helper justfile to assist with common NixOS management tasks. just, unbuffer (provided by expect package) and nom commands are required to use it. They can be installed with Nix in case they are missing:

nix-shell -p just expect nix-output-monitor

To test a new NixOS build, run:

just nixos-rebuild <host>

This will download, build and install system packages and configurations.

To make the build permanent, add mode=switch:

just mode=switch nixos-rebuild <host>

This will add a new boot record to the bootloader.

Files in $HOME are defined via Home Manager, which can be invoked separately:

just home <host> switch
