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
