dotfiles/nixos/readme.md

Rebuild nixos and points to dotfiles dir:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#macbookair
# or
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#wsl
# or (macOS)
sudo -H nix run github:lnl7/nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#Daniel-Macbook-Air

Server (nixos-server)

One-time on the server (git is not installed until after the first rebuild, so use nix run to get git):

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
# Enable flakes for this run (needed if the current system config does not)
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/dotfiles/nixos#nixos-server --option accept-flake-config true

If that fails with "does not provide attribute ... nixos-rebuild", build and switch manually (NIX_CONFIG makes the daemon accept flakes for this run):

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
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.

After that, a timer pulls and rebuilds every 15 min when main changes. Config lives in hosts/nixos-server.nix and hosts/nixos-server-hardware.nix.
