Live Disk Setup!

It is easiest to setup SSH on then use a second machine to monitor!

sudo systemctl start sshd
sudo passwd nixos

Connect on the second machine!

ssh nixos@<IP-ADDRESS>

Note

Identify your target disk using lsblk (e.g. /dev/nvme0n1), and run:

sudo mount -o remount,size=28G /nix/.rw-store
sudo mount -o remount,size=28G /

sudo NIX_CONFIG="extra-experimental-features = nix-command flakes pipe-operators" \
  nix run github:nix-community/disko/latest#disko-install -- \
  --write-efi-boot-entries \
  --flake github:ViSovereign/nixos-config/disko#frameworkboot \
  --disk main /dev/nvme0n1

No errors? reboot and log in! Connect to wifi with nmtui

git clone -b disko https://github.com/ViSovereign/nixos-config.git ~/Projects/nixos-config
cd ~/Projects/nixos-config
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#framework
