Built for Life, Liberty, and the Open Road.
+ 100% Immutable+ 100% Declarative+ 100% Reproducible * Introduction
This is my personal configuration for [[https://linux.org][GNU/Linux]] systems. It enables a consistent experience and computing environment across all of my machines. This project is written with [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]], leveraging its capabilities for [[https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/27.2.97][Literate Programming]], a technique where programs are written in a natural language, such as English, interspersed with snippets of code to describe a software project.
#+NAME: file-warning#+BEGIN_SRC textThis file is controlled by /etc/dotfiles/README.org#+END_SRC
** Getting Started
1) [[https://nixos.org/download.html][Download the latest version of NixOS]]2) [[https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation-partitioning][Partition your drives and mount the file system]]3) Clone the project ~git clone git@git.chrishayward.xyz:chris/dotfiles /mnt/etc/dotfiles~4) Load the default shell ~nix-shell /mnt/etc/dotfiles~5) Install the system ~sudo nixos-install --impure --flake /mnt/etc/dotfiles#nixos~6) Reboot, login and start a graphical system ~startx~
** Making Changes
The ~nixos-rebuild~ command updates the system so that it corresponds to the configuration specified in the module. It builds the new system in =/nix/store/=, runs the activation scripts, and restarts and system services (if needed). The command has one required argument, which specifies the desired operation:
#+NAME: rebuild-command-table| Command | Description ||----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| boot | Build the new configuration and make it the boot default, without activation || test | Build and activate the new configuration, without adding it to the boot menu || switch | Build and activate the new configuration, making it the new boot default || build | Build the new configuration, without activation, nor adding it to the boot menu || build-vm | Build a script that starts a virtual machine with the desired configuration |
After making changes to the configuration the ~switch~ command will build and activate a new configuration.
#+BEGIN_SRC shell# Build and activate a new configuration.sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake $FLAKE#$HOSTNAME#+END_SRC
Instead of building a new configuration, it's possible to rollback to a previous generation using the ~nixos-rebuild~ command, by supplying the ~--rollback~ argument.
#+BEGIN_SRC shell# Rollback to the previous generation.sudo nixos-rebuild switch --rollback#+END_SRC
** Docker Container
It's possible to use parts of this configuration using a [[https://docker.org][Docker]] container. By default, sandboxing is turned /off/ inside of the container, even though it's enabled in new installations. This can lead to differences between derivations built inside containers, versus those built without any containerization. This is especially true if a derivation relies on sandboxing to block sideloading of dependencies.
Install from the command line: ~docker pull ghcr.io/chayward1/dotfiles:main~
#+BEGIN_SRC dockerfile :tangle Dockerfile :noweb yes# <<file-warning>>
# Derive from the official image.FROM nixos/nix
# Setup the default environment.WORKDIR /etc/dotfilesCOPY . .
# Load the default system shell.RUN nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shell.nix#+END_SRC
* Operating System
[[https://nixos.org][NixOS]] is a purely functional Linux distribution built on top of the [[https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/Nix][Nix Package Manager]]. It uses a declarative configuration language to define entire computer systems, and allows reliable system upgrades and rollbacks. [[https://nixos.org][NixOS]] also has tool dedicated to DevOps and deployment tasks, and makes it trivial to share development environments.

** Docker
[[https://docker.org][Docker]] is a set of platform as a service tools that use OS level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries, and configuratuion files.
[[https://docs.docker.com/compose/][Compose]] is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all of the services from your configuration.
[[https://docs.docker.com/machine/][Machine]] is a tool that lets you install Docker Engine on virtual hosts, and manage the hosts with ~docker-machine~ commands. You can use Machine to create hosts on your local box, company network, data center, or on any cloud provider.
Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/docker.nix~
#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/docker.nix# <<file-warning>>{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
with pkgs;mkShell { buildInputs = [ docker-compose docker-machine ]; shellHook = '' '';}#+END_SRC
** Heroku
[[https://heroku.com][Heroku]] is a cloud platform as a service supporting several programming languages. One of the first cloud platforms, Heroku has been in development since June 2007, when it supported only the Ruby programming language. It now supports Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP, and Go.
Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/heroku.nix~
#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/heroku.nix# <<file-warning>>{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
with pkgs;mkShell { buildInputs = [ heroku ]; shellHook = '' '';}#+END_SRC
* Host Configurations
[[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] typically stores the current machine configuration in =/etc/nixos/configuration.nix=. In this project, this file is stored in =/etc/dotfiles/hosts/$HOSTNAME/...=, and imported, along with the generated hardware configurations. This ensures that multiple host machines can share the same modules, and generating new host definitions is trivial. It also makes it easier to share common configurations amongst all of the hosts, such as with pre-configured wireless networking:
#+NAME: host-config-wifi#+BEGIN_SRC nixnetworking.wireless.networks = { MyWiFi_5C1870 = { priority = 3; pskRaw = "409b3c85fef1c5737f284d2f82f20dc6023e41804e862d4fa26265ef8193b326"; }; SM-G975W3034 = { priority = 1; pskRaw = "74835d96a98ca2c56ffe4eaf92223f8a555168b59ec2bb22b1e46b2a333adc80"; };};#+END_SRC
It's helpful to add the machine hostnames to the networking configuration, so I can refer to another host across the network by name. Some devices that can have more than one IP (WIFI / Ethernet) will have the wireless hostname suffixed:
#+NAME: host-config-home#+BEGIN_SRC nixnetworking.hosts = { # "192.168.3.105" = [ "gamingpc" ]; # "192.168.3.163" = [ "acernitro" ]; # "192.168.3.182" = [ "raspberry" ]; # "192.168.3.183" = [ "homecloud" ];};#+END_SRC
Setting up new machines, especially headless ones like the Raspberry Pi Zero, can be difficult with NixOS. I find it easier to setup automatic network configuration, and wait for the machine to appear on the network. This is complimented with a pre-authorized SSH key, making it simple to connect and complete the installation headlessly.
#+NAME: host-config-ssh#+BEGIN_SRC nixusers.users.chris.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIO4wka/LfG3pto15DIm9LIRbb6rWr7/ipCRiCdAKSlY4 chris@chrishayward.xyz"];#+END_SRC
** Default
The default host, built using [[https://qemu.org][QEMU]], a free and open-source emulator that can perform hardware virtualization. It features a lightweight system optimized for development, running [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]] + [[https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm][EXWM]] as the graphical environment.
#+NAME: host-default#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yesnixos = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { system = "x86_64-linux"; specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; modules = [ ./hosts/nixos <<module-x11>> <<module-ssh>> <<module-hugo>> <<module-flakes>> <<module-cachix>> <<module-firefox>> <<module-home-manager>> ];};#+END_SRC

*** Configuration
This is a basic default configuration that specified the indended default configuration of the system. Because [[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] has a declarative configuration model, you can create or edit a description of the desired configuration, and update it from one file.
#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle hosts/nixos/configuration.nix# <<file-warning>>{ config, pkgs, inputs, ... }:

* Module Definitions
Modules are files combined by [[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] to produce the full system configuration. Modules wre introduced to allow extending NixOS without modifying its source code. They also allow splitting up =configuration.nix=, making the system configuration easier to maintain and use.
** X11

** Flakes
#+NAME: module-flakes#+BEGIN_SRC nix./modules/flakes.nix#+END_SRC
[[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][Nix Flakes]] are an upcoming feature of the [[https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/][Nix Package Manager]]. They allow you to specify your codes dependencies in a declarative way, simply by listing them inside of a ~flake.nix~ file. Each dependency is then pinned to a specific git-hash. Flakes replace the =nix-channels= command and things like ~builtins.fetchGit~, keeping dependencies at the top of the tree, and channels always in sync. Currently, Flakes are not available unless explicitly enabled.

** Native Comp
#+NAME: emacs-native-comp-package#+BEGIN_SRC nixpkgs.emacsGcc;#+END_SRC
Native Comp, also known as GccEmacs, refers to the ~--with-native-compilation~ configuration option when building [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]]. It adds support for compiling [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/index.html][Emacs Lisp]] to native code using ~libgccjit~. All of the Emacs Lisp packages shipped with Emacs are native-compiled, providing a noticable performance iomprovement out-of-the-box.

** Disable UI
[[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] has been around since the 1980s, and it's painfully obvious when you're greeted with the default user interface. Disable some unwanted features to clean it up, and bring the appearance to something closer to a modern editor.
#+NAME: emacs-disable-ui-elisp#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp;; Disable unwanted UI elements.(tooltip-mode -1)(menu-bar-mode -1)(tool-bar-mode -1)(scroll-bar-mode -1)

** Backup Files
[[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] makes a backup for a file only the first time the file is saved from a buffer. No matter how many times the file is subsequently written to, the backup remains unchanged. For files managed by a version control system, backup files are redundant since the previous versions are already stored.

** Shell Commands
Define some methods for interaction between [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]], and the systems underyling shell:
1) Method to run an external process, launching any application on a new process without interference2) Method to apply commands to the current call process, effecting the running instance

** Improved prompts
By default Emacs will ask you to enter 'Yes' or 'No' instead of 'Y' or 'N'. This is a relatively conservative design decision, based on the fact that certain prompts may be important enough to warrant typing three characters.

#+NAME: emacs-frames-elisp#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp;; Define a `hydra' function for resizing the current frame.(defhydra hydra-resize-frame (:timeout 4) "Scale the current frame." ("h" shrink-window-horizontally "Left") ("j" enlarge-window "Down") ("k" shrink-window "Up") ("l" enlarge-window-horizontally "Right") ("f" nil "Finished" :exit t))

While operating similarily to other completion schemes like =icomplete-mode=, it aims to be more efficient, smaller, simpler, and smoother to use, while remaining highly customizable.

** Transparency
It's possible to control the frame opacity in [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]]. Unlike other transparency hacks, it's not merely showing the desktop background image, but is true transparency -- you can see other windows behind the Emacs window.
#+NAME: emacs-transparency-elisp#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp;; Configure the default frame transparency.(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha '(95 . 95))(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(alpha . (95 . 95)))#+END_SRC
** Desktop Environment
#+NAME: emacs-desktop-extras#+BEGIN_SRC nixpkgs.brightnessctl#+END_SRC
The [[https://github.com/DamienCassou/desktop-environment][Desktop Environment]] package provides commands and a global minor mode for controlling your [[https://linux.org][GNU/Linux]] desktop from within [[https://gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]].
#+NAME: emacs-desktop-package#+BEGIN_SRC nixepkgs.desktop-environment#+END_SRC
You can control the brightness, volume, take screenshots, and lock / unlock the screen. The package depends on the availability of shell commands to do the heavy lifting. They can be changed by customizing the appropriate variables.

* Website Configuration
My [[https://chrishayward.xyz][personal website]] is a static HTML page written with [[https://gohugo.io][Hugo]], and is fully integrated into this configuration.
It uses the ~config.toml~, ~config.yaml~, or ~config.json~ file (found in the sites root directory) as the default site config.
