Dotfiles

This is my personal dotfiles repository. The files are managed with nix-darwin and home-manager.

Fresh install

  1. Make sure username is jaakkopaju

  2. Change hostname to Jaakkos-MacBook-Pro for personal use, or Wolt-MacBook-Pro for work use

  3. Install Determinate Nix

  4. Install homebrew

  5. Clone dotfiles repo to `~/.dotfiles

    nix run nixpkgs#git clone https://github.com/jpaju/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

  6. Install nix-darwin

    sudo nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/dotfiles \
  --option extra-substituters "https://nix-community.cachix.org https://helix.cachix.org" \
  --option extra-trusted-public-keys "nix-community.cachix.org-1:mB9FSh9qf2dCimDSUo8Zy7bkq5CX+/rkCWyvRCYg3Fs= helix.cachix.org-1:ejp9KQpR1FBI2onstMQ34yogDm4OgU2ru6lIwPvuCVs="

  7. Configure sops-nix to manage secrets by configuring the private key. The private key must be placed in ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt file . If nix has already installed packages, the secret can be configured with 1password CLI by running the following command:

    mkdir -p ~/.config/sops/age/
op item get "sops-nix age private key" --fields password --reveal >> ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt
