Nix Flake dotfiles shared across a few hosts. Most development here will go into the dark-firepit
host, however.
Development
Commands here will use dark-firepit
-based paths and names as an example
- To build the system (doesn't apply changes):
nixos-rebuild build --upgrade --impure --flake /etc/dotfiles#dark-firepit
- To build & switch to a new system (applies changes):
doas nixos-rebuild switch --impure --upgrade --flake /etc/dotfiles#dark-firepit
dark-firepit
Things here mostly only apply to the dark-firepit
host.
Adding modules
Generally when adding modules (even those pulled from nixpkgs
) you'd want to:
- Create a new module under
modules/services/
;gitea.nix
andnitter.nix
are pretty okay examples of what to do git add .
or else Nix will act clueless about everything you've just done- Set it to enabled, set port, domain, etc. in
hosts/.../default.nix
or wherever else is more appropriate
- For webapps, follow what's done in
hosts/dark-firepit/webapps/default.nix
; if you're doing something bigger, it may be worth abstracting into a seperate file
- Rebuild/switch to the new system (as described above)
yugoslavia-best.nix
God fucking help us lmao
You're on your own if you try to edit this file. Please be ready to yell at Jill the moment you open it and to continue doing that for the entire time it is open
Editing code
For now, you can simply edit /etc/dotfiles
; in the future it's planned to give every user their own seperate repository sandbox before pulling the changes into the main config at /etc/dotfiles
.
This can be done directly on the server (as long as you have the dotfiles
group) through your favorite modal editor (micro
, nvim
, hx
, nano
, ...) or at https://dev-firepit.oat.zone/ (authorization and further details are pinned in the Discord).
If you encounter permission funnies, don't hesitate to doas
your way into chmod
dding/chown
ing files as necessary; directories should be 775
and files should be 664
, however we've yet to figure out how to consistently enforce this across the directory.
Be sure to commit regularly to prevent tons of densely packed undocumented commits building up after noone bothers to commit anything.
