# NixOS configuration for NAS server "chopper"
|
|
|
|
This repository is for development of the NixOS configuration of my NAS server.
|
|
|
|
## Hardware
|
|
|
|
This is intended to run on a RockPro64 with two 40TB HDDs as storage and a 64GB
|
|
MicroSD card as boot and OS.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
### Zeroth milestone
|
|
|
|
- [X] SSH daemon
|
|
- [X] User who can act as a local admin
|
|
|
|
### First milestone
|
|
|
|
- [X] ZFS set up on the HDDs
|
|
- [X] Plex media server
|
|
|
|
### Second milestone
|
|
|
|
- [X] Samba for easy file access from Windows
|
|
- [ ] NFS for easy file access from Linux
|
|
|
|
### Third milestone
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Torrent client web control interface available over LAN
|
|
- [ ] Torrent client downloads over VPN
|
|
|
|
## Non-declarative things
|
|
|
|
You need to add accounts for the `samba`. It doesn't use the Linux passwords.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo smbpasswd -a $username
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To build the SD image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# building the NixOS portions
|
|
nix build .#nixosConfigurations.chopper.config.system.build.sdImage
|
|
cp result/sd-image/*.zst . # note it will be write-protected
|
|
nix-shell -p zstd --run "unzstd *.zst"
|
|
sudo dd if=$(echo -n *img) of=/dev/sda status=progress bs=4096
|
|
# build uboot
|
|
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' --argstr system aarch64-linux -A ubootRockPro64 --out-link ubootRockPro64
|
|
sudo dd if=ubootRockPro64/idbloader.img of=/dev/sda conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 seek=64
|
|
sudo dd if=ubootRockPro64/u-boot.itb of=/dev/sda conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 seek=16384
|
|
```
|

## Updating
|
|
|
|
From `chopper`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Building boot thing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage -I nixos-config=./sd-image.nix --argstr system aarch64-linux
|
|
cp result/sd-image/*.zst .
|
|
nix-shell -p zstd --run "unzstd *.zst"
|
|
sudo dd if=*.image of=/dev/sda status=progress bs=4096
|
|
```
