Welcome to NixBook, a repository where I share my NixOS and home-manager configuration files for my EliteBook 865 G10.
- Tmpfs as root & home: Automatically erases the root (
/
) and home (/home
) on each boot, ensuring a clean state. Persistent data is managed by the Impermanence module (See tmpfs as root and tmpfs as home for more details). - Encrypted single Btrfs partition: LUKS enhances security by adding password protection to the disk. Btrfs also supports easy snapshot backups.
- Declarative disk partitioning: eliminates the need for manual partitioning, mounting, and unmounting during the installation phase
- Efficient Desktop Environment: Optimized for productivity with minimal distractions, featuring only essential visual elements. It supports an automatic switch between light and dark themes.

To install the Nixbook configurations on your system, start by booting your computer with a LiveCD. Once you have successfully booted into the LiveCD environment, open a terminal and enter:
git clone https://github.com/cu1ch3n/nixbook
cd nixbook/script
chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not me and your hardware is not EliteBook 865 G10, please avoid using ./install.sh
directly. Instead, consider adapting the configurations to suit your own hardware and needs. You'll likely need to make adjustments in several very personal places:
scripts/disko.nix
: Update the disk device, partitions, and the path to password files.nixos/hardware.nix
: Generate an initial hardware configuration withnixos-generate-config
and carefully replace the settings accordingly.nixos/user.nix
: Replace the username if it's not "Chen."nixos/secrets.nix
: Replace the username.home-manager/home.nix
: Replace the username.home-manager/dotfiles/default.nix
: Comment out the configuration unless you're using the same monitor setup.home-manager/programs/git.nix
: Update your Git settings as needed.
After the installation, there are a few settings that need to be configured manually. These settings are not managed declaratively through NixOS:
- Set user fingerprint
- 1Password SSH & CLI integration
just rebuild
just update
