NixOS Configuration

This repository contains a complete, declarative NixOS configuration suite managed via Nix Flakes. It provides tailored system and user configurations for multiple hardware targets and usage scenarios.

📂 Repository Structure

• /hosts: Machine-specific system configurations.
• /home-manager: User-level configurations (dotfiles, user apps).
• /modules: Shared system modules (e.g., Plex, Immich, Sway).
• /containers: LXC templates and specific container configs.

🛠️ Bootstrapping on a Fresh Install

1. Enable Flakes

By default, NixOS does not have Flakes enabled. You must first add the following to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

nix shell nixpkgs#git --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes"

2. Clone this Repository

Clone this repo to your desired location (e.g., ~/nixos-config):

git clone https://github.com/iamlyth/nixos.git
cd ~/nixos

3. Apply the Flake Configuration

Once in the directory, you can switch your system to one of the predefined host configurations:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>

(Replace <hostname> with desktopOS, laptopOS, mediaOS, etc.)

🚀 Usage

Applying a Configuration

To apply a configuration to your current system, ensure you have Nix Flakes enabled and run:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>

Example for desktop:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#desktopOS

Building the LXC Template

To generate a Proxmox LXC template image:

nix build .#lxctemplate
