Athena Nix currently provides several configurations (still in test):
- runtime
A configuration can be deployed in several ways:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake 'github:Athena-OS/athena-nix#runtime' --impure
Running command inside athena-nix directory:
git clone https://github.com/Athena-OS/athena-nix
cd athena-nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '.#runtime' --impure
Running command outside athena-nix directory:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake '<local-path-to-dir-containing-flake.nix>/.#runtime' --impure
--impure is used because the deployment can be applied according to your hardware-configuration.nix.
git clone https://github.com/Athena-OS/athena-nix
cd athena-nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=nixos/configuration.nix
The default user and password in the configuration is athena:athena. Be sure to change user and password inside athena-nix/flake.nix file by editing username and hashed (or hashedRoot for your root account) attributes according to your needs when you deploy this configuration.
Passwords must be set as hash (i.e., SHA-512) instead of cleartext. To create it in a secure way run:
nix-shell -p openssl
openssl passwd -6 yourpassword
Finally, paste the generated hash in hashed or hashedRoot inside flake.nix.
The usage of nix-shell is important to create the password in an ephimeral environment, in order to not keep the command history stored in the system.
