## Boot a VM
|
|
|
|
Check launch.sh
|
|
|
|
## Create basic partitioning
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
|
|
|
|
# uefi part
|
|
sudo parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 512MiB
|
|
sudo parted /dev/sda -- set 1 esp on
|
|
sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda1
|
|
|
|
# encrypted part
|
|
sudo parted /dev/sda -- mkpart cryptroot 512MiB 100%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setup the crypted boot:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 # need to set the password
|
|
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 cryptlvm
|
|
|
|
sudo pvcreate /dev/mapper/cryptlvm
|
|
sudo vgcreate EncryptedOS /dev/mapper/cryptlvm
|
|
|
|
sudo lvcreate -L 8G EncryptedOS -n swap
|
|
sudo lvcreate -l 100%FREE EncryptedOS -n root
|
|
|
|
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/MyVolGroup/root
|
|
mkswap -L cryptswap /dev/MyVolGroup/swap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Mount our stuff!
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo swapon -L cryptswap
|
|
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
|
|
sudo mkdir /mnt/boot
|
|
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generate the configuration
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then we need to update `/mnt/etc/nix/configuration.nix` to add luks to the initrd:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
# snip...
|
|
boot.initrd.luks.devices."cryptlvm".device = "/dev/disk/by-partlabel/cryptroot";
|
|
# snip...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Another tutorial updates the hardware-configuration.nix but it seems to be a bad practise as the file may be overwritten in the future by some Nix tools*
|
|
|
|
*Do not forget to put "s" at the end when required, do not forget the semi colon at the end of the expression*.
|
|
|
|
When ready, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nixos-install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The tool assumes that you mounted your future system on `/mnt`.
|
|
|
|
Type the password you want for your root user, wait that the program returns and poweroff:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo poweroff
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Booting on a fresh NixOS
|
|
|
|
*Show how we changed the command line*
|
|
|
|
Start your VM, first type your cryptsetup password.
|
|
Then login with the root account (you just created the password with `nixos-install`).
|
|
|
|
If you made a change to your configuration.nix, you can apply it with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nixos-rebuild switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can update your system by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-channel --update nixos
|
|
nixos-rebuild switch
|
|
```
|
|

|
## Setting up my users
|
|
|
|
I chose to go for the declarative way.
|
|
|
|
I first set:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
users.mutableUsers = false;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then I create my user:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
users.users.quentin = {
|
|
isNormalUser = true;
|
|
home = "/home/quentin";
|
|
description = "Quentin Dufour";
|
|
extraGroups = [ "wheel" "networkmanager" ];
|
|
hashedPassword = ""; # compute with mkpasswd -m sha-512
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting up my DE
|
|
|
|
I chose Sway which is an i3 clone for Wayland.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
programs.sway.enable = true;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is covered here: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-wayland
|
|
|
|
I also added some programs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wget
|
|
vim
|
|
nyxt
|
|
alacritty
|
|
```
