# Additional Setup

The following documents some NixOS setup that wasn't automated.

## Wireguard Client

|
|
Wireguard is nice for a home vpn. NixOS setus up all of the configurations for
|
|
|
|
|
peers automatically on `torus`. Public keys, private keys, and config files are
|
|
|
|
|
generated and stored in `~/.wireguard`. Some machines like `kestrel` setup the
|
|
|
|
|
vpn automatically within `configuration.nix`. However, others require a small
|
|
|
|
|
amount of manual setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cell phones like `adjudicator` are added with a generated QR code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-07-23 14:34:39 -07:00
|
|
|
```bash
|
2023-10-08 21:45:28 -07:00
|
|
|
qrencode -t ansiutf8 < <conf file>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Computers using NetworkManager like `bulwark` need to have conf file imported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
nmcli connection import type wireguard file <conf file>
|

|
|
|
```

## Mount network drives

I find fstab messing about more trobule than it is worth. Credentials need to be
|
|
|
|
|
manually created in `~/.smb`. To mount network drives when needed with the
|
|
|
|
|
following command:
|
2023-07-23 14:34:39 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
linux-mount-<network drive name>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Syncthing

|
|
|
Syncthing is used to sync folders between various computers. The service is
|
|
|
|
|
automatically installed and started with NixOS, but shares currently must be
|
|
|
|
|
setup with the web gui.

## Git-annex

|
|
|
I use [git-annex](https://git-annex.branchable.com/walkthrough/) to sync some
|
|
|
|
|
of the large files (mostly roms) that I don't want to have fill copies on each
|
2023-10-08 21:45:28 -07:00
|
|
|
machine. Current git-annex stores I have are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `roms` - `~/mnt/engi/media/roms` from `torus`.

## Cadquery and Simplify3d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cadquery and Simplify3d don't play nice with non-FHS filesystems (and Simplify3d
|
|
|
|
|
is proprietary). I run these programs within distrobox. Some notes about using
|
|
|
|
|
distrobox for these programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If arch-box isn't created, create it and apply chezmoi dot files to secondary
|
|
|
|
|
home directory:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
distrobox create --image archlinux --name arch-box --home ~/box/arch
|
|
|
|
|
chezmoi apply -D ~/home/arch
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then enter the box and run script to install cadquery and dependencies for
|
|
|
|
|
Simplify3d:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
distrobox enter arch-box
|
|
|
|
|
cd && ./bin/arch-install-cad
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the script suggest then download and install Simplify3d from the script on the
|
|
|
|
|
[website](https://www.simplify3d.com/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The applications can be run within the box with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# Simplify3d
|
|
|
|
|
/opt/Simplify3D-5.1.2/LaunchScript.sh
|
|
|
|
|
# CQ-editor
|
|
|
|
|
cd ~/cq-editor && ./run.sh
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
