## how to deploy the initial config
- Don't forget to install the bootloader, if you changed it since `nixos-install`
- The fresh install has no flakes and no git yet, a temporary shell is enough
- If the installer iso is older than the flake's nixpkgs, `--no-reexec` keeps
`nixos-rebuild` from re-executing a newer version of itself, which can fail
against the older systemd of the fresh install (only needed once)
- Set a password for the user before rebooting, `users.nix` doesn't set one
```bash
$ export NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes"
$ nix-shell -p git
$ sudo nixos-rebuild --install-bootloader boot --flake .#host_name --no-reexec
$ sudo passwd aaron
$ sudo nixos-rebuild --install-bootloader switch --flake .#host_name
```
## how to enable secure boot
Secure Boot uses lanzaboote with our own keys, see `modules/nixos/lanzaboote.nix`.
Do this after the initial config is deployed and boots.
1. create the keys, before the first rebuild with the lanzaboote module
```bash
# the keys end up in /var/lib/sbctl, they never leave the host
$ sudo nix run nixpkgs#sbctl -- create-keys
```
2. import `modules/nixos/lanzaboote.nix` in the host's `configuration.nix`, rebuild and check the signatures
```bash
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#host_name
# EFI/Linux/*.efi and the bootloader must be signed, kernels in EFI/nixos
# are not, lanzaboote checks them by hash
$ sudo sbctl verify
```
3. reboot once with Secure Boot still disabled, to make sure the new entries boot
4. in the firmware (F2), erase all Secure Boot keys, then boot nixos again
```bash
# "Setup Mode: ✗ Enabled", the ✗ only means the state is insecure
$ sudo sbctl status
```
5. enroll the keys
```bash
# only our own keys, no microsoft keys
$ sudo sbctl enroll-keys
```
- sbctl refuses if the TPM eventlog shows option ROMs (e.g. a dedicated gpu).
Don't force it, either trust exactly those with `--tpm-eventlog` or
microsoft's keys with `--microsoft`. Without either, the firmware may not
start the device, in the worst case the machine doesn't boot at all.
6. enable Secure Boot in the firmware and set a firmware password, then check
```bash
$ bootctl status | grep "Secure Boot" # enabled (user)
$ sudo sbctl status # Secure Boot: ✓ Enabled
```
- If it doesn't boot anymore, disabling Secure Boot in the firmware boots as before
- Losing the keys isn't fatal: erase the keys in the firmware and start over at step 1
## how to upgrade the system
```bash
$ cd /path/to/repo
