I have a quite specific system that I improved along the years to manage my
|
|
local environment.
|
|
Think about, binaries I expect to have in my shell, as well as
|
|
configuration files for various utilities, and a few personal scripts.
|
|
|
|
The notion of what is exactly my local environment is not perfectly defined.
|
|
I expect every of my computers to behave slightly differently.
|
|
Some are for work-only, some personal use only.
|
|
|
|
For the things I want everywhere, I have a peculiar personal system.
|
|
|
|
I use a personal script that depends on [[https://yadm.io][yadm]] and [[https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager][home-manager]].
|
|
|
|
My script try to check if some files where updated and react accordingly:
|
|
|
|
1. I download the dot-files changes via =yadm=.
|
|
2. If my home-manager files changes, it will run ~home-manager switch~
|
|
; if it fails, try to update nix channels then try again.
|
|
3. If my doom emacs packages changed, it will run ~doom sync~
|
|
4. If the script itself changed, it re-run the script after updating itself.
|
|
|
|
If the script detect that I changed my emacs configuration, it runs ~doom
|
|
sync~ or ~doom sync -u~.
|
|
|
|
Here it is:

** Bootstrapping
|
|
:PROPERTIES:

:CUSTOM_ID: boostraping

|
|

|
Bootstrapping this system is always a nice problem to think about.
|
|
It is smooth when everything is set but to bootstrap it I need binaries
|
|
installed by this system...
|
|
So...
|
|
How to handle the dependency cycle correctly?
|
|
|
|
To minimize the pain, I removed more and more bootstrapping dependencies.
|
|
Now my almost single dependence for bootstrapping my environment is =nix=.
|
|
I haven't initialized any machine for a long time now.
|
|
The following should work.
|
|
|
|
0. Use fish[fn:fish] ~chsh /bin/fish~
|
|
1. Install nix ~curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh~
|
|
2. Install home-manager
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-21.05.tar.gz home-manager
|
|
nix-channel --update
|
|
export NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels${NIX_PATH:+:}$NIX_PATH
|
|
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
3. Install and use ~yadm~
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
nix-shell -p yadm
|
|
yadm boostrap
|
|
yadm remote set-url origin <url-to-my-dot-files-repo>
|
|
yadm pull
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
4. Still in the =nix-shell= with =yadm= run ~~/bin/sync-env.sh~
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a risk that step 3 fail because I pin most of my packages in
|
|
home-manager configuration, and it will try to install =yadm=. This can
|
|
conflict with the =yadm= installed in the current =nix-shell=.
|
|
So sometime I need to:
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the line installing =yadm= in my home-manager configuration first
|
|
2. run =home-manager sync=
|
|
3. get out of the =nix-shell=,
|
|
4. add =yadm= back in the =home-manager= config
|
|
5. run =home-manager sync= again, but this time out of the =nix-shell=.
|
|
6. Finally I can run my =~/bin/sync-env.sh= command.
|
|
|
|
So this post will probably be useful as a personal note in the future.
|
|
Because bootstrapping is generally not trivial.
|
|
I will probably update this post if something is missing.
|
|
|
|
[fn:fish] I use fish for interactive shell. I use ~zsh~ for quick dirty
|
|
scripts (a lot better than bash), and I switch to [[https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle][turtle]] if I need to be
|
|
serious about the script.
