# Server nixos configuration
This is the configuration running on my homebrew server.
It is perfect in and no other config is in any way shape or form better.
# Features
- Forgejo git instance
- Vaultwarden password manager
- Jellyfin media server
- Sonnar, Radarr, Jackett and transmission auto-torrenting setup in declarative [astro/microvm](https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix) virtual machine behind a VPN.
- ZFS RaidZ (Raid5) for data resilience with automated emails for failed drives
- Self-hosted mail server for sending emails
- Simple file structure for easy extension
# How to Install
## Prepare device
Install the [nixos boot ISO](https://nixos.org/download/) and run it on your device.
Once booted run
```sh
$ sudo passwd
$ ip a
```
to set a password for the `nix` user and display your ip.
Once done you can ssh into the device and generate a nix hardware config with
```sh
$ ssh nix@<ip>
$ sudo mkdir /mnt
$ sudo nixos-generate-config --root /mnt --no-filesystem
```
This will generate the file `/mnt/hardware-config.nix` that you can then copy to your
computer.
## Install configuration
### Prepare repo
1. Clone the repo
1. Copy the `hardware-config.nix` from your device to the repo folder.
1. Add/change the device configuration in `flake.nix`
### Install remotely
Run the command
```sh
nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake '.#<your configuration>' --target-host nixos@<ip>
```
This will automatically install the configuration to your server.
## Copy configuration to server
Once the configuration has been installed push your modified repo to a git service and pull it on the server.
