My NixOS configuration(s)
Its dirty, but I'm learning.
To get bridged networking to work:
$ sudo ip link add name br0 type bridge
$ sudo ip link set dev br0 up
$ sudo ip link set eth0 master br0
$ sudo chmod 666 /dev/net/tun
$ sudo chown root:myoung /dev/net/tun
then use br0 as the bridge device
1: download the latest nixos-wsl.tar.gz from here
2: import wsl --import NixOS $env:USERPROFILE\NixOS\ .\nixos-wsl.tar.gz
3: get in: wsl -d NixOS
4: Update everything to make a working nixos-rebuild starting place:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
imports = [
# include NixOS-WSL modules
<nixos-wsl/modules>
];
wsl.enable = true;
wsl.defaultUser = "myoung"; # Replace with your desired user
wsl.wslConf.network.hostname = "desktop-wsl"; # Replace with your hostname
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
vim # my basic editor
git # needed for pulling the repo, etc
];
system.stateVersion = "24.05";
}
EOF
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.05 nixos
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild boot
exit
5: Reboot and make sure youre the default user from wsl.defaultUser. Note: you may need to do this twice for whatever reason (but only this one time to set up for flakes)
wsl -t NixOS
wsl --shutdown NixOS
wsl -d NixOS
$ whoami; hostname # should return what you configured in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`
6: Clone this repo down and you're good to go!
cd ~
mkdir -p repos/github
git clone https://github.com/myoung34/nix
cd ~/repos/github/nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#desktop-wsl
chezmoi init https://github.com/myoung34/dotfiles
