Deployment

All deployment is handled via just recipes using nh.

Commands

just deploy              # Current host (auto-detects NixOS vs Darwin)
just deploy obox         # Remote deploy to obox (builds on obox)
just deploy mach         # Remote deploy to mach
just deploy dsd          # Remote deploy to dsd
just deploy semi         # Remote deploy to semi
just home nikhil         # Home-manager only (run on target machine)

How It Works

just deploy auto-detects the platform:

  • Darwin → nh darwin switch . -H jp-mbp
  • NixOS (local) → nh os switch .
  • NixOS (remote) → nh os switch .#<host> --target-host <user>@<host>

Remote hosts use passwordless sudo (--elevation-strategy passwordless).

Other Commands

just build <host>   # Dry build (eval only, no compilation)
just iso            # Build installer ISO
just fmt            # Format nix files (treefmt)
just update         # Update flake lock
just check          # Check flake (eval all configs)
just gc             # Garbage collect all profiles

SSH Host Aliases

Ensure your SSH config has entries for each host (or use Tailscale MagicDNS):

Host obox
    HostName obox
    User nikhil

Host mach
    HostName mach
    User niksingh710

Host semi
    HostName semi
    User nikhil.singh

Host dsd
    HostName dsd
    User nikhil.singh

Tailscale MagicDNS resolves hostnames automatically - no /etc/hosts entries needed.
