.dotfiles

This repository contains my personal dotfiles, which are tailored to set up my preferred development environment. These configurations simplify the setup process for both Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux systems, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

Windows Configuration

Follow these steps to set up your Windows environment:

1. Prepare a Windows Bootable USB Drive

1. Create a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation ISO.
2. Place the autounattended.xml file located in the windows/ directory of this repository at the root of the USB drive.

2. Install Windows

1. Disconnect your system from the internet.
2. Boot from the USB drive and proceed with the Windows installation.
   • The installation process will start automatically using the autounattended.xml file.

3. Update Windows

1. Once Windows is installed, connect to the internet.
2. Install all available Windows updates and Microsoft Store updates.
3. Reboot your system after updates are complete.

4. Run Setup Script

1. Open a terminal with administrator privileges.

2. Run the following commands

   $url = "https://github.com/raxl8/.dotfiles/archive/refs/heads/main.zip"
   $downloadsPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads"
   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile "$downloadsPath\dotfiles.zip"
   Expand-Archive -LiteralPath "$downloadsPath\dotfiles.zip" -DestinationPath "$downloadsPath"
   Set-Location "$downloadsPath\.dotfiles-main"
   powershell -EP Bypass -NoP .\setup.ps1

Follow any prompts or instructions provided by the setup script. Once complete, your Windows environment will be fully configured.

WSL Configuration

Follow these steps to set up WSL with NixOS and the dotfiles:

1. Open a terminal.

2. Run:

   wsl -d NixOS --user root

3. Inside WSL, update Nix and set up the environment:

   nix-channel --update
   cd
   nix-shell -p git

4. Setup SSH keys

   • Can't really help with that

5. Inside the nix-shell, clone the dotfiles repository:

   git clone [email protected]:raxl8/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

6. Apply the NixOS configuration:

   nixos-rebuild --flake ~/.dotfiles#wsl boot

7. Exit the environment:

   exit
   exit

This will exit the `nix-shell` and then WSL.

8. Back in the Windows terminal:

   wsl -t NixOS
   wsl -d NixOS --user root exit
   wsl -t NixOS

9. Re-enter WSL using:

   wsl -d NixOS

10. Move over SSH keys from root user

sudo mv /root/.ssh $"($env.HOME)/.ssh"
sudo chown -R $"($env.USER):users" $"($env.HOME)/.ssh"

11. Create git directory and move over dotfiles repository

mkdir git
sudo mv /root/.dotfiles $"($env.HOME)/git/.dotfiles"
sudo chown -R $"($env.USER):users" $"($env.HOME)/git/.dotfiles"

Your WSL setup should now be ready to use.
