## Deployment
This repository uses **untracked secrets**, so you must build the system locally before deploying.
### 1. Setup Secrets
1. `cp secrets/secrets.nix.example secrets/secrets.nix`
2. Fill in the values (generate random keys, etc).
- `openssl rand -base64 32` is a good way to make a new key
- `tailscaleKey` must be a **Reusable** key from the Tailscale admin console.
### 2. Verify Configuration Locally
Because `secrets/secrets.nix` is untracked by git, standard `nix flake check` will fail.
To build the server configuration locally and ensure there are no syntax or evaluation errors before pushing to the server, run:
```bash
nix build path:.#nixosConfigurations.extremist-software.config.system.build.toplevel --impure --dry-run
```
### 3. Initial Install (Wipe & Install)
Run this command to build and deploy. **Warning: Wipes the server disk.**
```bash
# Replace <TARGET_IP> with your server's IP
nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --store-paths \
$(nix build path:.#nixosConfigurations.extremist-software.config.system.build.diskoScript --impure --print-out-paths --no-link) \
$(nix build path:.#nixosConfigurations.extremist-software.config.system.build.toplevel --impure --print-out-paths --no-link) \
root@<TARGET_IP> | tee install.log
```
### 4. Update Existing Server (No Wipe)
Once the server is running NixOS, use the `nhs` script to push updates. This repository provides `nhs` and `nh` via `direnv` (loaded from `flake.nix` devShell), so just run `direnv allow` first.
```bash
# Update via Tailscale (uses nhs convenience script)
nhs
# Or manually via IP
nh os switch --hostname extremist-software --target-host root@<TARGET_IP> --impure path:.
```
repo uses `impure` build to load `secrets/secrets.nix` directly. no encrypted secrets in git.
