My (almost) reproducible nixos configuration

"Features"

• Pinned checkout of nixpkgs
• home-manager
• doom-emacs
• xmonad
• urxvt

Installation

Not extensively tested, probably with hickups.

cd /etc/nixos
sudo chown -R $USER .
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:sveitser/nixconfig.git
git pull --recurse-submodules origin master

# To save time, copy nixpkgs repo to /etc/nixos/nixpkgs from somewhere close.
git submodules init

ln -s /etc/nixos/nixpkgs ~/nixpkgs
ln -s /etc/nixos/home-nixpkgs ~/.config/nixpkgs

mv configuration.nix{,.bkp}
ln -s this-machines-config.nix configuration.nix

# we won't be using channels
rm -r ~/.nix-defexpr/*
ln -s /etc/nixos/nixpkgs ~/.nix-defexpr

sudo nixos-rebuild -I nixpkgs=/etc/nixos/nixpkgs -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix switch

nix-shell ~/.config/nixpkgs/home-manager -A install
home-manager switch

# Probably best to reboot at this point.

Todo

• Deterministic doom emacs setup.
  • doom-emacs submodule.
  • Emacs packages via nix.
• Recompile xmonad when configuration is modified.
