# PVV NixOS config
This repository contains the NixOS configurations for Programvareverkstedet's server closet.
In addition to machine configurations, it also contains a bunch of shared modules, packages, and
more.
> [!WARNING]
> Please read [Development - working on the PVV machines](./docs/development.md) before making
> any changes, and [Secret management and `sops-nix`](./docs/secret-management.md) before adding
> any credentials such as passwords, API tokens, etc. to the configuration.
## Deploying to machines
> [!WARNING]
> Be careful to think about state when testing changes against the machines. Sometimes, a certain change
> can lead to irreversible changes to the data stored on the machine. An example would be a set of database
> migrations applied when testing a newer version of a service. Unless that service also comes with downwards
> migrations, you can not go back to the previous version without losing data.
To deploy the changes to a machine, you should first SSH into the machine, and clone the pvv-nixos-config
repository unless you have already done so. After that, checkout the branch you want to deploy from, and rebuild:
```bash
# Run this while in the pvv-nixos-config directory
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --update-input nixpkgs --update-input nixpkgs-unstable --no-write-lock-file --refresh --flake .# --upgrade
```
This will rebuild the NixOS system on the current branch and switch the system configuration to reflect the new changes.
Note that unless you eventually merge the current changes into `main`, the machine will rebuild itself automatically and
revert the changes on the next nightly rebuild (tends to happen when everybody is asleep).
