An attempt at replacing all my (Ansible) scripts and misc configuration with Nix configuration.
The nix branch will slowly build Nix config and remove corresponding legacy stuff,
although neither will be fully working before a while.

Dropped support

  • Other package managers:
    Long gone are the days where I only had very little space and no proot support on a Debian,
    forcing me to create an overlay system in my home directoy.
    Nix can be installed even more anywhere than Arch, so let's just go for one single thing.
    We keep support for home install though.
    Maybe bsh will need its own config, but generation has been broken for years and I didn't complain, soo...

  • Termux API & root:
    Nix on Termux can be achieved with https://github.com/nix-community/nix-on-droid,
    however this doesn't seem to include tsu and termux-api.
    Oh well, I stopped doing ceazy things with that anyways.
    Maybe if I need to I could find an alternative.

  • ecryptfs:
    Orignally added because I was too lazy to reinstall the Manjaro shipped with my Pinebook.
    Since this will require a reinstall, no reason to not go FDE as well.
    Except maybe for boot speed, as I use it for on-call.

TODO

  • Learn about Nix / NixOS, see what could be worth replacing
  • Set up a minimal test environment to try NixOS
  • Convert as much legacy stuff as easily possible into Nix stuff
  • Test config on a test user on curacao (still under Arch)
  • Test config on a test user without /nix or root access (still under Arch)
  • Test config on a SD-card boot on pindakaas
  • Test config on a USB-boot on curacao
  • Convert remaining legacy stuff in private dotfiles extensions
  • Fix home-manager FIXME
  • Fix NixOS FIXME
  • Fix extensions FIXME
  • Automatic installation of dotfiles repositories on NixOS install
  • Re-test GRUB encryption on pindakaas
  • Test curcao on intensive graphical program
  • Proper testing of test configs
  • Migrate pindakaas
  • Migrate curacao
  • Migrate gho
  • Test Android
  • Have fun modifying the config

The options I use already seems to be default in NixOS.
I'm not sure about the backlight and the joystick,
keeping this around until I can confirm this is not needed.

It's, uh, a bit ugly.
But let's try to make it work for now, improve later.
Apparently my wpa_supplicant config file was visible for everyone
already, so that's not a regression :D

Also I was thinking of getting rid of bash but... I spent so much time
differentiating which options are for sh/bash/zsh that I don't feel like
losing this data for now.

Might need the same for HM config?
So that explains why quick-scope didn't work so far... but not why it
built without it.
The idea to create an image burnable on a SD card that is already
configured is a nice one, however I encountered many issues:

- Used something that was designed to be an installer:
    - Cannot change from unencrypted ext4 partition (AFAICS)
    - Comes with installer tools (i.e. tools for various filesystems),
      which creates conflicts
- Takes a lot of space and time to build, had to put /tmp on a non-tmpfs
- Has to extend the filesystem manually afterwards
- I think it rebuilt the full system on nixos-rebuilt anyways. Maybe
  because I used binfmt compilation? Could also be because installer has
  some overlays.

Since I had nix on Manjaro already, I surely could have built the
system directly on the SD card from there. Maybe that's what I will do
to test the partitionning/boot scheme setup actually.
They're a bit slower to start :(.
Hopefully this is something that flakes will help with,
otherwise I'll find another way.
Which means now I'll have to think about real prefixes in commit names.

This was a fix attempt before I discovered that the issue was that
nixos-install uses the root user's channels. Doesn't hurt anyways.

While I might still bikeshed how the rest of the configuration is
sourced, at least the import points should be stable.
It took 3 days to investigate by myself and only get a partial idea of
the issue, but 5 minutes to ask for support and another 5 to get a
working solution.
Hopefully lesson learned.

Also "allows" full-system build without install.
No change needed!

And remove weird path contraptions
Back to the non-descriptive commit names again lol
So they can be added from extensions
