NixOS flake

Rebuild from dotfiles dir:

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

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

# sunken-ship (on server)
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/dotfiles/nixos#sunken-ship

Server (sunken-ship)

One-time bootstrap (no git until first rebuild):

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/nixos#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, run sudo nixos-rebuild switch, then build and switch to the flake (see server-quickstart.md for SSH keys).

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.

Timer: every 15 min the server pulls and rebuilds when main changes. Config: hosts/sunken-ship.nix, hosts/sunken-ship-hardware.nix.

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