# Contributing
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some instruction on how to contribute are available (in french) in [/CONTRIBUTE.md](CONTRIBUTE.md).
|
||
|
You're expected to read this document before commiting to the repo.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some documentation for the development tools are provided in the aforementioned file.

# Using the binary cache
|
||
|
|
||
|
Add the following module to your configuration (and pin this repo using your favorite tool: npins, lon, etc...):
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
{ lib, ... }:
|
||
|
let
|
||
|
dgnum-infra = PINNED_PATH_TO_INFRA;
|
||
|
in {
|
||
|
nix.settings = (import dgnum-infra { }).mkCacheSettings {
|
||
|
caches = [ "infra" ];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|

# Adding a new machine
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first step is to create a minimal viable NixOS host, using tha means necessary.
|
||
|
The second step is to find a name for this host, it must be unique from the other hosts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> [!TIP]
|
||
|
> For the rest of this part, we assume that the host is named `host02`
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Download the keys
|
||
|
|
||
|
The public SSH keys of `host02` have to be saved to `keys`, preferably only the `ssh-ed25519` one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It can be retreived with :
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
ssh-keyscan address.of.host02 2>/dev/null | awk '/ssh-ed25519/ {print $2,$3}'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Initialize the machine folder and configuration
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Create a folder `host02` under `machines/`
|
||
|
- Copy the hardware configuration file generated by `nixos-generate-config` to `machines/host02/_hardware-configuration.nix`
|
||
|
- Create a `machines/host02/_configuration.nix` file, it will contain the main configuration options, the basic content of this file should be the following
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
{ lib, ... }:
|
||
|
|
||
|
lib.extra.mkConfig {
|
||
|
enabledModules = [
|
||
|
# List of modules to enable
|
||
|
];
|
||
|
|
||
|
enabledServices = [
|
||
|
# List of services to enable
|
||
|
];
|
||
|
|
||
|
extraConfig = {
|
||
|
services.netbird.enable = true;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
|
||
|
root = ./.;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Fill in the metadata
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Network configuration
|
||
|
|
||
|
The network is declared in `meta/network.nix`, the necessary `hostId` value can be generated with :
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
head -c4 /dev/urandom | od -A none -t x4 | sed 's/ //'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Other details
|
||
|
|
||
|
The general metadata is declared in `meta/nodes.nix`, the main values to declare are :
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `site`, where the node is physically located
|
||
|
- `stateVersion`
|
||
|
- `nixpkgs`, the nixpkgs version to use
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Initialize secrets
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create the directory `secrets` in the configuration folder, and add a `secrets.nix` file containing :
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
(import ../../../keys).mkSecrets [ "host02" ] [
|
||
|
# List of secrets for host02
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will be used for future secret management.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Update encrypted files
|
||
|
|
||
|
Both the Arkheon, Netbox and notification modules have secrets that are deployed on all machines. To make those services work correctly, run in `modules/dgn-records`, `modules/dgn-netbox-agent` and `modules/dgn-notify` :
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
agenix -r
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Commit and create a PR
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once all of this is done, check that the configuration builds correctly :
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
colmena build --on host02
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Apply it, and create a Pull Request.
