2020-03-01 | Removing unused parameters in installer.nix | William Carroll | 1 | -1/+1 | |
I'm neither using config nor pkgs, so I'm deleteing them. | |||||
2020-02-22 | Incorporate NixOS configuration | William Carroll | 1 | -0/+1 | |
TL;DR: - Move /etc/nixos/configuration.nix -> //nixos/configuration.nix - Move /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix -> //nixos/harware.nix - Document installer.nix - Create rebuild.nix wrapper around `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` Previously I sketched ideas for the configuration.nix for socrates -- also known as flattop -- the inexpensive Acer laptop residing in my flat and stored that configuration.nix file in briefcase. Now, however, I have successfully installed NixOS onto socrates. By default NixOS saves the configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix files to /etc/nixos/. I'm moving both of these files into briefcase. Because the command `nixos-rebuild` looks for the NixOS configuration file in /etc/nixos, I wrote rebuild.nix, which creates a program to call `nixos-rebuild` with the new location of my configuration.nix. | |||||
2020-02-20 | Support installer.nix | William Carroll | 1 | -0/+11 | |
The command... nix-build -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=installer.nix nixos ...creates an .iso file in the ./result directory. You can then copy this onto a USB and use it a custom installer... cp ./result/iso/*-linux.iso /dev/sda I needed an installer that used a version of the Linux kernel higher than the one distributed on NixOS's website: 4.19.? -> 5.4.20+. My Acer laptop needed a version of the kernel that supported its network controller: Intel 3168NGW. TODO(wpcarro): Pin the nixpkgs git commit SHA inside of installer.nix. |
