## Installing
|
|
This configuration uses impermanence with btrfs snapshots so you'll have to partition
|
|
your system in a certain way.
|
|
|
|
First you'll need this partition layout, assuming you're installing on `nvme0n1`.
|
|
```
|
|
DEVICE FILESYSTEM PURPOSE
|
|
/dev/nvme0n1
|
|
├─/dev/nvme0n1p1 vfat EFI partition
|
|
└─/dev/nvme0n1p2 btrfs Partition to house all the subvolumes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inside of the btrfs root volume we're going to need 2 subvolumes.
|
|
```
|
|
SUBVOLUME MOUNT PURPOSE
|
|
root / Impermanent data
|
|
nix /nix Permanent data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll also need to create a read-only snapshot of the `root` subvolume
|
|
and call it `root-blank`.
|
|
|
|
After you've mounted all the subvolumes and EFI partition (`/boot`) in `/mnt`
|
|
clone this repository in to `/mnt/nix/config`. Adjust all the block ids of the partitions
|
|
in `hardware-configuration.nix` and create a hashed password using `mkpasswd` and store it
|
|
in the `secrets` directory as `pass`.
|
|
|
|
Finally, in the config directory run `nixos-install --flake '.#'`, reboot and you're done.
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
This configuration sets up [nh](https://github.com/viperML/nh) for a prettier and more convenient
|
|
way of keeping the system up to date. To update you can simply run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix flake update /nix/config
|
|
nh os switch
|
|
```
