My Awesome Dotfiles

My dotfiles collection for a flawless workflow. Starring zsh, nvim, zellij, and NixOS.

Bootstrapping NixOS

1. Download and boot the NixOS installer

2. If using WiFi, connect to it:

   wpa_passphrase <ESSID> | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
   sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
   

3. Run bootstrap script:

   sudo -i
   nix-env -iA nixos.git
   git clone https://github.com/maxbrunet/dotfiles.git
   cd dotfiles
   ./scripts/bootstrap.sh <HOSTNAME>
   reboot
   

4. Generate SSH key:

   /etc/nixos/scripts/generate-ssh-key.sh
   

5. Install Rust toolchain:

   rustup toolchain install stable --component rust-analyzer
   

Bootstrapping macOS

At least it is not Windows.

1. Install Nix

2. Log out and log back in to load the new shell profiles installed by Nix (possibly restart)

3. Install the dotfiles:

   sudo mkdir /etc/nix-darwin
   sudo chown "${UID}:${GID}" /etc/nix-darwin
   # Git is not installed, so curl and tar are used to get a copy of the repository
   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://github.com/maxbrunet/dotfiles/archive/HEAD.tar.gz \
     | tar xvf - --strip-components=1 -C /etc/nix-darwin
   cd /etc/nix-darwin
   

4. Prepare system for nix-darwin:

   sudo mv /etc/bashrc /etc/bashrc.orig
   sudo mv /etc/shells /etc/shells.orig
   sudo mv /etc/zshrc /etc/zshrc.orig
   sudo mv /etc/nix/nix.conf /etc/nix/nix.conf.orig
   

5. Install Command Line Tools for Xcode (required by Homebrew)

   xcode-select --install
   

6. Install Rosetta:

   softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
   

7. Install nix-darwin:

   nix --extra-experimental-features 'flakes nix-command' build ".#darwinConfigurations.$(scutil --get LocalHostName).system"
   ./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch
   

8. Change login shell to Nix's Zsh:

   chsh -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/zsh maxime
   

9. Log out and log back in to load the new shell profiles installed by nix-darwin (possibly restart)

10. Git should now be available, fetch the Git tracking data:

    cd /etc/nix-darwin
    git init
    git remote add --fetch origin https://git@github.com/maxbrunet/dotfiles.git
    git reset origin/HEAD
    git remote set-url origin git@github.com:maxbrunet/dotfiles.git
    

11. Configure SSH client:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100
cat >>~/.ssh/config <<EOF
Host *
  SetEnv LC_ALL=C
  UseKeychain yes
EOF

11. Set up Podman machine for k3d:

# https://github.com/k3d-io/k3d/issues/1082
podman machine ssh bash -e <<EOF
echo 'Delegate=cpuset' | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system/user@.service.d/delegate.conf
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart user@\${UID}
EOF
