DannyDannyDanny b0c8664f5c docs: update stale dotfiles/nixos flake paths 📝
Stage 4f cleanup. The flake moved from ~/dotfiles/nixos/ to ~/dotfiles/
in 88c5139; docs and install scripts hadn't been refreshed. Point all
rebuild / flake references at the new root:

- AGENTS.md, README.md, server-quickstart.md, docs/server-installer-usb.md,
  docs/sunken-ship-wifi.md, nixos/readme.md — rebuild command paths.
- scripts/nixos-server-install.sh — auto-detect now looks for flake.nix
  at repo root (was nixos/flake.nix).
- scripts/post-install-provision.sh — first-rebuild hint path.

`nixos/hosts/<host>-hardware.nix` and friends stay where they are —
host-specific NixOS modules still live under nixos/; only the flake
entry-points + sops/ + vars/ + lib/ + modules/ + flake-modules/ moved.

nixos/readme.md rewritten to reflect the split (flake at root, per-host
modules under nixos/).

NixOS modules

Host-specific NixOS and home-manager modules live under this dir:

  • hosts/<machine>.nix + hosts/<machine>-hardware.nix
  • home/danny/home.nix (home-manager)
  • fish.nix, neovim.nix, ollama.nix, installer-iso.nix, disko-server.nix

The flake itself (flake.nix, flake.lock, flake-modules/, lib/, modules/, sops/, vars/) lives at the repo root, not here. See CLAUDE.md at the repo root for rebuild commands, clan.lol operations, and the dotfiles-rebuild timer.

Quick rebuild reference

# macOS
cd ~/dotfiles && darwin-rebuild switch --flake .

# WSL
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles#wsl

# Servers (via clan from mac)
nix run git+https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core#clan-cli -- \
  machines update sunken-ship --flake ~/dotfiles

Server bootstrap (one-time)

nix run --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" nixpkgs#git -- \
  clone https://github.com/DannyDannyDanny/dotfiles.git /tmp/dotfiles
sudo mv /tmp/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/dotfiles#sunken-ship \
  --option accept-flake-config true

If the daemon doesn't have flakes: copy server-configuration-with-flakes.nix to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, sudo nixos-rebuild switch, then build the flake.

SSH keys (not in repo): scp ~/.ssh/*.pub danny@server:/tmp/, then on server mkdir -p ~/.ssh; cat /tmp/*.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. See docs/ssh-and-secrets.md.

No git in PATH: sudo nix run nixpkgs#git -- -C /etc/dotfiles pull origin main.
