# birdsong
A private WireGuard VPN.
## Connecting a new host
1. Generate a new WireGuard keypair with the `wg` binary (packaged on many distros as `wireguard-tools`.) [There are instructions on the Arch wiki.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard#Key_generation)
2. Add the host to `hosts.nix`, being sure to read the documentation carefully.
3. For a NixOS host:
1. Install the NixOS module as described below.
2. Enable the `birdsong` service in your NixOS configuration:
```nix
birdsong.peering = {
enable = true;
privateKeyFile = /path/to/wireguard/private.key;
# This is the bare minimum - check peering.nix for other options.
# In particular, quick fix for issues with NAT or dynamic public IPs:
# persistentKeepalive = 23
};
```
4. For a non-NixOS host:
1. TODO
## Installing the NixOS module
### With plain Nix fetching
```nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports = [
# ...
(let
birdsong = fetchgit {
url = "https://git.qenya.tel/qenya/birdsong";
hash = "sha256-pPrREPA7kJdfMXk0hJLbq6UGOiq+KtJo1LR4vC69vxM=";
rev = "04e5519bf363388debfafc31285851c7816d087a";
# This shows an example commit ID; update to the most recent and
# recalculate the hash
};
in import "${birdsong}/module.nix"
)
];
}
```
### With [npins](https://github.com/andir/npins)
```sh
$ npins add --name birdsong git --branch main "https://git.qenya.tel/qenya/birdsong.git"
```
```nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
let sources = import ./npins;
in {
imports = [
# ...
(import "${sources.birdsong}/module.nix")
];
}
```
### With flakes
```nix
{
inputs.birdsong.url = "git+https://git.qenya.tel/qenya/birdsong?ref=main"
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, birdsong, ... }: {
# Tweak as appropriate for your hostname, platform, architecture etc.
nixosConfigurations.your-box = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux"
modules = [
# ...
birdsong.nixosModules.default
];
};
};
}
```
