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:

qrencode -t ansiutf8 < <conf file>

Computers using NetworkManager like bulwark need to have conf file imported:

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:

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 to sync some of the large files (mostly roms) that I don't want to have fill copies on each machine. Current git-annex stores I have are:

• roms - ~/mnt/engi/media/roms from torus.
