Evie Litherland-Smith 94c6d717b0 Use libsecret for mbsync and git-credential-helper 
Add gnome-keyring as libsecret backend, swap git-credential-helper and
mbsync to using libsecret/secret-tool. Add helper script to check for
and request mbsync passwords if missing. Add GNOME Seahorse for
viewing passwords graphically.

Remove email/work.nix and merge back into default.nix

Don't auto start protonmail-bridge, use the GUI instead so it doesn't
need to unlock all my keychains immediately

Move 3D modelling software to Vanguard only, instead of all personal
devices.

Move waybar back to top of screen and adjust all corner radii to 5px
from 10px

Re-enable swayfx blur_ignore_transparent now that it's added to
nixpkgs, re-enable shadows

README

My personal NixOS + home-manager configuration files.

To set up without cloning the repository (assuming an already running NixOS system), run:

  sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake "git+https://git.xenia.me.uk/pixelifytica/nixos.git?ref=main"\#$(hostname)

Password store setup

Transfer GPG key(s) 

  # Export keys on existing machine
  gpg -a --export > publickeys.asc
  gpg -a --export-secret-keys > privatekeys.asc
  # Import key on new machine
  gpg --import privatekeys.asc; gpg --import publickeys.asc
  # Edit (for each key) to set trust
  gpg --edit-key evie@xenia.me.uk

Clone password-store repository 

  git clone https://git.xenia.me.uk/pixelifytica/pass $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR

Email setup

Passwords for mbsync

Run 

mbsync-ensure-pass
to check for passwords required by mbsync, and query for missing passwords.

Static app-specific passwords are stored in password-store, fetch from there to add to secret service.

Proton

Bridge

Start Proton Mail Bridge application, if needed configure to store using SecretService and log in. Application will auto-start with desktop session.

Use password from Bridge for mbsync.

Outlook

Davmail

Run 

davmail-setup
to automate this process.

On first run (or if token expires), stop systemd service and run manually to complete manual auth. Token will stay valid for a little while (no idea how long specifically).

  # Restart service to ensure ~/.davmail.properties exists
  systemctl --user restart davmail.service
  # Run to use manual authentication
  systemctl --user stop davmail.service && davmail -notray ~/.davmail.properties
  # Restart again so that service picks up available ports
  systemctl --user restart davmail.service

Flathub setup 

  flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
