minmos NixOS Dotfiles

Minimal NixOS and Home Manager configuration using Nix Flakes.

Bootstrapping a New Machine

To apply the configuration on a new NixOS system before Flakes are permanently enabled:

sudo NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes" nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#vm

System Update

Once the configuration is active, you can rebuild and update using the custom update script:

sys-update

System Maintenance

Periodically garbage collect both the system and Home Manager profiles, refresh bootloader entries, and optimise the store:

sys-maintenance

This keeps 14 days of generations for rollback. Use --all to delete every old generation, --keep-days N to change the retention period, or --verify to also run a slow SHA-256 integrity check of the store.
