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/romsfromtorus.
