* Introduction

This is my personal configuration(s) for GNU/Linux[fn:1] systems. It enables a consistent experience and computing environment across all of my machines. This project is written with GNU/Emacs[fn:2], leveraging its capabilities for Literate Programming[fn:3], 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 text
This file is controlled by /etc/dotfiles/README.org
#+END_SRC

** Getting Started

1) Download the latest version of NixOS https://nixos.org/download.html
2) Partition drives and mount the file system https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation-partitioning
3) Clone the project to =/mnt/etc/dotfiles= ~git clone git@git.chrishayward.xyz:chris/dotfiles /mnt/etc/dotfiles~
4) Load the default shell environment ~nix-shell /mnt/etc/dotfiles~
5) Install the default system ~sudo nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/dotfiles#nixos~
6) Reboot and login, start a graphical system with ~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:

+ 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

#+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 the 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.

#+BEGIN_SRC conf :tangle Dockerfile
# Derive from the official image.
FROM nixos/nix

# Add the unstable channel.
RUN nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs
RUN nix-channel --update

# Setup the default environment.
WORKDIR /etc/dotfiles
COPY . .

# Load the default system shell.
RUN nix-shell /etc/dotfiles
#+END_SRC

* Operating System

NixOS[fn:4] is a purely functional Linux distribution built on top of the Nix[fn:5] package manager. It uses a declarative configuration language to define entire computer systems, and allows reliable system upgrades and rollbacks. NixOS[fn:4] also has tool dedicated to DevOps and deployment tasks, and makes it trivial to share development environments.

      <<host-zero-two>>
    };
  };
}
#+END_SRC

** Nixpkgs

Nixpkgs[fn:6] is a collection of over 60,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix[fn:5] package manager. Two main branches are offered:

1) The current stable release
2) The Unstable branch following the latest development

#+NAME: os-nixpkgs
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
nixpkgs-unstable.url = "nixpkgs/master";
#+END_SRC

** Home Manager

Home Manager[fn:7] provides a basic system for managing user environments using the Nix[fn:5] package manager together with the Nix libraries found in Nixpkgs[fn:6]. It allows declarative configuration of user specific (non-global) packages and files.

#+NAME: os-home-manager
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
#+END_SRC

** Emacs Overlay

Adding the Emacs Overlay[fn:8] extends the GNU/Emacs[fn:2] package set to contain the latest versions, and daily generations from popular package sources, including the needed dependencies to run GNU/Emacs[fn:2] as a Window Manager.

#+NAME: os-emacs-overlay
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
emacs-overlay.url = "github:nix-community/emacs-overlay";
#+END_SRC

** NixOS Hardware

NixOS Hardware[fn:9] is a collection of NixOS[fn:4] modules covering specific hardware quirks. Unlike the channel, this will update the git repository on a rebuild. However, it's easy to pin particular revisions for more stability.

#+NAME: os-nixos-hardware
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
nixos-hardware.url = "github:nixos/nixos-hardware";
#+END_SRC

** Nix On Droid

Nix On Droid[fn:10] is a deployment of the Nix[fn:5] Package Manager on Android, in a single-click installable package. It does not require =root=, user namespace support, or disabling SELinux, but relies on =proot=. It has no relation to the Termux distribution.

#+NAME: os-nix-on-droid
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
nix-on-droid.url = "github:t184256/nix-on-droid/master";
nix-on-droid.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
#+END_SRC

* Development Shells

The command ~nix-shell~[fn:11] will build the dependencies of the specified derivation, but not the derivation itself. It will then start an interactive shell in which all environment variables defined by the derivation /path/ have been set to their corresponding values.

Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shell.nix~.

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shell.nix
# <<file-warning>>
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:

with pkgs;

let
  nixBin = writeShellScriptBin "nix" ''
    ${nixFlakes}/bin/nix --option experimental-features "nix-command flakes" "$@"
  '';

  buildInputs = [
    git
  ];
  shellHook = ''
    export FLAKE="$(pwd)"
    export PATH="$FLAKE/bin:${nixBin}/bin:$PATH"
  '';
}
#+END_SRC

** Go

Go[fn:12] is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. It's statically typed and compiled programming language. It's syntactically similar to C, but with memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency.

Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/go.nix~

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/go.nix
# <<file-warning>>
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:

  shellHook = ''
    export GO111MODULE=on
    export GOPATH=$XDG_DATA_HOME/go
    export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
  '';
}
#+END_SRC

** Rust

Rust[fn:13] is a multi-paradigm programming language designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. It is syntactically similar to C++, but can garantee memory safety by using a borrow checker to validate references. Rust[fn:13] achieves memory safety /without/ garbage collection, and reference counting is optional.

Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/rust.nix~.

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/rust.nix

    export PATH="$CARGO_HOME/bin:$PATH"
  '';
}
#+END_SRC

** Node

Node.js[fn:14] is an open-source, cross-platform, back-end JavaScript runtime environment that runs on the V8 engine, and executes JavaScript code outside of a web browser. Node.js[fn:14] lets developers user JavaScript to write command line tools, and for server-side scripting to produce dynamic web page content.

Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/node.nix~.

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/node.nix
# <<file-warning>>

#+END_SRC

** C/C++

C[fn:16] is a general-purpose, procedural computer programming language support structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion. It has a static type system, and by design provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions. C++[fn:17] is a general-purpose programming language created as an extension of the C[fn:16] programming language.

Import this shell with ~nix-shell /etc/dotfiles/shells/cc.nix~.

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle shells/cc.nix

    llvmPackages.libcxx
  ];
  shellHook = ''
  '';
}
#+END_SRC

** Python

Python[fn:18] is an interpreted high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, with its notable use of significant indentation. Its language constructs, as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical, code for small and large projects.

  ];
  shellHook = ''
  '';
}
#+END_SRC

* Host Configurations

NixOS[fn:4] 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 nix
# Pre-configured wireless networks.
networking.wireless.networks.MyWiFi_5C1870.pskRaw =
  "409b3c85fef1c5737f284d2f82f20dc6023e41804e862d4fa26265ef8193b326";
#+END_SRC

** Default

The default host, built using QEMU[fn:19], a free and open-source emulator that can perform hardware virtualization. It features a lightweight system optimized for development, running GNU/Emacs[fn:2] + EXWM[fn:20] as the graphical environment.

#+NAME: host-default
#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes
nixos = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
  system = "x86_64-linux";
  specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
  modules = [

    <<module-x11>>
    <<module-xdg>>
    <<module-flakes>>
    <<module-cachix>>
    <<module-home-manager>>
  ];
};
#+END_SRC

Deploy this configuration with ~nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/dotfiles/#nixos~.

#+BEGIN_SRC nix :noweb yes :tangle hosts/nixos/default.nix

#+END_SRC

*** Configuration

This is a basic default configuration that specified the indended default configuration of the system. Because NixOS[fn:4] 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

Nix Flakes[fn:28] are an upcoming feature of the Nix package manager[fn:5]. 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[fn:28] 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[fn:28] are not available unless explicitly enabled.

Native Comp, also known as GccEmacs, refers to the ~--with-native-compilation~ configuration option when building GNU/Emacs[fn:2]. It adds support for compiling 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.

** Backup Files

Emacs[fn:2] 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.
