# The NixOS Installer
|
|
|
|
This installer is named after my doggo Onyxia.
|
|
|
|
At the core of this installer it does the following:
|
|
|
|
- Partition the drive of your choice using the `rsfdisk` crate.
|
|
- Uses `flake.nix` to set certain modules depending on the system like nixos-hardware for the Pinebook Pro
|
|
- Installs a base of NixOS (`configuration.nix`)
|
|
|
|
nix files are from [this repo](https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nix-configs/) but that can be changed as needed.
|
|
|
|
This sets the hashedPassword to my own so you will need to update it to match your own as well as the username. I created the hash with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkpasswd -m sha-512
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Development
|
|
|
|
## Clone the repository
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nyxi-installer.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enter the repository that you just cloned
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd nyxi-installer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enter nix-shell
|
|
|
|
This is if you are already running NixOS on your system where development will take place. This will install the needed system packages, set environment variables and such for development.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building and testing
|
|
|
|
You can use normal `cargo` commands like:
|
|
|
|
- `cargo test`
|
|
- `cargo build`
|
|
- `cargo run`
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** you will need to build the program and run it with `sudo` currently so `cargo run` is not the best for testing.
