dotfiles

Nix-managed configuration for macOS, NixOS, and Red Hat.

NixOS

1. Clone this repo (have to use nix-shell because nix doesn't ship with git):

   nix-shell -p git
   git clone https://github.com/json-bateman/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
   

2. Apply the configuration:

   sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nix#basement
   

This configures both the system and the user environment (via home-manager) in one command.

For more information look at new-webserver-setup.md

MacOS - Initial Install

1. Download Homebrew (find on homebrew website)
2. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/json-bateman/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
   

3. Run the bootstrap script

   bash ~/dotfiles/bootstrap-mac.sh
   

Installs Homebrew, Nix, and applies home-manager. GUI apps (WezTerm, Spotify, Chrome, Telegram, Docker) are installed via Homebrew Cask.

Red Hat - Initial Install

sudo bash ~/dotfiles/bootstrap-redhat.sh

Sets up the system (packages, user, SSH hardening, mDNS), then prints next steps to install Nix and apply home-manager as your user.
