So, you want to use my dots?#

Hey there! This guide supplements the README with additional details about using the installation scripts. I've tried to make installation as painless as possible. (mainly because i hate typing in commands manually with no autocomplete; yeah ik im not a "true" linux nerd but whatever lol)

The Automated Way (Recommended)#

Step 1: Get connected#

First, make sure you've got internet! (this is already covered in README.md so not duplicating here) Also don't forget to double check with ping 1.1.1.1

Step 2: Run the install script#

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taciturnaxolotl/dots/main/nixos/install.sh -o install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

This magic script will:

Make sure you're online
Enable git (required for the rest of this charade)
Partition your disks with disko
Clone my dots to the right place
Let you add your SSH key if you've got one
Install the flake
Send you off to reboot land

After the system reboots, login with user kierank and password lolzthisaintsecure!

(Please change this password immediately!)

Step 4: Run the post-install script#

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taciturnaxolotl/dots/main/nixos/post-install.sh -o post-install.sh
chmod +x post-install.sh
./post-install.sh

This script will walk you through:

Changing your password (if you haven't already)
Moving config files to your home directory
Setting up the fingerprint reader (optional)
Configuring git (optional)
Rebuilding the system with your hostname

Available System Configurations#

Currently, this repo has the following system configurations:

moonlark - My Framework laptop setup (default config)

You'll be asked which one you want during the installation.
