# Fresh Install

This is a collection of scripts and dotfiles I use when setting up a fresh Linux installation.
Now compatible with **NixOS** (declarative via flakes + home-manager), as well as traditional
distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, and Pop!_OS.

## Quick Start

### Traditional Distros (Fedora / Ubuntu / Debian / Pop!_OS)

Run the main setup script to install software, configure development tools, and symlink dotfiles:

```bash
./main-setup.sh
```

The script will automatically detect your Linux distribution and use the appropriate package manager.

### NixOS

On NixOS, packages and configuration are managed **declaratively** using the flake in the `nixos/` directory.
Run the main script for a guided workflow:

```bash
./main-setup.sh
```

Or apply the flake directly:

```bash
# Rebuild system configuration
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#nixos

# Apply user-level configuration
home-manager switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nixos#blake
```

## What Gets Installed

### Core Packages

- **Docker** (moby-engine) with Docker Compose

### Flatpak Applications (Traditional Distros Only)
- Bitwarden
- Discord
- Flatseal
- Podman Desktop
- ProtonUp-Qt
- Signal
- Steam
- Teams for Linux
- Thunderbird
- Visual Studio Code
- VLC Media Player

## Modular Architecture

The setup is broken down into focused scripts:

- `00-system-prep.sh` - System updates and Flathub setup (NixOS-aware)
- `01-package-install.sh` - Core packages and Flatpak apps (NixOS-aware)
- `02-dev-tools-setup.sh` - Development tools: Neovim, Hack Nerd Font, Go, Ruby on Rails,
  Oh My Posh, Helm, kubectx, stern, dive, trivy, AWS CLI (NixOS-aware)
- `03-fedora-dotnet-setup.sh` - Fedora-specific .NET environment (skipped on NixOS)
- `04-config-symlinks.sh` - Dotfile symlinking

You can run individual scripts if you only need specific components.

## Dotfiles

The following configuration files will be symlinked to your home directory:

- `.vimrc` & `.vim/` - Vim/Neovim configuration
- `.zshrc` & `.zsh/` - Zsh shell configuration  
- `.gitconfig` - Git configuration (**edit with your credentials**)
- `.gitignore` - Global Git ignore patterns
- `.agignore` - Silver Searcher ignore patterns
- `.aliases` - Shell aliases (from `aliases.zsh`)
- `.gitmessage` - Git commit template (from `commit-conventions.txt`)

### Git Configuration

**Important:** Edit `gitconfig` and replace my credentials with yours before running the setup.

### Vim/Neovim Setup

I use Neovim with vim-plug for plugin management. If you're using regular Vim, you may need to:
1. Remove Neovim-specific plugins from `.vimrc`
2. Run `:PlugClean` to remove plugin directories
3. Run `:PlugInstall` to reinstall compatible plugins

## Post-Installation Tasks

After running the setup, remember to:

1. **Configure Git with your details:**
   ```bash
   git config --global user.name "Your Name"
   git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
   ```

2. **Generate SSH key:**
   ```bash
   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C ${USER}@$(hostname --fqdn)
   ```

3. **Install Powerlevel10k gitstatus (if using):**
   ```bash
   ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k/gitstatus/install -f
   ```

4. **Log out and back in** for Docker group changes to take effect (Fedora)

5. **Install VS Code extensions** (Fedora):
   - C# Dev Kit
   - GitLens
   - Prettier
   - NuGet Package Manager GUI

## Supported Distributions

- **NixOS** — Declarative via `nixos/flake.nix` + `nixos/home.nix`
- **Fedora** (with full .NET development environment)
- **Ubuntu/Debian** (core packages and development tools)
- **Pop!_OS** (core packages and development tools)

## NixOS Setup (nixos/)

The `nixos/` directory contains a declarative flake-based configuration:

### Files

- **`nixos/flake.nix`** — NixOS system configuration:
  - System packages (Go, Ruby, Python, Kubernetes tools, networking tools)
  - Docker, Flatpak, and virt-manager services
  - Zsh as default shell
  - Hack & FiraCode Nerd Fonts
  - Neovim as default editor

- **`nixos/home.nix`** — Home-manager user configuration:
  - User packages (Go tooling, Ruby on Rails, shell tools, cloud tools)
  - Zsh aliases and environment (Go, Ruby/Rails, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Terraform)
  - Git configuration with template and includes
  - Dotfile symlinks (bashrc, zshrc, aliases, gitconfig, gitignore)
  - Oh My Posh theme and Nushell config

## Customization

Feel free to fork this repository and modify the scripts/dotfiles to suit your needs. The modular structure makes it easy to add, remove, or modify specific components.

## Legacy

The original monolithic `post_install.sh` script has been archived in `.archive/` for reference.
