Rotteegher's NixOS Config

Forked from iynaix/dotfiles.

This config is intended to be used with NixOS. There is experimental support for running the dotfiles on legacy operating systems.

Features

• Multiple NixOS configurations, including desktop, laptops and VM
• Persistence via impermanence (both / and /home)
• Automatic ZFS snapshots with rotation
• Flexible NixOS / Home Manager config via feature flags
• sops-nix for managing secrets [WIP]
• Hyprland with waybar setup, with screen capture
• Dynamic colorschemes using wallust (pywal, but maintained)

How to Install

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso or from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following install script partitions the disk, sets up the necessary datasets and installs NixOS.

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rotteegher/rotfiles/master/install.sh)

Reboot your system.

Creating Persist Snapshot to Restore

Filesystem snapshot

sudo zfs snapshot zroot/persist@persist-snapshot

File snapshot

sudo zfs send zroot/persist@persist-snapshot > SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH

Restoring from Persist Snapshot

Use recover.sh script or...

Recover from file snapshot manually:

# the rename is needed for encrypted datasets, as -F doesn't work
sudo zfs receive -o mountpoint=legacy zroot/persist-new < SNAPSHOT_FILE_PATH
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist zroot/persist-old
sudo zfs rename zroot/persist-new zroot/persist

Recover from filesystem snapshot manually:

sudo zfs rename zroot/persist zroot/persist-old
sudo zfs rename zroot/existing_filesystem_snapshotname zroot/persist

Create Password Files (When Not Using Persist Snapshot)

This is not needed if restoring from persist snapshot.

mkdir -p /persist/etc/shadow
mkpasswd -m sha-512 'USER_PASSWORD' | sudo tee -a /persist/etc/shadow/root
mkpasswd -m sha-512 'USER_PASSWORD' | sudo tee -a /persist/etc/shadow/iynaix
mkpasswd -m sha-512 'USER_PASSWORD' | sudo tee -a /persist/etc/shadow/rot
mkpasswd -m sha-512 'USER_PASSWORD' | sudo tee -a /persist/etc/shadow/anyotheruser

System Rescue for Bootloader.

Run the following commands from a terminal on a NixOS live iso / from a tty on the minimal iso.

The following script optionally reformats the boot partition and / or /nix dataset, then reinstalls NixOS.

sh <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rotteegher/rotfiles/master/recover.sh)
