# Enable flakes for this run (needed if the current system config does not)

If that fails with "does not provide attribute ... nixos-rebuild", build and switch manually (NIX_CONFIG makes the daemon accept flakes for this run):
If that fails with "does not provide attribute ... nixos-rebuild", enable flakes for the Nix daemon via the current config (on NixOS, `/etc/nix/nix.conf` is often read-only), then build and switch manually.
**From your Mac:** push a config that enables flakes, then on the server copy it and rebuild:
```bash
NIX_CONFIG="extra-experimental-features = nix-command flakes" sudo nix build /etc/dotfiles/nixos#nixosConfigurations.nixos-server.config.system.build.toplevel -o /tmp/nixos-result
scp nixos/server-configuration-with-flakes.nix danny@<server>:/tmp/configuration.nix
```
**On the server:**
```bash
sudo cp /tmp/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
```
Then build and switch to the flake:
```bash
sudo nix build /etc/dotfiles/nixos#nixosConfigurations.nixos-server.config.system.build.toplevel -o /tmp/nixos-result
sudo /tmp/nixos-result/bin/switch-to-configuration switch
```
Use `git@github.com:DannyDannyDanny/dotfiles.git` if the repo is private (clone as danny then `sudo mv` and `sudo chown -R root:root /etc/dotfiles`).
SSH keys for danny (not in repo): from your machine `scp ~/.ssh/*.pub danny@server:/tmp/`, then on server `mkdir -p ~/.ssh; cat /tmp/*.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys`.
