Step 1: Disk partitionnement
# Partition table parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mklabel gpt # Boot partition parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 512MB parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- set 1 esp on # Root partition, # Replace <RAM_SIZE> with the size of the machine's RAM parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart primary 512MB -<RAM_SIZE>GB # Swap partition # Replace <RAM_SIZE> with the size of the machine's RAM parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart primary linux-swap -<RAM_SIZE>GB 100%

Step 2: Disk encryption
# Encrypt and open root partition cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p2 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 cryptroot -
Step 3: Formatting
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/nvme0n1p1 mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/mapper/cryptroot mkswap -L swap /dev/nvme0n1p3
-
Step 4: Mount partition
# Mount root partition to /mnt mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt # Mount boot fs on /mnt/boot/efi mkdir -p /mnt/boot mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot #Enable swap swapon /dev/nvme0n1p3
-
Step 5: Clone configuration
# Git nix-env -iA nixos.git # Clone this repositry into /etc/nixos mkdir -p /mnt/etc/nixos cd /mnt/etc/nixos git clone https://github.com/BriceMichalski/nixos . # Chose the host to install ./setup.sh heisenberg # Update hardware-configuration.nix nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --dir machines/local

Step 6: Install Nixos
