* Systems

I have opted to use NixOS for my systems moving forward. You can read a bit more
about this move [[https://blog.gabrielsimmer.com/posts/from-guix-to-nixos][here]]. I haven't dabbled with custom configuration too much so
this is pretty close to the default configuration.

** London

   London is my primary desktop.

   Be sure to import the hardware configuration the Nix installer generates.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
# Tangled in ../Systems.org
{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
  imports =
    [
      ./hardware-configuration.nix
    ];
#+end_src

Bootloader is GRUB so I can dual boot Windows. =enableCryptodisk= is annoying but apparently neccesary.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  boot.loader.grub = {
    enable = true;
    version = 2;
    device = "nodev";
    useOSProber = true;
    efiSupport = true;
    enableCryptodisk = true;
    canTouchEfiVariables = true;
    efiSysMountPoint = "/boot/efi";
  };
#+end_src

Basic system stuff that I won't really touch by hand. Importantly, enabled nix flakes.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_0;

  # Setup keyfile
  boot.initrd.secrets = {
    "/crypto_keyfile.bin" = null;
  };

  # Enable swap on luks
  boot.initrd.luks.devices."luks-63100442-37df-4579-a787-cb2f2c67b3d1".device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/63100442-37df-4579-a787-cb2f2c67b3d1";
  boot.initrd.luks.devices."luks-63100442-37df-4579-a787-cb2f2c67b3d1".keyFile = "/crypto_keyfile.bin";

  nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

  time.timeZone = "Europe/London";
  i18n.defaultLocale = "en_GB.utf8";
#+end_src

Networking stuff. I use Tailscale as a mesh VPN, and Mullvad for "privacy".

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  networking.hostName = "LONDON"; # Define your hostname.
  # Enable networking
  networking.networkmanager.enable = true;
  systemd.services.NetworkManager-wait-online.enable = false;
  networking.firewall.checkReversePath = "loose";
 
  networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 3389 ]; # for RDP

  services.mullvad-vpn.enable = true;
  services.tailscale.enable = true;
#+end_src

Next, X11! I haven't quite made the switch to Wayland. Theoretically Plasma supports it but it doesn't seem to want to work. Long term I want to run Sway on an ultrawide. I also enable RDP in case I need to remote back into my desktop (if I can't use SSH for whatever reason). Also enable the nvidia drivers here.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  
  # Enable the X11 windowing system.
  services.xserver.enable = true;

  # Enable the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment.
  services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
  services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;

  services.xrdp.enable = true;
  services.xrdp.defaultWindowManager = "startplasma-x11";
  
  # Configure keymap in X11
  services.xserver = {
    layout = "us";
    xkbVariant = "";
  };

  
  # Allow unfree packages
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
  services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];
  hardware.opengl.enable = true;
#+end_src

Basic user setup. I use home-manager for my profile applications so just give me vim and that's it (I actually use emacs, but it doesn't hurt to have a fallback).

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  programs.zsh.enable = true;
  environment.shells = with pkgs; [ zsh ];
  users.users.gsimmer = {
    shell = pkgs.zsh;
    isNormalUser = true;
    description = "Gabriel Simmer";
    extraGroups = [ "networkmanager" "wheel" ];
    packages = with pkgs; [ vim ];
  };
#+end_src

Misc. utilities. Printing, sound, Docker, Steam, fonts. Why is Steam installed at a system level? I don't know. I think I got confused. This will be move to home-manager at some point.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/configuration.nix
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    os-prober
    tailscale
    cifs-utils
    pinentry-curses
  ];

  # Enable CUPS to print documents.
  services.printing.enable = true;

  # Enable sound with pipewire.
  sound.enable = true;
  hardware.pulseaudio.enable = false;
  security.rtkit.enable = true;
  services.pipewire = {
    enable = true;
    alsa.enable = true;
    alsa.support32Bit = true;
    pulse.enable = true;
    # If you want to use JACK applications, uncomment this
    #jack.enable = true;
  };

  virtualisation = {
    docker = {
      enable = true;
      rootless = {
        enable = true;
        setSocketVariable = true;
      };
    };
  };
  
  programs.dconf.enable = true;

  programs.steam = {
    enable = true;
    remotePlay.openFirewall = true;
    dedicatedServer.openFirewall = false;
  };

  fonts.fonts = with pkgs; [
    ibm-plex
    jetbrains-mono
  ];

  services.yubikey-agent.enable = true;
  services.pcscd.enable = true;

  # Some programs need SUID wrappers, can be configured further or are
  # started in user sessions.
  # programs.mtr.enable = true;
  programs.gnupg.agent = {
    enable = true;
    pinentryFlavor = "curses";
    enableSSHSupport = true;
  };
  
  system.stateVersion = "22.05";
}
#+end_src

Hardware configuration generated by the NixOS installer.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/hardware-configuration.nix
# Do not modify this file!  It was generated by ‘nixos-generate-config’
# and may be overwritten by future invocations.  Please make changes
# to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix instead.
{ config, lib, pkgs, modulesPath, ... }:

{
  imports =
    [ (modulesPath + "/installer/scan/not-detected.nix")
    ];

  boot.initrd.availableKernelModules = [ "nvme" "xhci_pci" "ahci" "usb_storage" "usbhid" "sd_mod" ];

** Raspberry Pis
/This section is deprecated, as my Pis now run Raspbian with k3s./

I have two Raspberry Pis - a 3B+ ("watcher"), and a 4 ("panda"). Watcher
serves as a watchdog for my self hosted services, usually living on Panda.

*** The Installer Image

Very minimal changes required here, only really need to enabled the SSH daemon and add my key so I can push the actual configuration.

I might investigate bundling the "real" configurations into the live installer image, so I have to run fewer commands.

    [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM#Getting_the_installer][More info on the NixOS Wiki]]
   
#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/image-configuration.nix
{ ... }: {
  imports = [
    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix>
  ];

  services.sshd.enable = true;
  services.ntp.enable = true;
  
  users.users.gsimmer = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    extraGroups = [ "wheel" ];
    password = "pass"; # This gets changed. Don't get any ideas.
    openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = ["ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILIztwQxt+jqroFONSgq+xzPMuE2I5Dq/zWPQ8RcTYJr gabriel@gitgalaxy.com"];
  };
}
#+end_src

*** Watcher

   Watcher is my Raspberry Pi 3B+ responsible for monitoring various
   services and devices on my network (and generally the wider web).
   It uses [[https://github.com/gmemstr/platypus][Platypus]] (my custom monitoring platform) for this, along
   with some cron jobs to curl the services themselves.

   Actually declaractive install of Platypus is TODO, once I have the
   next release tagged.
   
#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/watcher-configuration.nix
{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }: {

  boot.loader.grub.enable = false;
  boot.loader.generic-extlinux-compatible.enable = true;
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;

    
  services.sshd.enable = true;
  services.ntp.enable = true;
  
  users.users.gsimmer = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    extraGroups = [ "wheel" ];
    password = "pass"; # This gets changed. Don't get any ideas.
    openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = ["ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILIztwQxt+jqroFONSgq+xzPMuE2I5Dq/zWPQ8RcTYJr gabriel@gitgalaxy.com"];
  };
  
  environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.git pkgs.curl ];

  systemd.user.services.ensure-curlscript = {
    script = ''
      # At some point this will pull down a more complete script.
      echo "Done!"
    '';
    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
  };

  # Enable cron services
  services.cron = {
    enable = true;
    systemCronJobs = [
      "*/5 * * * *  gsimmer  curl -I -o /dev/null -w \"$(date)|\\%{http_code}\" https://pw.gmem.ca > /home/gsimmer/pw-status"
      "*/5 * * * *  gsimmer  curl -I -o /dev/null -w \"$(date)|\\%{http_code}\" https://hue.gmem.ca > /home/gsimmer/hue-status"
    ];
  };

  fileSystems = {
    "/" = {
      device = "/dev/disk/by-label/NIXOS_SD";
      fsType = "ext4";
    };
  };

  networking.firewall.enable = false;

}
#+end_src

*** Panda

   Panda is a general-purpose Raspberry Pi 4, responsible for hosting
   some network shares and my password manager (using [[https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden][Vaultwarden]]).

   Largely TODO, this currently runs Raspbian until I'm happy with my
   testbed.

#+begin_src nix :tangle nix/panda-configuration.nix
{ ... }: {
  imports = [
    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix>
  ];
  # put your own configuration here, for example ssh keys:
  users.extraUsers.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [
     "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILIztwQxt+jqroFONSgq+xzPMuE2I5Dq/zWPQ8RcTYJr gabriel@gitgalaxy.com"
  ];
}
