/* # Example Host Configuration Just to provide an example of what a host configuration using this set of libraries can look like. ## Installation To install the system to a (set of) virtual machine disk images, with `$hostname` as any of the `instances` below, run in `..`: ```bash nix run .'#'$hostname -- install-system /tmp/$hostname/ ``` Then to boot the system in a qemu VM with KVM: ```bash nix run .'#'$hostname -- run-qemu /tmp/$hostname/ ``` See `nix run .#$hostname -- --help` for options and more commands. ## Implementation ```nix #*/# end of MarkDown, beginning of NixOS config flake input: dirname: inputs: { config, pkgs, lib, name, ... }: let lib = inputs.self.lib.__internal__; in let #suffix = builtins.head (builtins.match ''example-(.*)'' name); # make differences in config based on this when using »preface.instances« hash = builtins.substring 0 8 (builtins.hashString "sha256" name); in { preface = { # (any »preface« options have to be defined here) instances = [ "example-explicit" "example" "example-minimal" "example-raidz" ]; # Generate multiple variants of this host, with these »name«s. }; imports = [ ({ ## Hardware nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "x86_64-linux"; system.stateVersion = "22.05"; ## What follows is a whole bunch of boilerplate-ish stuff, most of which multiple hosts would have in common and which would thus be moved to one or more modules: boot.loader.extlinux.enable = true; # Example of adding and/or overwriting setup/maintenance functions: #installer.scripts.install-overwrite = { path = ../example/install.sh.md; order = 1500; }; }) (lib.mkIf (name == "example-explicit") { ## Minimal explicit FS setup # Declare a boot and system partition. setup.disks.partitions."boot-${hash}" = { type = "ef00"; size = "64M"; index = 1; order = 1500; }; setup.disks.partitions."system-${hash}" = { type = "8300"; size = null; order = 500; }; # Though not required for EFI, make the boot part visible to boot loaders supporting only MBR. setup.disks.devices = { primary = { mbrParts = "1"; extraFDiskCommands = '' t;1;c # set type ; part1 ; W95 FAT32 (LBA) a;1 # set as active/bootable ; part1 ''; }; }; setup.bootpart.enable = false; # (enabled by the bootloader) # Put everything except for /boot and /nix/store on a tmpfs.
