My NixOS configuration files.

The canonical location for this repository is https://git.qenya.tel/qenya/nixfiles. If you're viewing it elsewhere, it is a mirror and may not be up-to-date.

## Machines

* `tohru`: Dell Latitude 5300, personal laptop
* `yevaud`: Oracle Cloud free AMD VM, hosts a Forgejo instance

## Usage

### Building

To build locally, run `colmena apply-local` as root.

To build the remote machines, run `colmena apply`. See the [colmena documentation](https://colmena.cli.rs/) for command-line options. Notable options include:
* `--on [hostname]`: build a specific machine only
* `--reboot`: reboot after building (but note [this bug](https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/166) means it may hang even when the reboot completes successfully)

### Updating

Run `npins update` to update the dependencies within the currently selected upgrade channels.

To upgrade to a new major version of a dependency, simply re-add it and the old version will be overwritten, e.g.:

```sh
npins add --name nixpkgs channel nixos-unstable
```

In either case, commit the changes to `npins/sources.json`.

See the [npins documentation](https://github.com/andir/npins) for more details.
