Manual configuration

The following things are not (yet) automated by Nix. Follow these steps after finishing the installation (including Home Manager).

Import secrets

It is assumed that your secrets are stored on a LUKS encrypted USB drive partition (sda3 in this case).

USB=/dev/sda
USER=$(whoami)
HOST=$(cat /etc/hostname)

# Open crypt
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/crypt
sudo cryptsetup open "$USB"3 crypt
sudo mount /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt/crypt

# Copy secrets
sudo rsync -vP /mnt/crypt/gpg-backup.sec.asc /tmp
sudo rsync -vP /mnt/crypt/$HOST/keys.txt /tmp
sudo chown $USER:$USER /tmp/gpg-backup.sec.asc
sudo chown $USER:$USER /tmp/keys.txt

# Import secrets
mkdir -p ~/.config/sops/age && mv /tmp/keys.txt ~/.config/sops/age && chmod 0400 ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt
gpg --decrypt /tmp/gpg-backup.sec.asc | gpg --import
gpg --edit-key D371C8E7D58F9D1E # replace with your key ID
gpg> trust
Your decision? 5
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? (y/N) y
gpg> q

# Close crypt
sudo umount -lf /mnt/crypt
sudo cryptsetup close crypt
