# Additional Setup
The following documents some NixOS setup that wasn't automated.
2024-01-14 23:25:30 -08:00
## Encryption Keys
### Github SSH
Keys for SSH aren't automatically placed with chezmoi `secret` since it complicated
things to much. The key for github SSH must be transferred manually from Bitwarden
or `/run/secrets/keys/github_personal` to `~/.ssh/keys/github_personal` .
### Sops-nix
2023-12-31 00:10:08 -08:00
Encrypted keys for various aspects of the config are stored in `./secrets/secrets.yaml`
to the required key for decryption must be placed at `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt` .

## Wireguard Client
2023-07-23 14:34:39 -07:00
2023-10-08 21:45:28 -07:00
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
2023-07-23 14:34:39 -07:00
2023-10-08 21:45:28 -07:00
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 >
```

## Git-annex
2023-07-23 14:34:39 -07:00
2023-09-03 12:04:58 -07:00
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` .
2023-10-09 22:31:59 -07:00
## 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
```

## Chromium
The vast majority of Chromium is setup with [browser.nix ](./modules/desktop/browser.nix )
including installing plugins and various settings. However, setup for [vimium ](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb )
and [New Tab Redirect ](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/new-tab-redirect/icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna )
could not be fully automated.
- Upon launch New Tab Redirect should prompt to set the new tab page.
2023-12-02 17:30:21 -08:00
Set to `http://localhost:8080` .
2023-11-22 00:56:06 -08:00
- Vimium config is saved in chezmoi. Open the vimium [plugin page ](chrome-extension://dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb/pages/options.html )
and restore config from `~/.config/vimium-options.json` .

## Steam
Some games/emulators (in my case Ares) don't fullscreen nicely in window managers.
In that case add something alongs the lines of the following
launch command to run them within gamescope.
```bash
gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f %command%
```
