# 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
|
|
- Installs a base of NixOS (`configuration.nix`)
|
|
- Installs a DE/WM of your choice (currently supporting GNOME, Plasma, Pantheon and Sway)
|
|
- Installs needed packages for certain hardware
|
|
|
|
nix files are from [this repo](https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nix-configs/) but that can be changed as needed.
|
|
|
|
Tested on the following drives:
|
|
- SATA
|
|
- NVMe
|
|
|
|
Tested on the following architectures:
|
|
- x86_64
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo mkpasswd -m sha-512
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Get Started
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
- Prepare an installation medium.
|
|
- Boot the live environment.
|
|
- Connect to internet.
|
|
|
|
## Connect to internet
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
> add_network
|
|
0
|
|
> set_network 0 ssid "myhomenetwork"
|
|
OK
|
|
> set_network 0 psk "mypassword"
|
|
OK
|
|
> set_network 0 key_mgmt WPA-PSK
|
|
OK
|
|
> enable_network 0
|
|
OK
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
## Start the installer
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sh <(curl -L https://gitlab.com/ahoneybun/nyxi-installer/-/raw/main/install.sh)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following will happen:
|
|
|
|
- Clear partition table for `/dev/***`.
|
|
- Creates a GPT partition table for `/dev/***`.
|
|
- Creates a 1GB EFI partiton at `/dev/***1`.
|
|
- Creates a 4GB Swap partition at `/dev/***3`.
|
|
- Creates a root partition with the rest of the space at `/dev/***2`.
|
|
- Installs systemd-boot
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- [x] Merge ARM64 and x86_64 together into one branch
|
|
|
|
# Possible Ideas
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Install nix-channels such as `nixos-hardware` and `home-manager` after install.
