Nix Configs

An effort to merge my dotfiles, dockerfiles and ahk-assistant in a declarative way.

Amend your variables.nix, then run:

sudo nixos-rebuild -I nixos-config=entrypoint.nix switch

Machines

• arcadia - Intel NUC HTPC
• artemis - Ampere VPS
• atlas - Gaming workstation
• ilias - Optiplex NAS
• minerva - Thinkpad Laptop

Notes

Hostnames

I'm intentionally avoiding using flakes for this project, so you'll need to set your hostname to one of the above, then run the switch command at the top.

Filesystems

Filesystems are mounted via label, not UUID; so you'll want to label your drives before installing:

nix-shell -p dosfstools
sudo fatlabel /dev/sda1 NIXBOOT
sudo e2label /dev/sda2 NIXROOT

Upgrades

All system.stateVersion are defined at time of install. To upgrade a system, change the channel:

sudo nix-channel --list
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-25.11 nixos
sudo nix-channel --update

The home-manager version is defined in common/home-manager.nix.
