# NixOS Configs
Reproducible multi-host NixOS + Hyprland ("Silicon Volt") configuration.
## Install (new machine)
```bash
# Setup disks
nix run --experimental-features "nix-common flakes" github:nix-community/disko -- --mode disko --flake .#hades
# install configs
nixos-install --flake .#hades
# set password
nixos-enter --root /mnt -- passwd anish
```
## Rebuild (existing machine)
```bash
rebuild switch # zsh helper: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/NixOS-Configs#<host>
```
## Adding a new host (e.g. a laptop)
1. Create `hosts/<name>/` with `default.nix`, `hardware-configuration.nix`, and
(optionally) `disko.nix`; import the shared modules (`modules/core`,
`modules/graphical`, `modules/apps`).
2. Register it in `flake.nix` under `nixosConfigurations`.
3. Declare host-specific displays in `hosts/<name>/default.nix`:
```nix
home-manager.users.anish.volt.monitors = [
{
output = "eDP-1"; # or "desc:<panel description>"
mode = "2880x1800@120Hz"; # or "preferred"
position = "auto";
scale = 2;
vrr = null; # optional per-monitor VRR
}
{ output = ""; mode = "preferred"; position = "auto"; scale = "auto"; } # fallback
];
```
The `volt.monitors` default (any output @ preferred) keeps every machine working
out of the box; hosts override only what they need. Hosts without an NVIDIA GPU
simply don't import `modules/hardware/nvidia.nix` — all vendor env vars live there.
