Note

Welcome! This repository contains my Linux/Darwin configurations.

• The original ricing and setup details are in the OG branch.
• The OG branch also includes documentation for impermanence, disko, and other advanced configurations such as secure boot.
• Over time, as I explored Nix, I aimed to simplify and clean up the setup.
• My current environment is fully CLI-based, accessed via Tailscale.

My NixOS/Nix Config built using flakes. I've used Flake-Parts to modularize the config. Hyprland + Waybar Setup Yabai/Aerospace on Darwin

This repository contains my Linux rice setup, along with my shell configuration, which I find intuitive and efficient to work with. 🎨✨

Hosts	Description
mach	My personal laptop (Hyprland, Waybar, and much more. Most of the setup is set up for this.)
vm	Virtual Machine for testing (The tinker box. It is minimal and works for anything [CLI ONLY].)
iso	Custom ISO for installation (Includes my editor, git, disko, NetworkManager, pre-configured setup.)
jp-mbp	MacBook Pro M4

# Instructions to build the ISO (output will reside in result/iso)
nix build .#iso

Instructions to Install

# (This will partition the disk and mount it)
# [For encryption use enc-disko, that will prompt for password during partitioning]
# (use nixos-generate-config to generate the hardware-configuration)

sudo disko --mode destroy,format,mount ./disko/<type>.nix

sudo nixos-install --no-root-passwd --root /mnt --flake github:niksingh710/ndots#<hostname>

Note

NixOS is my primary OS right now, and it is an impermanent setup. To learn more, search for erase-your-darlings nix on the internet. (I could have added more resources, but it is a rabbit hole.)

Check out Utils

Repository for my utility scripts and tools. They run and anyone can tailor them with overrides.

📂 Instructions for the Templates

nix flake init -t github:niksingh710/ndots#<template>

📀 Instructions for Default ISO

# The disko directory contains both a non-encrypted partitioning scheme (disko)
# and an encrypted partitioning scheme (enc-disko).

sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko disko.nix

sudo nixos-install --root /mnt --flake github:niksingh710/ndots#<hostname>

Label: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-primary-root or /dev/mapper/cryptroot (if rooted)
  subvol:
    root       -> /
    nix        -> /nix
    persistent -> /persistent
    old_root   -> (not mounted [contains backup])

Label: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-primary-ESP
  vfat -> /boot

To search through backup mount Label of root

I’ve used Stylix for theming.

Note: My shell module is written as an independent Home Manager module, so it can be utilized by anyone.

I will be updating this repository in the near future. If you can help with documentation or have suggestions regarding structure or configuration, feel free to open an issue or create a PR. Any guidance regarding a more "Nix way" of doing things is also welcome.
