nixos

ok hi this is my nixos config. i use it only for my home server (for now).

the config is pretty much a mess and the code sucks.

code style

a few rules i came up with for myself to avoid blackbox magic:

• no indirect imports using readDir or whatever
• no custom overlays - any custom utils are explicitly imported. the only exception - globally available abs (in specialArgs) for absolute paths.
• no custom options - only options defined in nixos search can be used.

there isn't much other than that, im just starting out.

impure dependencies

note to self on what needs to be installed on the host manually:

• /etc/iso/win11.iso - iso containing windows 11 installer (e.g. this: magnet) currently unused
• /etc/vms/haos.img - qcow2 image for haos vm (can be downloaded from the official website, the KVM/Proxmox image).
• /etc/ssh/agenix_key - private key for secret decryption
• /etc/secureboot/keys - secure boot keys, generated with sudo nix-shell -p sbctl --run "sbctl create-keys"
• to enroll fde onto tpm: sudo systemd-cryptenroll /dev/nvme0n1p2 --tpm2-device=auto --tpm2-pcrs=0+2+7

nginx may not start the first time, its fine, just run sudo systemctl restart nginx and it should work. its likely due to docker containers not resolving yet.
