Additional Setup

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

Wireguard Client

Wireguard is nice for a home vpn and pivpn makes it easy. Currently my scripts for controlling (and visualizing the state of the vpn) assume the connection name for the vpn is the same as the hostname of the system. This may need to be modified in the future if I end up needing multiple vpn connections.

  1. Create client on server and copy resulting .conf file to local machine
  2. Import to networkmanager with:
nmcli connection import type wireguard file <conf file from pivpn>
  1. Use nm-connection-editor to disable automatic connection
  2. Connect to vpn with `nmcli connection up

Mount network drives

I find fstab messing about more trobule than it is worth. Credentials are stored in ~/.smb. Mount network drives when needed with the following command:

linux-mount-<network drive name>

Syncthing

Syncthing is used to sync folders between various computers and android. The ansible script should setup and run the service, but shares must be setup via the web gui. Currently four shares exists:

  • .warrior - .task and .timewarrior folders to sync taskwarrior tasks. These two folders are symlinked to the home folder where taskwarrior/timewarrior expects them.
  • warrior - contains text files associated with taskwarrior (mostly from taskopen).
  • vimwiki - contains text files associate with my personal vimwiki.

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.

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