## NixOS System flakes

This is currently in heavy development. The goal is to create a reusable structure for Freelock infrastructure, to make recreating a host or building a new one a breeze.

## Creating a new host

Start with a bare NixOS install, sort out the hardware-specific needs (partitioning scheme - /boot, swap, /nix partitions, etc).

1. Clone this repository.
2. Create a directory under hosts for the host, based on the hostname.
3. Copy the hardware-configuration.nix into the new directory.
4. Copy a default.nix from a similar host into the new directory.
5. Edit to include the appropriate modules and any host-specific settings.
6. Add a stanza in the top-level flake.nix for the new host.
7. Commit changes and push to central repo.
8. Delete /etc/nixos and move this directory into place (for servers at least -- can symlink if user-managed).
9. `sudo nixos-rebuild switch`.
