William Carroll c187d89f27 Rename socrates/default.nix -> socrates/configuration.nix
readTree uses the output attribute set of default.nix as the value for
nixos.socrates, which disables me from resolving nixos.socrates.rebuild since
there is no rebuild attribute in the output attribute set from default.nix.

If I rename default.nix -> configuration.nix, I can resolve
nixos.socrates.{configuration,hardware,rebuild}.

briefcase

Welcome to my briefcase: my monorepo.

I'm attempting to amass a collection of packages that span a variety of languages while minimizing the costs of sharing the code. This also includes configuration for things like emacs, ssh, and other tools.

Installation (Deprecated)

The installation instructions here are deprecated. I'd like to manage packaging and installing with Nix, but that is only partially supported at the moment.

wpgtk and gvcci

$ apti python-pip3
$ gclone deviantfero/wpgtk
$ cd ..
$ gclone FabriceCastel/gvcci
  • TODO: Integrate Emacs themes into wpgtk.
  • TODO: Integrate Vim themes into wpgtk.
  • TODO: add these to the install script
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/.password-store ~/.password-store
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/bin ~/bin
$ import_gpg $DOTFILES/configs/shared/gpg/.gnupg/exported
  1. Clipmenu

Clipmenu is a service to store a history of copied strings.

Install it as:

$ cd ~/programming && g clone cdown/clipmenu
  • TODO: Include ~/.config/systemd/user in configs/shared.
  • TODO: Obviate installation.

Ensure that it runs on startup:

$ cd ~/programming/clipmenu
$ cp clipmenu clipmenud clipdel ~/bin # You may not need to do this step.
$ vim init/clipmenud.service
# Change the ExecStart line to point to ~/bin/clipmenud
$ cp init/clipmenud.service ~/.config/systemd/user/clipmenud.service
$ systemctl --user start clipmenud
$ systemctl --user enable clipmenud # This step may be optional.
$ reboot
$ systemctl --user status clipmenud # Verify installation worked.
  1. Install Dropbox
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
$ crontab -e # add the following line...
@reboot ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd 2>&1 >/tmp/dropbox.log
$ reboot            # 1/3 verify installation
$ pgrep dropbox     # 2/3 verify installation
$ dropbox.py status # 3/3 verify installation
  1. Authorize computer to access GitHub
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C 'wpcarro@gmail.com'
$ eval $(ssh-agent -s)
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ xclip -sel clip <~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
$ browse github.com # paste ssh public key in settings
  1. Install Vundle, nix-env
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Vundle.vim ~/.config/nvim/bundle/Vundle.vim
$ cat ~/Dropbox/install_nix.sh | sh
$ for p in $(cat nix-env.txt); do
>   nix-env -i "$p"
> done
  1. Install dotfiles
  • TODO: include steps 2-4 in the make install command.

Missing the following dependencies:

  • stow
  • neovim
  • fasd
  • opam
  • ghcup
  • hub
$ cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles
$ DOTFILES="$(pwd)" make install
  1. Install Node dependencies

For now, this deserves its own section since it isn't automated.

$ gclone tj/n       # clone repo
$ sudo make install # build from source
$ n stable          # install the stable version of node
  • TODO: support dependencies like terminal themes

SSHFS

TODO: add explanation about unison, rsync, etc.

SSHFS enables seamless file transfers from your local machine to a remote machine.

Usage

Assuming your remote machine is configured in your ~/.ssh/config (see above), you can mount your remote machine's home directory on your local machine like so:

$ mkdir ~/ec2
$ sshfs ec2:/home/ubuntu ~/ec2 -o reconnect,follow_symlinks

Now your remote machine's home directory can be accessed using the ~/ec2 directory. This directory can be treated as if it were an ordinary local directory. To illustrate how easy it is to use, let's install Vundle onto our remote machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/ec2/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Voila! We now have Vundle installed on our ec2 instance without needing to manually SSH into that machine.

GnuPG

To install GPG run the following:

$ import_gpg

TODO: create a job that runs this periodically.

$ export_gpg

Reference

- sec: secret key
- pub: public key
- ssb: secret sub-key
- sub: public sub-key

Terminals and Fonts

Any terminal or font I choose should pass the following checks:

$ test_true_color
$ test_16_colors
$ test_text_formatting
$ test_unicode
$ test_emojis

Ligatures

If using a font with ligature (e.g. Hasklig) assert that your terminal also support ligatures.
