Tools, scripts, and configurations for my machines. * Installation ** Steps for a new Darwin machine Start by installing nix, using [[https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer][nix-installer]] from [[https://determinate.systems][DeterminateSystems]]. #+begin_src sh curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install #+end_src Now you can build the configuration (remember, the host name is in lower case): #+begin_src sh nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake . #+end_src Finally, switch the default shell via =chsh=, and set it to =/run/current-system/sw/bin/fish=. Best to reboot to complete the installation. ** Steps for a new droplet on DigitalOcean Start by creating a droplet using Debian. Create a new host configuration. Once the droplet is provisioned, we can use =nixos-anywhere= to convert the droplet to a NixOS installation. #+begin_src sh nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake .# --target-host root@ #+end_src Once the host reboots, check that it's converted to NixOS by running =uname -a=. ** Steps for a new VM on the Synology NAS - chose VGA for the display (otherwise ~systemd-udevd~ gets stuck) - use UEFI for boot - use the ISO generated with =nix build .#nixosConfigurations.iso.config.system.build.isoImage= - boot to the installer - run =nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake .# --target-host ** Create the nixos installer Run #+begin_src sh nix build .#nixosConfigurations.iso.config.system.build.isoImage #+end_src Then copy to a USB stick with: #+begin_src sh sudo dd if=result/iso/nixos-minimal-25.05git.25e53aa156d-x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/rdisk5 bs=1M conv=sync status=progress #+end_src ** Bare metal machine We can install remotely a machine with =nixos-anywhere=, including full disk encryption. First, create a password in 1password for the machine (using the convention "nix//encryption"). Next run the following snippet to create the SSH host key for init boot (this is needed so we can ssh to the host to unlock it). #+begin_src sh set temp (mktemp -d) ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N "" -C "initrd-root-ssh" -f "$temp/etc/initrd/ssh_host_ed25519_key" nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake .#rivendell --build-on remote --disk-encryption-keys /tmp/pass (op read "op://Private/vmifhwbjtvaqp3422gfbjxdq2y/password"|psub) --target-host root@192.168.1.112 --extra-files "$temp" #+end_src * DNS Update records through the [[https://dash.cloudflare.com/2c659eeaf2ae9a0206c589c706b3748e/fcuny.net][console]]. * Secrets Start by synchronizing the SSH key by running =sync-ssh-key= in the repository. Then, to create or edit a secret: #+begin_src sh cd (git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/secrets agenix -i ~/.ssh/agenix -e users/fcuny/llm.age #+end_src And to rekey a secret: #+begin_src sh cd (git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/secrets agenix -i ~/.ssh/agenix -r #+end_src * Network ** Wireguard *** New host On a host, run the following: #+begin_src sh wg genkey > wireguard wg pubkey < wireguard > wireguard.pub #+end_src Then create the secret in ../secrets/secrets.nix with #+begin_src sh agenix -i ~/.ssh/agenix -e /wireguard.age #+end_src Then add the following to the host's configuration: #+begin_src nix age.secrets.wireguard.file = ../../../../secrets/rivendell/wireguard.age; networking.wireguard = { enable = true; interfaces.wg0 = { ips = [ "10.100.0.60/32" ]; listenPort = 51871; privateKeyFile = config.age.secrets.wireguard.path; peers = [ { # digital ocean droplet publicKey = "I+l/sWtfXcdunz2nZ05rlDexGew30ZuDxL0DVTTK318="; allowedIPs = [ "10.100.0.0/24" ]; endpoint = "165.232.158.110:51871"; persistentKeepalive = 25; } ]; }; }; networking.firewall.allowedUDPPorts = [ 51871 ]; #+end_src * Backups Backups are done with =restic= and are stored on the local machine, and they are then synchronized to the NAS.
