- Add server-backlight-off service to set backlight to 0 ~65s after boot (consoleblank only blanks framebuffer; backlight stays on otherwise) - Enable programs.light and add danny to video group for light(1) at console - At console: light -S 100 to restore brightness Made-with: Cursor |

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", 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:
scp nixos/server-configuration-with-flakes.nix danny@<server>:/tmp/configuration.nix
On the server:
sudo cp /tmp/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Then build and switch to the flake:
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.
