home-manager configuration

This is my personal configuration for home-manager.

First steps on nix world, I'm currently just using home-manager to install utilities I need day by day.

I'm using direnv and nix develop or devbox to manage my development environments.

Dotfiles and secrets are sops-encryted and stored in a private repository.

How to bootstrap a new host

1. Install nix and home-manager (depends on target OS)
2. Clone this repository
3. Run nix develop enter a development environment
4. Generate age key for this host age-keygen -o ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt
5. Add the public key to sops config of the private repository and re-encrypt everything/prepare the secrets for this host
6. Run gh auth login to authenticate with GitHub and create a private key for the host
7. Create a file ~/hosts/$(hostname).nix with the following content:

   { config, pkgs, username, homeDirectory, sops, lib, ... }@inputs:
   {
     # common configurations, if you don't want to use them, remove the import but you'll need to 
     # define at least the following:
     # # home = {
     # #   inherit username homeDirectory;
       
     # #   keyboard.layout = "it";
     # #   stateVersion = "23.11";
     # # }
     imports = [
       ./common.nix
     ];
   }

8. Run home-manager (nh home build) to verify the configuration
9. If everything is ok, run nh home switch . to apply the configuration

Keep it update

nix flake update
nh home build .

# If there are no errors
nh home switch .
