macOS Setup (via NixOs)

This repo contains my NixOS configuration to setup my macOS machines using NixOs with Nix Darwin, Nix Homebrew and Home Manager.

This configuration is based on @ironicbadger configuration that is explain on this video.

Thanks @ironicbadger 🙏!

➕ What is included?

Running this configuration, you will have:

• My shell setup (for now only with ZSH), with plugins, alias, etc.;
• Homebrew and casks/formulaes;
• FNM for Node.js version manager;
• Change most of my macOS settings, like:
  • Setup my dock;
  • Change networking settings to include Google DNS;
  • Use touch id for sudo commands on terminal;
  • Set timezone;
  • ...

▶️ How to run

1. Install NixOS: sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install);

• Check if NixOS is working (in a new terminal) running nix-shell -p neofetch --run neofetch.

2. Build the configuration using: nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' build ".#darwinConfigurations.<host>.system";
   • Don't forget to replace <host> with one of the available hosts:
     • macbook for my person machine configuration;
     • mindera for my working machine - ⚠️ IN PROGRESS;
3. Run one of the commands above to apply the configuration:
   • ./result/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild switch --flake ".#<host>"
   • nix run nix-darwin/master#darwin-rebuild -- switch --flake ".#<host>"
   • Don't forget to replace <host> with one of the available hosts (details above).

To turn the second an the third step easier, I added a shell file (nix.sh) where is only necessary to run sh nix.sh <host> after install NixOS.

Notes:

I didn't find a way of install a few VSCode extensions and configure Hyper terminal. So for that, run sh post-nix.sh to copy the .hyper.js configuration and install the missing VSCode extensions.

📃 Roadmap

• Prepare my configuration to work with Linux machines;
• Finish my working machine configuration;
• Cleanup configurations and reorganize a few parts;
• Add the possibility of choose which shell I want to use:
  • Fish;
  • ZSH.
